Wow! Those play calls in the red zone. We are not trying to put the nail in the coffin but breathing room. Come on!

Exactly my thought. It's like we get in the red zone and forget what has worked for us. Cool it with the trick plays.

Yes! But, we need to stay on the throttle... so when run the table the playoff committee sees we beat up on the teams we beat during the second half of our season.

Well, never mind we are still in a game. Ugh.

Wrong throttle.

Yep... but it should be at least 27-14 or 31-14 if we didn’t have those bone headed play calls on the three yard line.

Missed INTs and dropped wide open passes. Lots of missed opportunities that good teams would take advantage of.

Got a little tight there for a bit when they ran back the kickoff for TD, but the team responded well and came away with a solid win.

MSU is often a tough place to play (ask ILSU and NAU), so to come away with a 17-point win there in a year that they're doing better and we're down a bit...that's huge.

UNI is up next and they're leading SDSU currently at halftime, so that won't be an easy game either.

When we and UNI get together, does the visiting team travel the day before the game? Three and a half hour trip is not that long but long enough for an old guy to stiffen up without a pit stop or two along the way.

UNI looking like they have a pretty good two-headed monster at QB. Dont count on us running for 150+ next week.
Embrace the pace of the race.
