Solid NCC drive on only 6 plays covering 55 yards and less than 2 minutes. Wheaton 20, NCC 14. Slight momentum change... NCC starting to get rolling? We'll see. 1:34 remaining in 3rd quarter.

Momentum killer... Wheaton just returns kickoff return 60+ yards. I mentioned earlier in the week, Wheaton's special teams would factor in this game.

Crud... underthrown pass by Chupp intercepted in endzone.

After a key long interception return (and lateral) by Grandy of Wheaton to NCC's 28 yard line, Wheaton fumbles it right back. I'm telling ya', Wheaton has got to reduce the number of turnovers in the big games. Man I wish I was there... sounds like a great game.

For all of you who picked Millikin over Carthage today, I am happy to say that you were WRONG!! Carthage will also beat Augie next week. Mark my words.

50 yard TD pass to Spencer. NCC 21 - Wheaton 20. Turnovers, turnovers... are turning this game around. Credit NCC for taking advantage. Completely different game from first half. NCC controlling the game in 2nd half, especially on defense.

10 minutes remaining in 4th quarter.

Yet ANOTHER Chupp interception, this time returned for a NCC TD. 28-20 NCC. Turnovers are KILLING Wheaton and feeding NCC. 4 Wheaton turnovers in 2nd half alone. Not many rivalry, "game of the year" type games are won when a team turns it over that often.

5:05 left in the game.

Character drive by Wheaton to cut it to 28-26 with 3:04 remaining in game. Chupp recovered nicely from interception returned for TD to lead Wheaton down the field with a few key passes.

Wheaton going for 2pts...

2 point pass incomplete...ouch

Mugsy · October 01, 2005, 10:48:46 PM

Pass batted down on 2pt. conversion... NCC 28 - Wheaton 26. Whoa, what a game!

How good is Wheaton's place kicker this year?

Mugsy · October 01, 2005, 10:50:18 PM

Onside kick? Not sure I agree with that with over 3 minutes remaining. NCC has ball as kick goes out of bounds and ball touched by Wheaton before going 10 yards.

How many TOs left for each team?

Mugsy · October 01, 2005, 10:51:57 PM

Wheaton had all 3 remaining. NCC had 2, I believe.

Looks like NCC has mounted a nice comeback! From what I heard Auggie looked like, well, Auggie. Are they that good, or was NP that bad, considering they started off 3 & 0. As far as Auggie/Carthage, Id pick Auggie in that one, they kicked the crap out of the conference champs last year so i would expect the same again. :
