Sewanee up 34-0 on St. Scholastica at the Half, including three defensive scores in the first quarter.

First time in a very long time I've seen Sewanee playing someone whom they both out-mass and out-athlete. Figure on that balancing next week with W&L. coming to The Mountain.

BSC takes the win over McMurry 26-9. McMurry had the better QB play as BSC is breaking in a new, sophomore, QB. First okay from scrimmage BSC takes a run off tackle to the house, 75 for the TD. McMurry first drive ends in a punt, snap goes over the punters head and out the end of the end zone. After that it was a pretty even game. For BSC to duplicate our success from last season, the offense is going to have to find some rhythm.

On to next week as we take on instate rival Huntingdon at home.

That was not a very impressive debut, if you only beat McMurry by 17.

Whoa Sewanee, putting up a big 50 in the opener. Maybe the guy voting them first knew something. Congrats Tigers!

Trinity - Sul Ross in a lightning delay that just got restarted due to ONE strike nearby. Sigh.

Despite a bit of a slow start, Trinity put up 55 in three quarters against an outmanned but game Sul Ross, who had one really good (like shockingly good, 83 of their total 155 yards) drive but struggled to do anything offensively the rest of the game. Tucker Horn had a quiet night by his standards, going 16-23-328 with 3 TDs and no interceptions. In fact, despite the wet field conditions (tho it didn't rain much the game got underway) there were no turnovers either way. Trinity will be working to eliminate some of the early dropped passes and reduce the number of flags before Wheaton comes to town next week.

It's been some time since I've seen Sewanee play a team that we physically out-matched. Looks like we're a little more athletic this year compared to recent Sewanee teams. And I've heard some talk around the Mountain that this group took more care with off-season conditioning than in the past. W&L will be a good test next week to see if we're actually going to be competitive this season.

W&Ls offense looked absolutely anemic against CNU. Defense played well but the offense went nowhere. Sewanee will be interesting this year. Not sure if I will make it up to the game. Harder and harder as the kids get older.

Pumped to see how we measure up against Wheaton this week. Always nice to see cross-conference matchups in D3, especially ones involving heavyweights. No disrespect to anyone else on Wheaton's offense, but beating Wheaton in this game will probably start and end with containing their stud RB Giovanni Weeks, who had over 1400 yards rushing last year on an insane 8.2 yards per rush. He was held below 100 yards in only three games - their in season loss to North Central, playoff loss to Central, and an in-season blowout of Augustana.

I think Trinity is one of the few teams in the country that can limit the damage by Weeks (who is also aided by a great O-line). Can't wait.

Trinty/Wheaton will be a good game to watch.

I'm thinking that the B-SC/Huntingdon and Centre/Maryville games will be telling about both B-SC and Centre this year as well.

If BSC can't get something working on offense, could be a long season. Defense can only keep you in so long if the offense isn't moving.

This absolutely will be the key to limiting Wheaton. Giovanni is gonna get the ball....a lot. And Wheaton is going to run right at every single opponent because it's who they are. They lost to NCC last year in part because they only gave it to Weeks 13 times. They are a very different team than last year, whose strength was defensively. This Wheaton team will have to outscore opponents as they return just 1 starter to last years top 5 defense. The offense is better off with 3 OL and Weeks back along with a couple veteran WR's and their main backup QB (who played a lot) as well as a transfer QB from Liberty.

Trinity, with 21 returning starters including Horn and Harmel, should be comfortable favorites in this game in my view.
