vs. South Alabama

[mbenecke]

Huge deep pass to Broden gets us across midfield.

Why do we have Sun Belt refs at home in a non-conference game against a Sun Belt team? Can anyone explain that?

This is how it’s normally done.

[Schadenfreude]

Touchdown. Wow. McDonald found his groove.

[mbenecke]

And 2 plays later, we hit Andrew Bench for a 30ish yard TD pass! He was wide open - nice job!

2 point conversion is good.

With 9:08 left in the 3rd quarter, BG leads 19-12.

Great play calling that drive.

[mbenecke]

BG forces a punt on the ensuing defensive drive, and gets pretty solid field position out of it.

6:14 to play in the 3rd quarter, BG leads 19-12.

[mbenecke]

Hate throwing short of the sticks on third down. Especially hate it when we throw at the line of scrimmage on 4th and 16. That never has a chance, and it's essentially a pre-punt.

[mbenecke]

USA muffed the punt and BG nearly falls on it, but it squirts out of bounds at about the 9 yard line.

[mbenecke]

BG defense gives up a few plays but stiffens up at midfield and forces a punt.

BG leads 19-12 with 58 seconds left in the 3rd quarter.

BG ball at their own 25.

[mbenecke]

BG gets a nice break and a broken tackle on a short pass that takes us to the USA 31.

[mbenecke]

Oh my god. We tried a double pass and threw it directly to the defense. Terrible idea there.

It was a creative play, but that was just way too cute for the situation. Killed all the momentum.

[bgdodgeball4]

Sigh

[jpfalcon09]

Why the hell are they calling trick plays up 7 with the ball in USA territory?

[jpfalcon09]

Can only hope that doesn't come back to bite BG in the ass.

[bgdodgeball4]

We were at the USA 31 yard line and on first down. Why? Why why why?
