THE NUMBER 12 LSU TIGERS CAME INTO STARKVILLE, MISSISSIPPI HOPING TO IMPROVE THEIR RANKING AGAINST AN UNRANKED MISSISSIPPI STATE TEAM. INSTEAD THEY FOUND THEMSELVES IN A DOG FIGHT – WITH A MUCH BIGGER DOG. THE BULLDOGS SCORED FIRST WITH A NICK FITZGERALD 3-YARD RUN. LSU CAME RIGHT BACK WITH A TOUCHDOWN OF THEIR OWN FROM DARREL WILLIAMS 10 YARDS OUT. THAT’S AS FAR AS LSU WOULD GO AS THE REST OF THE SCORING IN THE GAME CAME FROM MISSISSIPPI STATE. WHEN IT WAS ALL OVER, THE BULLDOGS SCORED 37 TO THE TIGERS 7. THE BULLDOGS HAD 465 TOTAL YARDS OF OFFENSE AND 25 FIRST DOWNS, NEARLY DOUBLING THAT OF LSU.
CAM 3 – JAYCE
THE NUMBER 3 TEAM CLEMSON TRAVELED ON SATURDAY TO FACE OFF AGAINST NUMBER 14 LOUISVILLE, A MATCH WHICH WAS SURE TO BE AN EXCITING ONE. CLEMSON’S DEFENSE PROVED TO BE A ESSENTIAL PIECE OF THEIR WIN, HOLDING BACK THE CARDINALS TO ONLY SCORING ONCE THROUGHOUT THREE CONSECUTIVE QUARTERS. CLEMSON QUARTERBACK KELLY BRYANT HELPED GET THE TIGERS TO AN IMPRESSIVE 47-21 WIN. CLEMSON WILL BE TAKING ON BOSTON COLLEGE THIS SATURDAY

THE 7TH RANKED MICHIGAN WOLVERINES FOUND OUT JUST HOW GOOD A KICKER THEY HAVE IN THEIR GAME AGAINST AIR FORCE. MICHIGAN’S QUINN NORDIN KICKED FIVE FIELD GOALS TO TIE A SCHOOL RECORD. AIR FORCE’S DEFENSE KEPT MICHIGAN’S OFFENSE FROM SCORING IN THE RED ZONE, CREATING THE KICKING OPPORTUNITIES. AFTER THE HALF, WOLVERINE DONOVAN PEOPLES-JONES RETURNED A 79 YARD PUNT FOR A TOUCHDOWN, GIVING MICHIGAN THEIR BIGGEST LEAD. AIR FORCE CAME BACK ON A 64 YARD PASS TO RONALD CLEVELAND TO MAKE IT 13 TO 16. THAT WOULD BE IT FOR AIR FORCE AS MICHIGAN TOOK OVER THE GAME, ESPECIALLY ON DEFENSE. A 36 YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN FOR MICHIGAN’S KARAN HIGDON IN THE LAST MINUTE GAVE THE WOLVERINES A 29 TO 13 WIN.

HURRICANE IRMA IS NOW HISTORY, BUT THE TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS CREATED A BIT OF A HURRICANE THEMSELVES ON THEIR HOME TURF AGAINST THE CHICAGO BEARS. THE BUCCANEERS DOMINATED THE GAME SCORING 26 POINTS IN THE FIRST HALF TO CHICAGO’S ZERO. THE 3RD QUARTER WAS A DEFENSIVE BATTLE WITH NEITHER TEAM ABLE TO SCORE. CHICAGO MANAGED TO PULL THINGS TOGETHER WELL ENOUGH TO SCORE IN THE LAST TWO MINUTES OF PLAY, TO MAKE THE FINAL SCORE TAMPA BAY 29, CHICAGO 7. BUCCANEER NICK FOLK KICKED THREE FIELD GOALS - ONE FROM 50 YARDS OUT.
CAM 3 – JAYCE
THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ENDED THEIR REGULAR SEASON STREAK EARLY WHEN THE ATLANTA FALCONS CLOSED THE GAME AT 34-23. ATLANTA SCORED THEIR 34 TOTAL ALL WITHIN THE FIRST THREE QUARTERS, THE PACKERS LOOKING LOW AT 34-10. GREEN BAY QUARTERBACK AARON RODGERS THREW TWO TOUCHDOWNS TO FINISH THE GAME IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, BUT IT WASN’T ENOUGH TO PUSH PAST ATLANTA’S LEAD. THE FALCONS ARE NOW 2-0, AND WILL BE TRAVELING TO FACE THE DETROIT LIONS THIS WEEKEND.

COMING UP THIS SATURDAY THE EVANGEL FOOTBALL TEAM HAS A HOME GAME AT THE OZARK HIGH SCHOOL STADIUM AGAINST 2 AND 2 WILLIAM PENN AT 1:30 PM. WILLIAM PENN IS A RUSHING TEAM WITH TEN RUSHING TOUCHDOWNS AND ONLY 3 THROUGH PASSING.
THE EVANGEL GOLF TEAM HAS STARTED THEIR SEASON. THEY WILL PLAY NEXT AT THE MISSOURI VALLEY FALL INVITATIONAL IN MARSHALL MISSOUI ON SEPT. 25.
THE MEN’S SOCCER TEAM ALSO PLAYS ON SATURDAY AT HOME ON CORYELL AGAINST CULVER-STOCKTON. CULVER-STOCKTON IS 2 -2 AND 2 OVERALL, NOT THAT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM EVANGEL. THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD GAME BETWEEN TWO FAIRLY EVENLY MATCHED TEAMS. GAME STARTS AT 3:30 Pm.
CAM 3 – JAYCE
THE WOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM WILL ALSO BE FACING OFF AGAINST CULVER-STOCKTON, BUT AT THE EARLIER TIME OF 1:30 pm. THE LADIES OF CULVER-STOCKTON ARE 3 AND 3. CULVER HAS A .216 GOALS PER SHOT RATIO VERSUS EVANGEL’S .198, SO VERY SIMILAR ON THAT STATISTIC. HOWEVER, EVANGEL IS RANKED NUMBER 9 IN TOTAL ASSISTS IN DIVISION 1 PLAY AND NUMBER 11 IN ASSISTS PER GAME. CULVER-STOCKTON HAS NO RANKINGS ANYWHERE NEAR THE TOP. WE MUST KEEP IN MIND THAT IT IS A CONFERENCE OPPONENT, SO THE GAME SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE.
CROSS COUNTRY HAS A SHORT BREAK BEFORE THEIR NEXT MEET, WHICH IS ON SEPTEMBER 30 IN FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS.
EVANGEL’S VOLLEYBALL TEAM WILL BE PLAYING TWICE THIS WEEKEND, FRIDAY AT 6 P.M. AGAINST GRACELAND AND 10 A.M. SATURDAY AT PERU STATE.
