28-0!! Well I hope some members of the selection committee are watching this game. I don't know what team could look more like a playoff team than us the last three weeks (assuming we continue to hold this game up like this)

Yeah it makes me nervous having to give Smith so many carries with Oliviera out.....maybe Norberg should be getting those carries. Not sure if I totally trust Smith at RB.

I agree...I'll only feel comfortable if/when we are up 3 scores with 4 minutes left. Keep it going boys!!

That drive right there is the epidemy of what Bubba is building this offense to be.....perfect drive!! Was even better than an 80 yard Santiago run as it chewed clock.

No turnovers.....just keep playing clean football and executing on offense like this and we'll be good!

That was huge!!

Looks like a North Dakota class B playoff football game from the 80's being televised.

I am nervous! But that fumble helped....and if we score a TD here that will help too!

Are we using this as the game thread?

Yeah that sucked.......I mean what were the odds they would win their game today.......not very good!

Just popped in to check scores again quick, man seems like not much is going our way again in the other games. We may win and still be out......ugh

Just think, we could have a horse with a Roughrider on it's back.....charging out to lead the team out on to the field with guns blazing. Oh wait, the vote is already over

Can't remember, but wasn't Liberty a bubble team.....which then hurts us? Nevermind, looks like Liberty's record is 6-5 so they wouldn't be ahead of us.

Wow......way too young, couldn't believe it. My condolences to his family.

We've all been frustrated from time to time this year, it has been an up and down year. But yeah there are a couple posters who have made some pretty harsh posts like the ones above. It's funny how some posters only come on here after we've had a bad game and lost, and like to bash the coaches, players and program. But they never seem to show up and post after a good game and we've won. It's like they sit and lurk until we have a bad game and things look down, then they are all about posting stuff......but not after a win. I can't remember the one guy who said a few weeks ago that he sees us only winning 53 games over the next 10 years, which is the one I think you are referring to about the 6 wins is the ceiling. I was so wishing there was a way to bet him on that, i would have taken that bet in a minute.

I wonder if Sweeney may have coined a new phrase, on one of the touchdown highlights on a long TD run he said....."So long Santiago!" Since I'm usually watching and not listening to the radio broadcast, I'm not sure if that is the first time he said it or not.

I hear ya, I'm real glad they took him out and some others later, but it would have been fun to see what he could have done in a full 4 quarter game with the offense going all out the whole time. Likely would have been a 300 yard game for him. That kid alone is worth the price of admission. Of course he can't do it alone though, some great blocking by the line....and Studs with some nice passing is opening things up. This....is....fun.

I agree. The point I was making on my post was we don't need Montana to lose this week, we just need PSU to beat EWU, which to me seems like a pretty good chance they would, but you just never know. If PSU wins and we win, we are at worst the 4th team in the Big Sky and I would think would have a very good shot at the playoffs. Still sucks thinking of what could have been if we would have held on for just one of those games against Weber or ISU.

^this

I must be missing something here, but even if Montana wins.....wouldn't we still be the 4th team in the Big Sky and have a good shot at making it? 1. PSU (after beating EWU) 2. Winner of SUU/NAU - loser of that game is out 3. Montana (if beat MSU) 4. UND (if beat Cal Poly) So if the above happens it would seem we'd only need 4 teams from the Big Sky to get in, but maybe I'm missing something?

Would be nice to keep them out of the end zone these last few minutes, would like to keep this score as lopsided as possible when the playoff committee is looking at things.

lol it's nice to not have to worry about that today!

We need to get Studs out, and Santiago, and some other key players.

How is the crowd today? If we are up 35-0 at half.....if there was lots of students, I wouldn't be able to blame them for leaving at halftime with a huge lead. Although it's senior day.....so should really stay and support the team. Plus who the heck wouldn't want to watch Santiago some more! With this lead though, I wonder if we limit his carries in the second half.

The best he has looked all year in the passing game....great to see!
