The Tigers came off a hard working bye week with a world of confusion when it came to the starting quarterback position. Dickinson had started two winning games but with junior Rob Davidson coming off an ankle injury, the Tigers were unsure who would start against Sewanne. After changing the starter to Rob Davidson in last week’s practice, Dickinson stepped his game up. The coaches saw this effort from him and made a serious coaching move that they would not regret. Coming into Saturday’s game, the coaching staff put all their trust in the sophomore and it paid off. Dickinson stepped in with a dominating performance leading to a 40-0 victory over the Sewanee Tigers. Dickinson threw one TD pass to Caleb Urban but the true standouts were the Trinity backfield of Chris Baer and Al Furlow. The tandem combined for a total of 161 yards rushing along with 3 touchdowns proving that their speed/power combination works. The defense also stepped up shutting down a less than stellar Sewanee offense holding them to 42 total yards. A standout on the defense was defensive lineman Jonathan Alexander who had a sack along with a safety. Another standout was sophomore cornerback Tyler Barrett who had an interception returned to the Sewanee 1 yard line. Coming off this huge win, the Tigers are prepared to head down to Indiana to face DePauw who leads the conference in offense. This will be the first real challenge for the Tigers defensive unit. The coaches are excited to see what this great defense can do against a powerhouse offense and how quarterback Pat Dickinson can show his leadership in such a season-defining game.
