MAC Title Game

[roguewarrior]

NIU was supposed to stink. I was one who penciled them in as a BG win. They are as young as BG. Looking good, playing to their players strengths, may win it today.

It’ll be about 3-4 games in next year and most everyone will agree it’s been enough and ready to move on.

[Tony4BG]

Been hearing all game how young they are and their record last year.

[Tony4BG]

Not sure who was their QB last year but bringing in Lombardi was huge

And Lombardi isn’t a whole lot different than Grant Loy.

NIU giving Crum fits today wow

BG played both of these teams to a one score game this year.

Lombardi is a far better passer than Loy. Not even close. Loy is one of my all time favorite BG players and it has nothing to do with his arm.

Kent got a FG and now has the ball back. 14 point deficit is far from insurmountable for this offense.

Would not count their offense out!

Grant Loy....good enough for Auburn...bur not BG

SL has had an excuse/story every year. This year he was following the Clawson plan...even though the xfer portal makes that template obsolete. What will it be next year

I get why Loy left but always wonder if things would have been different if he stayed and played instead of McDonald.

Eh. Loy being “good enough for Auburn” is a little bit overblown. He played in a whole 2 games and was 0/2 passing for his career down there, statistically. And that was following a season here at BG where he completed 56% of his passes for 6 TDs and 11 picks.

I love Loy for the Toledo game, but it’s not like he was some prolific passer that was going to lead us to the promised land.

He was down there for his leadership and to be a body in case their starter (and backup) got hurt. Good for him for having the opportunity to get in at an SEC school, but he rode the bench there. In terms of on-field production, it wasn’t a huge loss to have him leave.

[Flipper]

Loy was on their team...stating that isn't overselling anything

Also fair. The SEC is the SEC, after all.

What an amazing ending to Baylor/OK ST. Literally decided by inches
