Crowd looks really good. Lots of students in the north end of the West stands.
I'll post photos later when I get home.
We're up 14-3 with 3:26 left in the first half.

"Kicking Game" do we even practice this? I don't see a special teams coach listed on staff. 2 blocked punts and 2 missed field goals, roughing kicker took that away. Hopefully get away with this poor play on Kicking. Defense looks good.

Did they just open west stands to general admin/students? East stands look empty except for band.

I don't know...there's definitely a lot of students over in sections F and G. Peach Blossoms are in front of me just next to the band.
Eastern is having a really hard time with the heat...lots of cramping injuries.

Seems like Norvell is throwing a lot of wild passes and hoping Lance comes up with them....just threw an INT to an Eastern guy......never mind....our D just had a pick 6.

As usual, norvell decides who he is throwing to pre-snap, stares him down, and forces throws. You never see him going through any progression.
Fumbles also bad.
Eastern bailing them out with penalties and turnovers.

Yea, sloppy play by both teams. Our D had been a pleasant surprise so far only allowing 3 pts.

Remind me again why Eastern left the Gateway and the MidCon?
Apparently #8 in MVFC is far better than #2 out of OVC.
