Game day, Week 2

I’m in Eau Claire,Wis., where there’s no wireless (or at least not consistent enough to get on) and we are all standing around waiting for the national anthem. Or for UWW to come out of the locker room, not sure.

One of many big games today, especially in the afternoon, but before we get to your updates kudos to UMHB, which struck a blow for D-III pride by beating Southern Nazarene last night, a ranked NAIA team. It was UMHB’s first game and SNC’s third.

On with the games!

  1. In addition, the chain gang moved too early on a play that was wiped out because of penalty. The chains were reset in the wrong position and the officials failed to check to see what the yard marker on the chains said. Instead of fixing the chains, they moved the ball back five yards to make it the correct third-and-12, but from the wrong line.

    Didn’t make a big difference although Wartburg ended up with a 50-yard punt from its own 49 that landed on the Augsburg 1.

  2. Wartburg converts on the short field with a 5-yard pass to Justin Vetter and ties Augsburg 10-10 going into the halftime.

  3. Wartburg misses a field goal wide right, 3:26 left in the third quarter and still 10-10. Waste of a good possession by Wartburg, where the Knights had gone 60 yards on seven plays. Getting the running game going.

  4. Marcus Hemeseth intercepts a Jordan Berg pass and returns it 36 yards to the Augsburg 4. Tim Jones runs it in one play later and Wartburg is up 17-10 with 9:26 left.

  5. Augsburg looking at fourth-and-goal from the 2 with 4:07 left. Berg was stopped for no gain on first down, then two incomplete passes.

  6. Royce Winford finishes the 14-play drive with a touchdown catch on a crossing pattern and the extra point is good, 17-17 with 4:02 left.

  7. Winford comes up with the interception on third down near midfield, Augsburg has it back with 3:11 to go and one timeout.

  8. I’ll offer this up here just because things have slowed down and I can’t be smited here for admitting to listening to the James Madison/UMass game (hey I was lost driving around in the woodsy wilds of McLean).

    But anyway, JMU scores twice in a 34-second span in the final minute of the 1st half. At one point, the Dukes get a boost with a “clock moment” and the announcers says something like … “Hey this isn’t Rowan-Bridgewater… “

    Augsburg blocks a 47-yard field goal attempt on the final play of regulation.

    Flash back to 2004: Final play of regulation, Wartburg at Augsburg. Wartburg has a FG to win, 3 seconds left on the clock. A 41-yard attempt… Blocked… flag… too many Auggies on the field… FG re-kicked… good. 27-24 in regulation.
