DECATUR, Il --- Quarterback Tim Brylka threw for 208 yards and four touchdowns, three to Jerome Jackson as 8th ranked Millikin bombed North Park, 50-12, in a College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin game Saturday. Brylka connected with Jackson on passes of 12 and 25 on Millikin's first two drives to stake the Big Blue to an early lead. Brylka hit 15 of 20 attempts with no interceptions. Millikin came into the game ranked first in the nation in Division III scoring (51 ppg) and in the top five in rushing and total offense and did nothing to harm those rankings. Millikin amassed 510 yards total offense, including 260 on the ground. Aggressive play by Millikin's special teams contributed to North Park's first score. After Millikin blocked a North Park punt and converted it for easy scores, North Park faked a punt after its next drive was stopped and Kurt Rowells hit Brent Frahm with a short pass. Frahm scooted for a 67-yard score and Millikin's lead was cut to 14-6. Brylka and Millikin came right back with a 70-yard drive, with tight end Mike Smith, who also passed for a TD on a reverse later in the game, catching a 1-yard scoring toss from Brylka. Undeterred by the long play, Millikin blocked the punt on North Park's next drive and converted it into an Andy Beals field goal for a 24-6 lead. Jackson had eight catches for 148 yards, with a long of 35. Ryan Corley also had TD catch for Millikin. Millikin (8-0, 5-0 CCIW) travels to Elmhurst Nov. 4 and closes the regular season at Illinois Wesleyan November 11.

Where are the D-III 20th Century All Stars? Where is the NCAA Division III 20th Century All American Team? As usual, the student/athletes who have played the game for fun have been ignored by everyone who has selected Teams of the Century - but that will be corrected by usafootball.com. See story.....
