UNCP shuts out St. Paul's 37-0

UNCP posted its third shut out in 3 seasons Saturday, blanking the St. Paul's College Tigers 37-0 in Pembroke. A crowd of 2,300 snapped a four-game sellout streak. I assume most of the students are away enjoying Labor Day weekend. Also, QB Matt Evans has moved up the depth chart to the No. 2 position, overtaking Garrett Sutphen. Evans completed three passes for 49 yards in the fourth quarter Saturday in his first action of the season.

Missed chances doom 'Pack

The bad thing is, Russell Wilson showed he's not as fast against the SEC's speedy defenders. The good thing is, the Gamecocks are 1-0 . . . The 'Pack has scored 3 points the last two games vs. South Carolina.
