They look like a competent football team, at least through the first half.

Loving the defensive effort today, so far. It's been a good game to watch.

Some strong runs by Frye and Hargrove to replace Clair. We are really deep and really talented in RBs. I hope we get to a point where that can shine through a little more.

Attended more games than any responsible student should have.

Yes, he’s out with a sprained ankle he suffered during his fumble.

Lol that fumble and touchdown is the kind of bad luck that happens to bad teams. Tied up 28-28.

Feels like whoever has the ball last is going to win.

Feels like the best performance we have seen all year.

More of the same. Getting dominated in the 2nd half. Up two scores midway through the 3rd and it all collapses.

We lack depth on the D-line. That much is obvious.

Welp.

Western Michigan may win the West. That's probably as good as we've seen from the Falcons all year. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough.

Better effort same results.

Terrible use of the timeout for that crappy 4th down call. Why do a roll out to the left. Can't set your feet to get anything on the throw. Stay in the pocket and throw. Using that timeout cost us 40 seconds at the end.

Speaking of the end, why put in Loy for the hail mary. He could only get the ball to the 15 yard line. Doege has the strength to throw it into the end zone for a jump ball to Morris. 3 boneheaded moves!!

I didn't have a problem with the timeout. Get yourself together and plan a good play.

Was it a good play? It obviously didn't look good. Maybe a Falcon might have missed a block or something.

Jinks just said Loy can throw the ball farther. That's why he put him in there.
