Where are my blood pressure pills?????

Got so f**Ing lucky with that OPI.

Wow. What a game. We are going to have to get it together before the Lamar game!! That was too close!

Is it windy or something in Nac?????

VERY LUCKY to get this win. Spare me the we outplayed them or any of that talk. UIW came in with a good plan offensively--without all the early drops they had this game turns out differently.

To our credit we did prevail in the final score. Definitely was our biggest test so far.
Plenty work on with the bye week. Some fewer penalties, no stupid fouls and respect every opponent.

Will be seeing much more QB draws from opposing teams from here on out.

So glad to see the Jacks at 6-0 going into the open week.

Fun to be 6-0… thankfully

Outplayed, outcoached, out kicked but not outscored. Take it and move on. Credit UIW. We let them believe in the 2nd quarter and this is what can happen.

Correct on all counts. We play like this against Lamar and we're toast, especially at their place.

After tonight only SFA and Lamar are undefeated in conference play, SFA @ 3-0 and Lamar @ 2-0.

Jenkins has only carried the ball 5 times. What gives??

I don't get that either. Seemed like we could have used more of him

Pretty good bet that Jenkins got banged up in some way--that's the only imaginable reason that his play was limited tonight.
Bye week a good time to heal minor injuries.

Our cornerbacks were exposed. It's ok to give up some of those slants in the crease. But those routes on the outside. They just FEASTED on us. We controlled the run. But today our DB's looked average. At best.


I don't think Nicholls will test us, so maybe we can make some adjustments.

Frisby is the best DB in the country. No question.

A couple of plays down the stretch, he was beat. Badly.

For chunks of the game he was more than good.

ACU beat #18 West Florida 35-7
HCU shut out a bad Nicholls State team 16-2 (they got a safety on a holding call in the end-zone)
East Texas A&M beat UTRGV 20-17

Players who could (should, IMO) lose their starting spots after tonight's bad play...K Alvarado and DB Morgan-Collins.

BTW, irony... Morgan-Collins got burned several times on deep throws, then (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) was the guy that made the tackle on the 2-point conversion that saved the game.

Alvarado. ***. mystifying.


And Morgan Collins. Definitely got outplayed more than 5-6 times.

Good football teams know how to win on their worst days. It's consistent with every good program at any level. Rough performance but we will bounce back.

Now that I've had time to digest this. We played and won a bad game by us. If we look at the previous 5 games, at least 2 of which were against tougher opponents, this was an outlier bad game for us.

SFA found a way to win when playing like ***** It is what it is. Gavin played really well all night, his interception was a clear as day PI that wasn't called. The receivers couldn't get separation but made plays when they needed to. And the defense, despite giving up a ton of yards, stood tall when they needed to.

This game is not a game to freak out about. There are things to work on, but we've seen several times this season that this SFA team is much better than what we saw against UIW.

Bad games happen. This was a bad game. Now they have 2 weeks to think about it, get mad, and take it all out on Nicholls to get the ship back on track.
