I was getting drinks when they did the fake punt! Perfect call!

Trinity #23, Birmingham-Southern #24 in this week's D3football Top 25.

... answering the call of the Centre fans from last week who were looking for poll positioning for the SAA, when the answer was, once teams get more consolidated then the votes probably will consolidate also.

Speaking of which, Trinity-Centre gets a couple of minutes towards the front of this week's ATN Podcast.

Week 6 in the SAA:

Berry 49, Millsaps 21 - Vikings set offensive records, over 600 yards against the Majors (459 on ground!)
Birmingham-Southern 42, Hendrix 6 - Panthers keep rolling along with Robert Shufford sitting after the first half; Hendrix held to 141 yards (-11 rushing)
Rhodes 55, Sewanee 13 - Lynx outscore Tigers 48-0 after Sewanee took a 13-7 lead early Q2
Trinity 27, Centre 7 - and then there were two SAA undefeateds

Week 7:

Millsaps (1-4/1-1) at #23 Trinity (4-0/2-0), noon CDT - actual fall weather in San Antonio
#24 Birmingham-Southern (5-0/2-0) at Centre (4-1/1-1), 1pm EDT - first common opponent this season for the SAA leaders
Sewanee (0-5/0-2) at Berry (3-2/1-1), 1pm CDT - doesn't get any easier for struggling Tigers
Hendrix (1-4/0-2) at Rhodes (2-3/1-1), 7pm EDT - can Rhodes put two good games in a row together?

Dominating, but subdued, performance from Trinity. Centre's score was a long pass, but other than that they never really threatened. Trinity lines are both very, very strong.

Would like to see the offense mix up the play selection a bit more. Perhaps not necessary when out to solid leads and overall in control.

Lots of speed and very aggressive play. Really fun to watch!

Seems to me that Berry moved the ball better against Trinity than Centre did.

Berry isn't dead and out of this yet. Still only have the one conference loss and still plays BSC and Centre.

Football is a funny game, unexpected Ls come up all the time. Agreed.

The Panthers have once again left the state for another conference game. This game against Centre will really be a good chance to see exactly where this BSC team is. Looking forward to a good one tomorrow.

I have a feeling the one Quick Hit panelist who picked Centre to upset B-SC is going to be quite surprised tomorrow. Safe travels.

Or maybe it will be me. Centre 13-7 mid-Q2 as they have kept Shufford well in check so far.

Trinity can't get out of their own way right now. Some costly penalties and now a missed field goal. 7-0 Trinity but this shouldn't be close right now. Offense not in synch and Horn has missed some throws he normally makes in his sleep.

And a TD called back followed by a missed chip shot FG. Still 14-0 after 1.

BSC 14-13 at half, Shufford held to 21 yards.

It's 20-0 Trinity with 4 mins to go in the first half, but Trinity is still not firing on all cylinders. A bad snap on a field goal from the 4 yard line results in a loss of yards rather than 3 points. Second field goal gone wrong today.

tigerguy · October 16, 2021, 03:15:24 PM

Tiger defense continues their dominant run. Allowed 50 yards total in the first half - 18 of those on one broken run. 20-0 Trinity.

BSC got the ball back with 7 mins left in the 4th, down 7, and Shufford broke off a 51 yard run. Two plays later he fumbled on Centre's 3 yard line and Centre recovered. He has been completely bottled up other than the 51 yard run. We'll see if BSC gets another shot to tie. 5 mins left in the 4th, Centre 21, BSC 14.

Ron Boerger · October 16, 2021, 03:19:22 PM

I think Centre/BSC are still in Q3,their live stats are messed up.

Trinity 5+:1 on 1st half yardage but definitely work to be done to clean the offense up.
