It hurts that Line didn't have a TD today.

Great win, but there is plenty to improve. McD threw 50%, D could not stop the no huddle. Weak of is well needed. Not to mention no blocks by Margus, lets get him back to being a terror.

How did we finish on 3rd downs? It was 4 for 4 at one point then later saw it was 5 for 13. 0_0

I just realized that if they hadn't gone for a 2-pt conversion, but kicked a PAT instead, there would have been no OT. whew.
great win, nonetheless.

UH's no-huddle will still be a nightmare to deal with. They run it as well as anyone and they won't wait until the late 3rd to start using it.

I think this is the first time I think I've seen June smile, right after the game ended...

And yet on the post game, he was already trying to downplay how big of a W this is.

That send off to the locker room was awesome. Every fan stuck around and cheered all the way to the lockers. Very cool.

We won on the road against a superior team. Hell of an accomplishment. Perfect? No. But satisfying, certainly. Great win and better than the 2005 win in my book.

That was amazing. 4-1. The Skillet back home and a week off (which we all need). Doing it at their place. Withstanding the onslaught. Our boys have gonads of steel.

The team's primary goal is to win C-USA and this wasn't a C-USA game. With 6 conference games to go no reason to get all excited over a non-conf win even if it is over a rival on the road.

I understand the reason to downplay it but no reason to get excited?
Probably the biggest victory for this program since before the Death Penalty is more than enough reason to get excited....even if just for a day.
