62-second shocker
ATN's take The sports world is still buzzing about the unbelievable ending to the Trinity-Millsaps game, and rightly so, as 15 laterals took the team 60 yards over 62 seconds for six points and a 28-24 victory. But there's more to the game than a fancy set of laterals. As Keith McMillan and Pat Coleman discuss in this week's Around the Nation podcast, this game had SCAC title implications. Plus, more coverage of the miracle ending, with D3football.com correspondent Ron Boerger reporting from the scene. There's already been plenty of discussion of this on the Daily Dose, so click here to see the Trinity video and join the debate. Plus, elsewhere in the ATN podcast, what are the things we take away from the UW-Whitewater/Mary Hardin-Baylor game? How about the Pool B picture? Did RPI or Alfred gain anything from their off weeks on the field?That and more in this week's ATN podcast. | |

Statistical spotlight
Each week during the regular season we look at some of the key statistical performances from the weekend in Division III football, highlighting one per region. No. 6 Central has won six games in which they’ve been outgained this season, but they didn’t need to do it a seventh time on Saturday. The Dutch rolled up 571 yards of offense, the fourth highest in team history, in a 40-14 win over Cornell. Vance Schuring racked up 132 yards on the ground while quarterback Tim Connell threw for 325 yards and four touchdowns, setting new school records for touchdown passes (25) and yards (2,236) in a season. No. 15 New Jersey ran over Cortland State both literally and figuratively to take control of the NJAC race. Chase Misiura and Dan Dornacker combined for 209 yards on 41 rushes (5.1 yards per carry). Not surprisingly the Lions had more than a 15 minute time of possession advantage (37:44 to 22:16) in a 30-0 shutout victory. Matt Denny booted his seventh field goal of the year of at least 40 yards, tying a Carthage school record with a 49-yarder in a 38-28 win at Millikin. The Red Men kicker is already Carthage’s career leader in field goals (39) and kick scoring (239 points). He needs three more this year to pass Millikin’s Andy Beals for the CCIW all-time mark (31) and is 7-for-8 from 40-49 yards. Quarterback Cedric Townsend gave his team a high five with three touchdown passes and two touchdown runs as North Carolina Wesleyan knocked off USAC conference champion Christopher Newport 42-32. Townsend erupted for 132 yards running and 215 yards passing. His 13th rushing touchdown of the year extended the Battling Bishops’ lead to its final margin. | |
