Hondo has found confidence as a dual threat quarterback and he is a capable in both respects. I would like to see Urban give him more opportunities on the ground because I think it will ultimately help with Hondo's internal clock in the pocket. He has historically had an issue holding onto the ball too long, so trusting his legs will continue to add a needed element of unpredictability to this offense. A very nice rebound this week, although against poor Rhodes.

Edit: 734 yards of offense! WOW. Will need to check where that output ranks for them all time in a single game.

That went about like I expected.

Maryville has cut the score down to a two-score deficit against Millsaps with a score at the 8:30 mark in the 4Q for 31-21 score. The Majors are trying to run clock trying to get a drive going and then turn the ball over with 6:46 remaining.  This will be interesting.

Berry opened it up on my Tigers in the 2nd half, 44-71 at the 2:00 minute warning

Sick to my damn stomach.

Sick to my damn stomach.

Bunch of self inflicted wounds on that last drive with those holding penalties, and then miss the field goal.  Let's see if the Majors can run out the clock.

Final in Jackson with Millsaps getting the upset of MC, 31-21.

Still one game on the schedule tonight with Southwestern at Centre.

Unexpected loss by Maryville, but the goal is still the same:  win out and you're the SAA champion.

Trinity was not in sync early, leading only 9-0 late in the first half and allowing Rhodes to convert two straight fourth downs on their one good drive of the day before a fourth third attempt from the TU 10 went awry, then someone turned on the switch and after scoring twice in the last two minutes they ended up with a total of six straight TD drives.  I think the Rhodes D just plain wore down in the 93-degree heat (and they had no tents on their side to shield them from the sun). That drive with the fourth downs was the only time the Lynx crossed midfield.

Berry did what Berry does, though Sewanee played 'em tough for the better part of two and a half quarters.  It will be interesting to see what Millsaps does against them next week, though the schedule makers were very kind to the Vikings who get all their tough opponents at home this year (except CMU which was their sole loss of the season so far).
