Thanks for the update. For some reason Milsaps stats page wasn't updating.

Onwards to Week 3. Looks like the entire league except for Southwestern is on the road.

Was not expecting to see Trinity crack the top 25 this week - they make their first appearance at #23.

Wouldn't have thought that thumping Belhaven would be what impressed voters, but we will take it!

Trinity at PLU should be interesting, with the Lutes facing off against the school where their HC, Brant McAdams, played during the end of Trinity's glory days ('02-'05) and also coached there as an assistant for two seasons under Jerheme Urban prior to taking on the lead role at PLU. The Lutes lost a tough game at Cal Lutheran to open the season before dominating NAIA II Simpson (CA) 42-16 last week. McAdams took over after the son of PLU legend Frosty Westering resigned after limited success in 2018, and after a couple of rough seasons has had the program on an upward trajectory, finishing either 2nd or 3rd in the NWC the last three years. Last year's record of 7-3 was the program's best since 2014.

I tried to find a mileage award flight to get up there this weekend but the options out of SAT this late are pretty scarce/costly so will just use part of the month's Flo sub that I still have.

That's seems fair to me looking at the box scores from PLU's first two games.

I'd say Berry will do the same at CMU. Maryville is off this week but have NAIA Pikeville visiting the following week.

Based on last week's performance, I think I'll take the over on that.. But I guess we'll see how the boys adjust to the time difference.

Holding a team scoreless that put 50 on the board the previous week, while limiting them to basically 100 yards total offense will draw some attention.

PLU will be donating 25% of Saturday's ticket sales to the Kellyanne Elizabeth Lytal Memorial Foundation. For those who didn't follow the tragic flooding that occurred July 4th in the Texas Hill Country, Kellyanne, the young daughter of Trinity OC Wade Lytal, was one of (edit) 137 who lost their lives in the flooding that day. The foundation "supports meaningful philanthropic efforts that reflect Kellaynne's kind spirit and ensures that her light continues to shine brightly in the world." Thank you, PLU.
