Don't know which game everyone else was watching, but from where I was standing Whitten was the difference on the field as usual.
The kid racked up almost 200 yards and 3 TDs, and was a slip away on a rain-slicked field at the 1-yard line from getting his 4th of the night. He also had a huge interception in the end zone that killed Trinity's comeback attempt.
Not to take anything away from Trinity. They were a decent team and played a good game. Did a good job of trying to contain Whitten's explosiveness. But I really think the game wasn't as close as the score. The Knights controlled the tempo of the game from the opening kickoff. AND they had a kickoff recovery and fumble recovery taken away from them by refs who overturned their first decisions each time. Both of those probably would have put the game away a lot sooner.
ND is the real deal and have been counted out by most people this entire season. And like each time this season they stepped up and proved their doubters wrong. Can't wait to see this matchup in Bridgeport. Granbury is a tough out, but I like ND's chances of keeping this magical run going on a little more.
