Dickinson Steps in as Leader

Taking on Millsaps with an undefeated record, the Trinity Tigers were unsure of who their starting quarterback would be. The coaches decided that senior Jeremy Staska would start the game but would alternate series with sophomore Pat Dickinson. The tigers struggled offensively in the game with their only points scored by a kick return from wide receiver Caleb Urban. The defensive unit was stout but in the end, without offensive production, the Tigers gave up 28 points losing to the Millsaps Majors 28-7 on the road. After this loss, the Tigers needed to re-evaluate who was going to lead this team for the rest of the year. After a rough week in practice, the coaches named Dickinson as the starting quarterback heading into their first home game vs. Birmingham Southern College. With high hopes, the Tigers entered their fifth game with a 3-1 record and high hopes for the young quarterback. Dickinson showed veteran leadership in the game and led the Tigers to a 41-14 victory. Dickinson had one touchdown pass along with two rushing touchdowns (one shown in the image above). This game should seal him into the starting role and going into the bye week, Trinity has high hopes for the season and the possibility of a SCAC title. With the Tigers young players becoming comfortable in their starting roles, there are only positive thoughts heading into the crucial bye week. After this well needed rest, Trinity will host Sewanee next weekend and show what they are made of against a tough opponent.
