Congrats to Mike! I've always been a supporter of him and glad he's getting to show what he can do this year with a solid supporting cast. Let's keep this going now for the rest of the season - line needs to keep giving him time, receivers need to keep making plays, and the running game needs to keep the D honest.

"Mike Perish, Quarterback, Indiana State, Senior, 6-3, 225, Frankfort, IL

Perish completed 25-of-43 passes for 317 yards and three touchdowns in the 27-20 Indiana State victory at Ball State (FBS). His 317 passing yards are the second-most in the history of the program in a game against a FBS opponent. After falling behind the Cardinals 14-3, Perish had a 25-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Johnson and then another two-yard scoring strike to Issac Beverstock just before the half as ISU took a 17-14 lead. His longest and biggest pass of the game came in the form of a 28-yard touchdown pass against triple coverage to Kyani Harris with 3:50 left in the game which surged the Sycamores ahead to stay. On the day, Perish found 10 different receivers as ISU won at Ball State for the first time since 1982."

What I think is great, considering I'm pretty short myself. Is that Gary Owens is only 5'9". Just think what that guy could do with a few more inches. Really good off season pick up.

is there a website that has individual and game stats from last year. I was trying to remember exactly when we were doing well and losing and when the wells were coming off. Parish had a few pretty solid games as much as people complained about him. And Ive also got in a couple discussions on the anygivensaturday forum and i just dont want to have to look through the game notes on the gosycamores website
 
Tennessee Tech is when the wheels fell off IMO. Bad showing at IU, but we demolished Quincy (Perish's career high passing yards came in that game) and had the ball with a chance to tie/beat Purdue. We had TT game all but won multiple times if I remember right but just couldn't close the deal. From what I've heard from players (and saw in the tunnel after that game) is that is when the downturn happened. The injuries had started to pile up at that point, lots of finger pointing and self-centered behavior was going on in the locker room, and that was the second heartbreaking loss in as many weeks. My brother told after that game that was the worst locker room atmosphere he had experienced in his 3+ years at State to that point. The team was never the same after that.

When he went down against USD.

I guess it does go to show you that when the QB has more than one-tenth of a second of protection, he's bound to look better. All our QB's were running for their lives last year. Not so much this year.

But let's not focus on that - we've got a good team with good chemistry this year and we're going to keep it rolling!!

so i accidentally pushed "back" and deleted an amazing reply. im going to try to recreate it.....

So I'm not focusing on the bad of last year. In a season where we went 1-11, when the only way we could have helped TTU win more was by wearing purple helmets we were still not as bad as the record indicates. I'd say our lack of depth just became very evident. In the YSU game Parish was 30-56 for 392yds passing. At halftime, we were down 21-10 in what, imo, was the least indicative score ever. a 95yd pick 6 and stupid penalties or something (maybe a blown blocking assignment) cost us 14pts. We could have easily been up by a very dominant 21-14 at half.

So what I was saying (mostly to some of the AGS posters) was that, yes we went 1-11 and yes we had a bunch of real bad years. But if your teams and fan bases go off of a 1-11 season and everything that happened between 1997 and Trent Miles, you are collectively going to have some really sad Sundays this fall.

They should all be available at GoSycamores.com --- look under the 'More' tab and select the archived stats OR look at last year's schedule and the post-game stats/notes should be available via hyperlink
