The Bulldogs head into TLU Homecoming week with a 5-0 overall
record, matching the record through five games of the 2013
squad.
Howard Payne, out of the American Southwest Conference, fell
to a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference squad for a second
straight week. The Yellow Jackets are 3-2.
TLU, ranked 20th in the latest AFCA Division III poll, won
for the 14th time in 15 games.
Barrolle entered the game as the No. 3 leading rushing in
all of NCAA Division III. He made a solid bid Saturday to move up
the national rushing list. The 5-4, 150-pound sophomore from
Ingleside (Ingleside) eclipsed the school record for single-game
rushing yards with 288 yards on 23 carries and two
scores.
The 288 yards by Barrolle broke the 1985 single-game rushing
record of TLU Hall of Famer Richard Miller, who rushed for 276
yards in a 34-3 win over Nuevo Leon (Mexico).
Barrolle scored on runs of 58 and 90 yards. The 90-yarder is
the second-longest run in school history – second only
toDominique
Hardaway's 91-yarder last season against Howard
Payne. The three longest runs in school history – 91, 90 and
88 by Shane Summers in 1987 – have all come against Howard
Payne.
Through five games in 2014, Barrolle has rushed 136 times
for 905 yards and 10 touchdowns. He has caught 21 passes for 190
yards and a score.
Jordan Sims (San Antonio/Somerset) also put himself in the
TLU record book Saturday. His 95-yard interception return for a
touchdown – that featured Sims going from the HPU sideline to
the TLU sideline and back to the HPU sideline before falling into
the endzone – tied the longest interception return in school
history.
Sims, a senior cornerback, now shares the mark with TLU Hall
of Famer Carl Schoessow, who had a 95-yarder against Trinity in
1969.
Sims' play gave TLU a 54-20 lead with 13:28 remaining in the
game.
Sims scored on an interception return for a second
consecutive week. He had a 25-yarder INT return for a touchdown in
the Sept. 27 road win over Southwestern Assemblies of
God.
The Bulldogs took control of the game from the opening kick.
TLU took that first kickoff and marked 60 yards in eight plays, in
1:37, for a quick score. A.J.
Saucedo capped the drive with a 1-yard
run.
Barrolle's 58-yard TD scamper pushed TLU to a 13-0 lead at
the 7:25 mark of the 1st quarter. The
lead hit 20-0 on another Saucedo scoring run – this time from
three yards.
Reigning SCAC Player-of-the-Week Trenton
White threw TD passes to Lewis Williams
II (17 yards) and to Caleb
Oliver(24 yards). White (Sachs/Sachse) completed 24
of 36 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns.
Oliver (Pearland/Lutheran South) caught six passes for 72
yards, and Williams added three catches for 30 yards. Williams'
first catch of the day gave him the TLU DIII-era record for most
catches in a career, 152. (The all-time TLU record for career
catches is 202, held by the late Roy Maas, another TLU Hall of
Famer.)
The Bulldogs rushed for 373 yards and passed for 291, for a
total offense mark of 664. TLU did not commit a
turnover.
TLU intercepted HPU quarterback Richard Young three times.
In addition to Sims, Adam
McGuire (Houston/Cypress Falls)
and Drake
Dowling (Katy/Katy) each picked off
passes.
Weak safety Michael
Wall (El Campo/El Campo) led TLU in total
tackles, with 13. Wall had five solos and eight assists. He also
had 1.5 tackles for loss.
Defensive tackle Daniel
Brinson (Deweyville/Deweyville) registered a
sack (for two yards), six total tackles, and 1.5 tackles for
loss.
Tyler
Brandenburg (Spring/Concordia Lutheran)
connected on field goals of 35 and 42 yards.
The win Saturday at Brownwood's Gordon Wood Stadium was
TLU's fourth straight road win of 2014. The Bulldogs now return to
Bulldog Stadium to play the second game ever at the new on-campus
facility.
TLU hosts East Texas Baptist at 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11 in
the TLU Homecoming game of 2014. The Bulldogs will honor three
individual former student-athletes and the entire 1974 NAIA-II
National Championship squad during festivities next
weekend.
This season is the 40th anniversary of the
undefeated 1974 national championship season with Head Coach Jim
Wacker.
