Yeah it was never really in doubt, they put some points on late and that's all fine and good but they didn't even have their kicker he got hurt. They were not going to tie this game. If they hadn't started going for 2 pt conversions in the 3rd Q they'd have been in a better position at the end then they were.
 
Great win. All wins are great. Still bothers me to see teams coming back on us though. We can't expect to do that against UNI next week. By that I mean get up big, for starters, and then hold on at the end.

Oh if fans don't have something to complain about then what else is new? Come on Bent!!! lol We wen't into prevent and were just running out the clock - it was over. We went second string on them, it's like what's the point. So they made a little run at the end.

We got the stop when we needed it most and that is all she wrote my friend!

Cool. I just caught the end. Phone was dead, so I missed the middle of the fourth quarter on my drive home. Just looking forward to next week and trying to raise the expectations a little bit.

I'm sorry....i agree with bent...love the win...not complaining....we are very good....however, we need to learn when to put that dagger in a team...when he overshot hilton in the endzone in the end...that would have so at least we are trying to....but we need to start letting teams know they are done and give them no hope....My guess is that bell was hurt in the end...would have liked to see him get over 200 yds....don't know why we give lough all of the carries in the end....maybe some short ydg...but he took all of them....I trust the coaches...but I hate 38 toss to the slowest back in the backfield on 4th down...if you are going to run on the perimeter...you need speed period....But...Love the win...I can't believe we won because I thought we played poorly at times....shakir bell is a beast...obaseki is a beast...he abused that dude...fouch is fouch...can anyone find hilton?

I actually think it had alot to do with us being up by 3 possessions. It was pretty much over. Coach went with the Bend don't break strategy and then they scored. When you are good it will happen.
 
Curious. Why did Harris get carries on the opening drive and then disappear the rest of the game?
 
Another point, too. We had a bad first half, but over came it. That's a great thing, but we had an int, fumble and punt block. That's a lot to overcome. Take those away and we win this thing in an absolute route. Again, UNI is a new beast. We can't have any of that next week. It's a huge game. I'm thrilled right now. Make no mistake about that. Just noting the things we need to do to take that next step. Time to raise the expectations. This team deserves a great year and can have it with a little more improvement.

I guess...but it wasn't pretty much over last week...ysu came back...and this time again...if they would have scored...got an onside...it could have been a nail biter....just saying...if you can...knock em off....why give em a chance....and I don't know what is up with luke harris...he did well...got a couple carries for five yards or so and disappeared....But I am just saying...dont' get me wrong...I am impressed with this team even more because I thought this game would be closer than it was...these guys are freakin good...
 
Don't think 79 and I are being too critical at all. Certainly not complaining. I think we just really believe this team can win the conference and know it's going to take a little bit more. Can't wait for next week's game. I'm planning to be there!!!!!! Have to add. I'm really freaking amped up about it right now. Can't remember the last time I was this excited to attend a football game. At any level!!!
 
Next step for the Sycamore fan base? Hanging around after a big win to talk about the game. Where did everyone go? I know, it's a Saturday, not everyone is as lame as me. I actually left the bar to come home and catch the end of this game.
