The Gulls’ performance against Husson University last week revealed 672 yards of total offense, 27 first downs and 11 offensive touchdowns in a matchup the Gulls won 84-7....

In their first game against Averett, the second string didn't perform as well as the starters. Hampden-Sydney held a 45-7 lead going into the fourth quarter and finished with a 45-30 win.

In the second game, against N.C. Wesleyan, however, H-SC almost lost its 21-6 lead but escaped with a 21-19 win...

Below is the article on the Sewanee Website about yesterday's beating.

The second quarter proved to be a killer for the Sewanee football team today. After holding the Tigers of Hampden-Sydney College to just three points in the first stanza, Sewanee gave up four touchdowns in the second period as Hampden-Sydney went up 31-0 and never looked back. Hampden-Sydney would add one more touchdown in the third quarter to make it 38-0, a score that would stand until the final buzzer.

Things started slowly for the visiting Sewanee Tigers ...

"Obviously, it's tough with everyone knowing Corey and...

A Great Football Story

D3 Preview Mentions HSC

The ODAC, with Hampden-Sydney. I think the Tigers are a little stronger than we give them credit for entering their opener with Averett. How many times has a Marty Favret offense plugged in another quarterback and been off to the races? I remember worrying about a Favret offense once. That was 1998, however.

Returning playmakers on both sides of the ball make Hampden-Sydney the favorite to win its third Old Dominion Athletic Conference title in the past four years.
Junior running back Kirk Rohle led the ODAC in scoring (17 touchdowns), rushed for 854 yards and caught 49 passes for the Tigers (10-1, 6-0) last season. He should keep the heat off new starting quarterback Travis Lane.
Also back is senior defensive end Will Riggenbach, the reigning ODAC defensive player of the year. He had a league-high 14.5 sacks for the ODAC's best defense....
