Tale of two halves for both the defense and Studsrud. We don't win this game without Studsrud in that final quarter and a half. The defense also got stop after stop. NAU got conservative in the second half but still have to give the D full credit, plus they scored the game winning touchdown!

How did we not get a defensive PI on that? I'm pretty shocked but holy crap I'll take it!

That's what I thought too.....on reply though it looked like NAU guy kind of tripped on his own, although couldn't see what happened right before that.

These guys could have gave up down 21 when it looked like they had nothing left. They just dug in and fought back, the guts of Studs was a big key, battered and beaten but wouldn't quit, mercer stepped up huge and our defense again with a big play. Boys earned it, this is a team that deserves to have 11,000+ fans cheering them on for the ENTIRE game! Hell of a game

Team keeps finding ways to pull out wins, Game Day production continues to improve, fans are learning they can be loud on more than 3rd down, students were loud and those who stayed were treated to an excellent comeback and electric atmosphere. That's how you gain fans and keep them. Lots to be happy about tonight

We just left no doubt 

Except the entire first half.

Congrats on the Big Sky Championship but come playoffs other teams are going to get all conservative in the second half and let us get back into the game. We need to play well the entire game. Hope rest will help with injuries.

The offense struggled for much of this game but I can't help but think of how this offense might be if they had that deep threat like Georges. Mercer has really come on late this season but he's still not a major speed threat to stretch defenses. Wanzek and Toivenen are outstanding possession receivers but again, they aren't going to really push teams to stop crowding the line. Give that deep threat, make teams second guess dropping the safety down into the box, and open up that potential of a run lane, or bring the safety down and risk Georges going over the top in man coverage.

Yeah we need a burner.  Complete monster of a day today by Mercer!  Our WR's are good and fortunately they've become really good at going up and getting the ball in traffic.  Which they kind of have too, it's amazing Studs doesn't have more picks because many times the guys are covered and he just puts the ball in a place where our guys have an advantage to go get it.......and they've been really good and going and getting it.  However can't always count on our guys to win those jump balls all day long.  Back shoulder throw is good with this group because we are not going to beat them deep in most instances.
