I thought Richmond looked very impressive. Did a good job both offensively and defensively - seemed like both the OL and DL could teach the 'Necks a thing or two.

Announcer talked about getting leverage by going under the pads or something like that. Put that on our To Do list for sure.

That really is under-performing, given ideal weather, end of finals for them, most dorms were still open, etc. I seriously wonder just what it does to the player psyche when they all put their heart and soul into it, but they don't see what they expect from support as they come on the field. Our YSU game this year, I was thinking that same thing.

I have to come back and edit this thing because I DO believe I have found the answer. If one of our buds can't make it to the game, none of the rest of us would know how to get there.

Need to be taking good notes on this too. When you are penalized for getting too loud, get louder.

Looks like NDSU has just about put the game away. 6 1/2 min left and they're up by 11.

On the catch before the TD, I was pretty sure the receivers foot touched the out of bounds line, but they never looked at it?????

That safety is the nail. Special Teams the difference in this game. Not only that, but both offense and defense fed off them.

Down to the final four. Next weekend, Sam Houston State will play at #1 Jacksonville State, and #7 Richmond will play at #3 North Dakota State.
Winners of those games will meet in Frisco, TX on January 9th for the FCS Championship Game.
