Every coach we have had in the last 10-15 years has said the same thing.  The key to winning on a consistent basis is having a reliable running game.  We just never seem to get there.  The highlight of the game for me was probably the "Tarps Off" show put on by the I assume opposing fanbase.

Western had 315 Total Yards:  263 Yards Passing.  52 Yards Rushing.

Attendance at Hanson Field = 2,716

 

Wasn't expecting a win, but was expecting a more competitive game. The attendance was disappointing, but weather probably hindered some people from attending. Unfortunately, last night's performance won't encourage people to come out and watch them play.
 

Sat on West side seemed more than 2,700.  Thought we slowed their top back pretty well.  Soldiers down all over the place ankle injuries.  Went in new performing arts center pretty nice.
