Unknown DIII college now in the record books!!!!


Normally, no one gives any care towards division three football games. Last Saturday Trinity beat Millsaps College giving them national attention for the play that ended the game. Being down 22-24, Trinity had the ball on the thirty-nine yard line with only two seconds remaining. Everyone in the crowd thought they knew what was coming next which would be a hail-mary pass. As the ball was hiked, Trinity quarterback Blake Barmore looked deep and he found no one was open. He threw a short pass to receiver Shawn Thompson hoping that he would get into the end zone giving Trinity the win. Well, after 15 laterals later, the ball ended up in the end zone giving Trinity the win.

This is the most amazing play ever because of the elusive ability that Trinity showed escaping the defense. To be honest, when watching the play, it looked as if Trinity was playing hot potato! This play reminded me of the 1982 play that the University of California ran against Standford to win the game when the band ran out onto the field. While watching the replay of the play that won the game, it looked as if Trinity was in bad shape many times, although they seemed to squeak the ball out and throw it to another teammate. Millsaps College quit on the play! I think many of the players thought the play was over, although Trinity would not give up. Fans do not really care about a division three college, although this play was incredible. Kudos to Trinity for not giving up.

Yeah they the D definitely gave up on the play. It was also terrible tackling. They would miss a tackle and then just lay on the ground and take their time getting up while the play was still going on. You pull that crap in D-I you won't be playing football anymore. Millsaps looked to have no heart and no defensive abilities. But I don't want to take anything away from what Trinity did that was an awesome and incredibly athletic play, and as you said much Kudos to them.
