offense looks better...defense does not. They need to bury them in the 2nd half...we dont want them hanging around
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

Sitting down to watch the 2nd half. Wedding was fine.

Bazelak is 17/19 for 206 yards and 2 TD at halftime. Pretty good!

Our defense is not playing well. Our offense has been solid today.

As I type this, we actually get an interception…when we should have knocked the ball down.
ROLL ALONG!!!

Not a good defensive drive there, but even though it lost us about 10 yards of field position, I’m okay with picking a ball on 4th down in the end zone. Take no chances when it’s a jump ball and there’s points on the line.

Finally, a touchback! Could use a few of those on kickoffs. Lol

Kickoff out of bounds. Unbelievable how bad we are at anything related to special teams besides blocking kicks.

Falcons up 24-12.

After a long run from Keith, Bazelak throws a strike to a wide open Fannin and BG leads 31-12 with 1:07 to play in the 3rd.

Defense is a work in progress, but I think the offense is gonna win us some games in the MAC.

It’s an FCS opponent and not a perennial power at that level. I wouldn’t read too much into it. It is nice seeing a QB that doesn’t scrape his knuckles on the ground everytime he has to pass.

I don't think anyone is saying we're going to be mac champions but I'm happy we looked like the better team for 60 minutes. It's a positive building block in a brutal non conference schedule. Our offensive weapons look legit and it's nice to have an easier win
