It's the fourth quarter, PC is up only 10-0 in spite of dominating TOP and having 0 turnovers.

PC has had to go for it on fourth down 3 times and is 2-9 on third down.

It kind of goes to show that PC is a team that has 0 athletic ability on offense. Because really, they haven't made any mistakes. They are averaging 5ypc and have completed 19-26 passing. It looks like they are getting yardage but not making plays that you would expect out of a D1 program.

It's really sad. Wofford is gonna have a good senior day when the time comes

More of a rhetorical question.

Point is: I think PC is worse than they were when they first went D1

Roger that; my answer was more for the other inquiring minds who want to know...have had a bunch of my students go to school there.

It's really sad for PC (they won the game btw).

They've only had 2 winning seasons in the last 12 years or so and a sizeable proportion of their wins have come against teams with fewer scholarships.

Lindsey Wilson is ranked #4 in NAIA, so this really isn't a bad win for Presby (I actually expected them to lose).

The Early YearsLindsey Wilson College was founded in January 1903 as Lindsey Wilson Training School. The school was named in memory of Lindsey Wilson, the deceased nephew and stepson of Mrs. Catherine Wilson of Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Wilson contributed $6,000 toward construction of one of the school's first buildings, which now serves as the L.R. McDonald Administration Building. Funding also came from the citizens of Columbia andMrs. James Phillips of Lebanon, Ky., for whom Phillips Hall, the women's residence hall, is named. Mrs. Kizzie Russell of Columbia also made substantial gifts, leaving in her will a $1,000 gift for the school.
The training school opened for classes in January 1904. According to the minutes of the Louisville Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, the new school enjoyed early success:"The opening of (Lindsey Wilson Training School) on the 4th of January was rather phenomenal. Before the carpenters and painters could make their departure, in the rush to have the building in readiness for the opening, pupils began to pour into the dormitory and into the town, in numbers, until 222 had matriculated the first session."In its early years, LWC educated grades one through 12. Concentration was on "normal work" to prepare students to be teachers; many continued their education at Vanderbilt University.In 1923, the school's curriculum was reorganized and a college department offering a junior college degree was added. Columbia's citizens responded to the challenge by donating $10,000 to assist the institution's growing needs.In 1934, LWC closed its academy and the school became exclusively a junior college. The college, however, maintained a Model Training School from 1933 through 1979.To read "The Founding of Lindsey Wilson College: 1899-1904" and to view historical pictures of the college, go to the Digital Library of Appalachia (http://dla.acaweb.org/).
