Things didn't start well for the #1 Crows in their home opener against the team they booted from the Big Ten lo these many years ago. The Illini tossed a 77-yard TD pass to get us going. But that didn't last long. HB Delmar Coffee followed with a couple of 1-yard TD runs and QB Clarence Oveur hit WR Donfredale Harper with a 45-yard TD pass. At the end of one, HMU led 21-7. Ten more Crow points in the third and three TD passes from Oveur to WR Lance Day in the fourth made it a 52-7 shellacking of Illinois. Next up for the Crows is a home date with Kent State.

The Golden Flashes weren't much of a challenge for the top-ranked Crows. Kent fumbled its first possession, leading to a 20-yard TD pass to Lance Day from QB Clarence Oveur. After a Kent punt, Oveur to TE Tomas Rosen for 14 yards and a score. Kent fumbles, 30-yard FG from Jerome Sherman. The Flashes finally busts free, scoring on an odd 84-yard TD pass in which three Kent players batted it around as the lone Crow defender dove for the pick. KSU missed the PAT though. At the end of one, HMU led 17-6. Joe Allen picked off Kent leading to a Delmar Coffee TD run. A Kent punt set up an Oveur to Uti Possidetis TD pass. Sherman tacked on another field goal and the Crows were up 34-6 at the break. HMU let off the gas in the second half as the Flashes outscored our heroes 14-7 but too little too late. The 3-0 Crows travel to College Station to take on the Aggies of Texas A&M next week.

I'll be honest. It was ugly. TAMU missed a 25-yard field goal on its first possession and that was a highlight. The Crows knocked through a 38-yarder by Jerome Sherman, made a pick via LB Samson Stewart and scored on a 1-yard Delmar Coffee plunge. After a Joe Allen INT, QB Clarence Oveur hit TE Randolph Yapp for a 57-yard TD and a 17-0 Crow lead. A shanked TAMU punt and a 40-yard Lance Day TD catch. The Aggies did manage a FG before the break but was down 24-3 at half. Coffee with a 3-yard TD run, Yapp with a 27-yard TD catch. TAMU added a long field goal (51 yards) near the end of the third, but it's like 38-6 at that point. Uti Possidetis with a 33-yard TD catch, later a 40-yard TD catch from Donfredale Harper. The subs got good time in this 52-6 shellacking. The Big Ten season starts next with the Crows still #1 and 4-0.

Michigan failed to give the top-ranked Crows a game. Minnesota was almost worse. After the first quarter, Henry Morton led 16-0 and hadn't scored offensively: CB Joe Allen returned an interception, DT William Washington made a safety sack, and DT J.J. Massey recovered a fumble in the end zone. The Golden Gophers scraped out a couple field goals later, but by that time, the Crow offense awoke and piled up some decent numbers en route to the win. Next is a trip to Bloomington.

Holy shit! What kind of foresight did the gods of college football have to offer up a rematch of last season's national championship in week one? Seems a bit fishy, no? The #2 ranked Crows of Henry Morton travel to the Swamp to take on the #1 Gators of Florida. The first drive of the game saw the Gators drive toward midfield, only to have the heat from an Edgarian Mukezamfura rush induce an interception. The Crows used a nice mix of runs from Delmar Coffee and new starting QB, fifth year senior Clarence Oveur, to get on the board first with a Jerome Sherman field goal. After a Mukezamfura interception, yes, that's right, HMU drove the 18 yards with three Coffee rushes and a 10-0 lead. UF came back, avoided disaster a couple times and got on the board with a field goal. After one, the Crows led 10-3. Early in the second, Sherman added another field goal. The teams traded punts before a third and 11 pass from Florida resulted in a 52-yard bomb and first and goal from the four. The Gators hit pay dirt and dropped the lead to 13-10. With time running out in the half, Oveur went to the air, connecting five times with his tight ends, four of them to senior Tomas Rosen, including an 11-yard score right before the break. At the half, HMU is up 20-10.
Facing third and 2 from their own 19, the Crows sent a dagger to the heart of the Gator fans, an 81-yard catch and run from Oveur to senior speedster Lance Day. Florida missed a field goal but forced a punt after Coffee was injured (enough to miss the rest of the game). On third and 14, the Gators burned senior corner Joe Allen for a 40-yard bomb to the Crow 1. Two plays later, Florida was in the end zone, squashing the lead back to 10 at 27-17. That's how it stood going into the fourth. The Crows then embarked on a 15-play 54-yard drive, taking up 4:22 of game time, before Sherman booted a 31-yard field goal to up it to 30-17, HMU. It took only one play to make this a one-score game. Allen was burned once again, yielding a 63-yard touchdown and trimming the Crow advantage to 30-24 with 5:23 to play. Wanting to spare no last effort, Coach Fielding Blue calls for a long one on first down at the Crow 20. Oveur obliges, hooking up with Day for a 42-yard gain into Gator territory. The offense hunkers down, running the ball consistently, using the backups to Coffee, Marvelious Young and Tommy Guidry. Young gets the final carry, a 1-yard TD and a 37-24 lead with just 2:41 to go. Florida reaches the red zone quickly...but FS Booker Greene makes the pick. HMU runs three times and punts before Greene makes another interception to ice the game. Big, big win.
