- Our o-line held their own again.
- DL played their guts out. I think we will win the line of scrimmage in just about every conference game this season.
- Still looking for a MLB. Rhone played with the 1's in the second half, but still got caught in the wrong read. The only MLB who made a couple of plays was Tui.
- Yenga and Shaq need to make more plays. At least 11 showed up a couple of times.
- Sutton is amazing and Davis is great.
- Heard more from Thomas tonight, that is a great sign. If he can be a playmaker bookend to Sutton, watch out.

Lot's of encouraging stuff, still at 6-6.

I had us at 4 wins this year. Your 6 wins appears more than attainable.

Yenga needs to learn to tackle.

I was scratching my head on the deep bombs on 4th and 1? why not just try and pick up the first?

I was thinking the same. For a moment I thought... Oh never mind

It was third, right, not 4th that we went deep? Either way, we moved the ball in the second half because we abandoned the run. I think there was shell shock after they stuffed us earlier on 3rd and short and we had to kick a field goal. Kind of surprised we didn't just get matt under center and push on short yardage because that did seem to work.

I am also surprised Chad did not have any trick plays cooked up. Great game and they never quit.

Most of those looked to be successful without pass interference poor late in the game exhausted Sutton

"Settling" for those 2 FGs in the red zone is what did us in ultimately. GOT to punch those in!

Proud of our guys, let's break some records (in a good way) against JMU, come out healthy and then take the AAC by storm. 6 wins. Calling it right now. If we stay healthy.

Your team deserves more than the 200 fans that would drive the 30 miles to watch them.

Ya know, the 4th and short early in the game, i had no problem. That is a 13 play drive, and you want points.

... and 4th and short late, I was really thinking we should just go big time, as we were on a roll, but still, Morris is thinking, "Let's get this thing to a one score game and then we have
our shot". And he was right, we did have our shot to tie it, but yeah, you just can't win the game with all those field goals when your defense is just hanging on for dear life.
So yeah, I am going for it on the last one.
But I am not complaining...

I heard a few S-M-U chants during the game; must have been an exceptionally loud 200 fans if they accounted for .0041% of the announced attendance.

Oh, I wasn't complaining about the playcalling. I meant that our football team should have scored a TD and not had us be in that position to kick the FG. I don't really have an opinion on the actual call. HCCM knows way more than I do.

Yep, exactly OjaiPony. I have my opinion, but I am not gonna Monday Morning Quarterback our HC, I have way too much respect and love for Coach Morris.
