If you’re not heading out to a game, this is a great day to track multiple games online from home. Our Scoreboard page has audio, video or live stats for every game involving a Top 25 team, for instance. Just hover your mouse over the link icon and see what pops up for each game.
I’ll be at St. John’s/St. Thomas. I gave serious consideration yesterday to hopping in a car and driving to Wabash-Wittenberg. If Wabash had been hosting I would have been far more likely, as a nine-and-a-half-hour drive sounds a lot more palatable than a 12-hour one.
We’ve already laid out all the implications of the weekend on the Triple Take and the front page. What’s left, I think, is to actually play the games.
Chime in with any updates you’re tracking, as always.
Beavers 79 yard ko return, sixth of career, Wesley 6-0 (misses xp)
That guy’s pretty good dere eh?
Nice day here — temperature in the low 50s, little bit of wind, partly cloudy. This might be St. Thomas’ best chance to win in years but the sentiment here is cautious optimism at best.
Wittenberg leads Wabash 3-0 at the end of the first quarter. The Tigers scored on a 47-yard drive and have just 30 yards of total offense so far. (Pass interference penalty for the rest.)
Wabash tied it up on the first possession of the second half.
About ready to kick off — St. Thomas deferred possession and is kicking into the wins.
SJU QB Jordan Hansel underthrows receiver on third and long, picked off by Tommy Becker. I won’t give a ton of play by play on this game but will update on big plays, etc.
Trick play TD pass to Jake Friederichs — kind of a double reverse flea-flicker. UST up 7-0 early on.
Seems like I went two or three years without seeing a quick kick — St. Thomas just did it on fourth-and-11 from the 33, either the third or fourth QK I’ve been at this year.
UST got the ball on an interception by Brady Ervin, ball which hung up there for a long time in the wind. Couldn’t finish the drive.
7-0 UST 3:06 1st.
St. John’s held to 19 total yards in the first quarter. Hansel has completed all five of his passes, just two of them to the wrong team. Now SJU has the wind at its back.
Quarterback change for the Johnnies: Joe Boyle in the game.
And Jakob Redding rips off a couple long runs, one a 27-yard TD to cut the lead to 7-6. Bad snap on the extra point, blocked.
UW-Whitewater takes an early 3-0 lead at UW-Oshkosh. Jeff Schebler 34 yard FG.

David Sauer has done a fine job avoiding the pressure from the Johnnies so far. Teams trading punts. St. Thomas has done a decent job running the clock here in the second quarter, with the wind in its face.
Just converted a risky fourth-and-inches from its own 30, but fumbled at the 37.
And St. John’s fumbled — Kirk Baglien got the tackle, forced fumble and recovered it. St. Thomas with the ball now in Johnnie territory with under a minute in the half.
After first quarter at Oshkosh, UWW 10 UW-O.
Jeff Donovan to Aaron Rusch for 26 yards got the Warhawks out to the lead.

Wabash defense holds and the Witt kicker misses a second short FG. its just a 7 pt game w 6 min to play.
Wabash punts and then gets a Witt fumble and are at the Witt 35 yd line w 5 to play
Wabash scores and its 10-10 in springfield with 4.22 to play.
Whitewater and Oshkosh trade FG’s before half. Whitewater moves out to a 27-3 lead. WW QB Jeff Donovan 16-22-0 315 yards 2 TD’s at the half. Total yards at the half WW 369 Osh 88.
Thanks, usee. I lost Net here so posting from my phone.
SJU missed a 43-yd fg but was saved by a running into the kicker penalty. Still driving.
After all that, Wabash completes a 35 yd pass to the Witt 19 and with 11 seconds left Wabash kicks a FG to lead 13-10.
The LG’s will escape with a win despite 5 turnovers.

Back on the Net. St. Thomas just punted away with 4:40 left, some discussion up here as to whether the Tommies will actually get the ball back. Still 12-7 SJU.
St. John’s just took an intentional safety. With 3:10 left. SJU now just up 12-9. St. Thomas has the wind at its back — not much of a kicking game for the Tommies but now a field goal will tie.
St. Thomas going no-huddle here, quick first down into Johnnies territory.
Quick sideline pattern to Sam Moen and another first down to the SJU 35. 2:10 and counting.

Upset in the WIAC, River Falls 27 Eau Claire 19
WOW. unbelievable St. Johns game.
Whitewater’s Antwan Anderson for 40 yards and a Touchdown. WW 43 Osh 3. 4:07 remain in 4th quarter. WW recovers fumble on kickoff.
Doesn’t it always happen this way? You think it’s a week full of dud matchup and instead there’s a gang of upsets. I don’t know if I wrote it anywhere or not, but I started to get a feeling I was downplaying the significance of this week in the big picture a little much and would get a Saturday wake up call.
FDU-Florham upsetting No. 14 Del Val 19-14
Wilkes dumping Lycoming 27-13
Gustavus Adolphus No. 22 Carleton its first loss of the season, 30-29.
UW-River Falls upsetting No. 7 UW-Eau Claire 27-19
And H-SC, SJU and Wabash all squeaking by.
And it’s not even 5:30 here on the East Coast, plenty of Saturday left …
Agreed, though it would’ve been hard to call some of those. Tough to predict Florham on top, though I looked at that game as a possible when doing my Triple take. Gustavus couldn’t throw on SJU but could on Carleton? Etc.
CORRECTION: the JCU/Capital game is a night game. I clicked on the LiveStats and it shows a final of 31-17. must be wishful thinking or a good gag by the JCU stats guys.
