One more thing, Mak Sexton has the best arm strength in the whole entire region. Fact.

Geez! All this "what if-ism." The key is that every week they have to get better. If we win all is good.
I think the team is showing character and resiliency. They have another big challenge, maybe a bigger challenge, coming this Saturday.
Portraying 2 endzone interceptions against a potent balanced offense as a bad thing? C'mon.
If you want to discuss what if's then from what I could see on my computer screen was that the interference call on IUP at the back of the endzone was not interference (though I can understand why it was called that way). Also, the SRU receiver clearly fumbled and was recovered by IUP but that wasn't called. Upon watching the replay, it's hard to say he didn't have possession.
None of that matters. On to Cal U.
( I will note that the SRU offense is very explosive but they seem to have a problem closing the deal on their drives. They had the same problem the previous week against SHU.)

The luck didn't just go their way yesterday. It's now been 3 of the four games that Sexton has thrown the ball to the other team and they haven't held on. That luck will run out at some point. Also, a QB throwing past the line isn't luck, that's a mental error vs physical error.
This team visually isn't one of the best. If it wasn't for the luck of the drop INTs and Duane Brown constantly bailing Sexton out on all those contested catches this team could be 2-2 or even 1-3. I haven't even discussed the constantly miscommunication is the secondary!
SRU's first dropped pick ... dude would have walked in to the endzone. Major bullet avoided there.
Changing gears, the decision to not kick the chip shot FG and go up 10-0 was very interesting. Add to it running it up the gut twice in a row was also interesting.

Don’t you think every QB and every team that is any good at some point benefits from luck?
In 2017, IUP loses to Assumption if that QB wasn’t over the line of scrimmage when he throws it. Hell, that same team beat Clarion by one that year. I remember another year at Clarion in early 2000s when IUP won because the clarion kicker missed an XP in overtime.
It went in IUP’s favor yesterday. Sometimes the breaks go your way and sometimes they don’t. If slippery rock had made its two XPs yesterday, that game may have turned out different.

I mean three blocks punts was the difference of IUP being 7-3 instead of 9-1 last year

No, you just don’t get it! I don’t care how many good throws he made in the second half. If the STU linebackers hold on to those two balls, it’s a far different game. Same goes for the Hurst game last week. He continuously makes stupid throws and it WILL comeback to haunt them! The luck will run out! This IUP team could easily be 2-2. I’m making a legit assessment, not the Homer version like you!

Dear IUP Foosball Team,
Put the win over The Fighting Gym Teachers inbthe past. You must focus on one thing…ending the Adamson Curse. Just make sure you defend any punts!

He had some interesting perspectives on the game.
I much preferred it when George was HC.
He always made games interesting.
Despite his IUP given nickname of Dr. Evil, George is good guy.
In a lot of ways, I wish he was involved in IUP athletics but that will never happen.

Eight points difference on the scoreboard. You can play the what if game forever. It was a competitive game between two good teams and one was a little better than the other. These are likely both playoff teams so maybe there will be a rematch.
