And they had a timeout left too
Good finish shaping up in the FCS semifinal between EWU and Youngstown State on the red field
Looks colder than a witch's tit too.
How can you not take a timeout?
Yeah, that was horrible clock management with 2 timeouts
OMG he caught that lmao
Terrible clock management by Bo when he had 2 TO's left, and yea what a catch on the back of the defender.
I thought that dude picked it off at first glance.
Yea I thought so too
There is the ESPN top 10 winner and he saved Bo Peeps ass for being stupid.
Re the App St - Toledo game ... I believe that the UT coach's strategy was to give his PK a better angle. It was stupid for two reasons: 1) the angle wasn't that bad in the first place, and if he'd been able to kick it from the original LOS, the fact that he kind of sliced it wouldn't have mattered ... but of course hindsight is 20/20 etc. ... but 2) it shouldn't have been an issue in the first place.
You're 4th and 1 deep in the red zone, and while your running game was largely stifled by the App St defense through three quarters, it has been slicing through and exhausting that defense this particular drive. Why the **** do you then choose to put your faith in a placekicker instead of in your offense to get what should have been an easy first down?
I should have been a coach.
EDIT: And I have to say ... that although on the face of them the games today held little interest for me, and I had no dog in any of the fights (other than wanting Toledo win as a MAC fan) ... they have been very entertaining. And the So Miss v UL-Lafayette game is shaping up to be that way too.

I am little annoyed that EWU lost to the Nose.
As much as I hate agreeing with Husker fan on anything, I can't stand to see the Nose succeed in anything. I want him to lose to his kids in checkers. (You know that ****er would totally cheat against his own kid.)

I don't like Bo Peep either. I enjoyed that game though, one of the best catches you'll see.
At least not as much as Montezuma, amirite??
OHare? Gross. Midway is the way to go in/out of Chicago
Not when your meeting is within 3 miles of OHare.
Why? It's like when NFL players skip the Pro Bowl, except these kids don't have any money yet. Unless you're playing for a natty, these games don't matter. All high round NFL prospects would be wise to skip them, unless they take out an insurance policy for millions.
I see that side of it, but I'm old school with this. You're on a team. You have a game. If you're physically able, you play.
The money is far too life-changing these days for guys to have an old school mentality. McCaffrey and Fournette are almost sure fire 1st round picks and would probably have 25-30 touches a piece in their bowl games. Would you risk giving up $7-8m guaranteed (low end 1st round money)?
If you were in the League, would you claim a phantom injury and sit out to protect your body once you'd reached whatever performance bonuses you had in your contract? Or does your team winning matter to you?
