Never doubted for a second

I think ACU is better, but, I'll take the win.

We are a bad offensive team. Bad bad bad.

Thankfully, Acu was just a bit worse on O and kicking.

And, our "end of half" game management is atrocious. We tried to give that game away.

But, a win. Yay!

The team needed that W! Congrats, Jacks! #AxeEm

Good win. McNeese next. Ugh. Ugh.

Blumrick is best when he doesn't have to make a lot of reads so boring offense comes with the territory when your starting QB is hurt. Still, I've been really low on him and he came through tonight. That was the best the offense has moved with Jake playing ever, even if they had a hard time scoring.

I liked that Byrd eased off on the pressure tonight. I thought he really got away from what made that defense good last year when he was bringing heat against Mississippi State and UIW. ACU missed tons of chances but you cannot be disappointed with the outcome considering Sawyer's condition. Really nice team win.

My 6 hour round trip was worth it.

Agreed. Better to win ugly than lose. Glad Jake got the chance to put a W on the board.

I've been reading all the comments about how bad Blumrick is and how Josh should be playing.. Josh is not a passer.. he can run..that's it. It has always been a battle for the starting job between Foster and Jake. The Coachs are hopefully playing for their jobs so don't you think they are playing the best players.. And last year against ACU while Sawyer was in SFA was losing. He got injured and Blumrick came back and won the game. JJake is a passing QB. He passed for over 250 yrds last night.Not bad for being a non passing QB is some peoples opinion.When the offensive line can give him alittle time he's good.. Last year the offensive line was horrible and Jake never had time to go through his reads.. Also pease tell what Foster has done that makes him so great in everyone's mind. This team responds to Jake, it was obvious last night. Tje play calling is simple because no one this coaching staff has play calling experience... Everyonein the stadium knew we were going to run the ball on 1st down... Every 1st down! How many 3rd and 9 did we have last night. Your only giving your QB two plays to make something happen. Everyone needs to remember there are 1000's of people that can possibly do your job better than you but none of us can do what each of these players do every week.

I think a combination of the wet conditions plus your defense just playing well made Luke play so bad, he normally plays a lot better than that. IMO it's definitely not a stretch to say he might be the best QB in the SLC, but like you said he definitely didn't play like it last night.

I've got to admit I'm surprised but glad our team pulled off a win.

Its been a pretty great football Saturday.
SFA and Texas win,
Sam and A&M lose.

I'll take it.

And then, the Texans and Cowboys happen. Bad. Really, really bad.

At the game until the final gun (which actually didn't happen thanks to the refs). A lot of improvement still needed, but they came out and did what it took, so congrats to Coach Byrd and the game plan. Nothing is ever perfect, but more bounces went our way than not - scoop and score, 3 missed FGs evened out too many D penalties. The only time I thought we might lose our advantage was when Covey ran around for a -22 yard loss when field position was important that late in the game. All in all, I'll take the win in the rain. The purple sky was a good omen for us. Worst call of the night: the refs telling ROTC to stop firing the cannon due to too much smoke.

BTW, went to my first volleyball series on Saturday at 1pm. What a fantastic atmosphere - Shelton was standing room only. It was electric and they took down a good CentralArk team in 3 straight sets.

Great job Jacks.. A W is a W in my book... Wasn't able to watch the game but listened to the last quarter.. I am happy we won and hopefully Jake can lead us to more wins...
