ROCK @ Ferris

[jrshooter]

Great season, SRU. You should be extremely proud.

Great game. SRU congrats on a great season and a good semifinal showing!

Well Slippery Rock exceeded everybody's expectations of them for this game. They made Ferris play catch up for most of the gave and didn't let them get too comfortable.

That’s the kind of game SR1 winners need to have a chance. Rock took advantage of the turnovers and mistakes early, but unfortunately made too many of their own in the second half. They had a legitimate chance to win that game despite not having the same type of top-end athletes, or at least as many of them. Hopefully that gives the next representative, maybe Rock again, confidence that you can play in this game and not just hang in there but have a chance to win.

That was a hell of a game. In the first half the rock dominated.

Congrats to Slippery Rock on a great run. The PSAC should be proud of getting 4 teams into the Regional. Can't wait unti April...

The announcers were mentioning how some of the Ferris players had experience at schools like Michigan, and Rock hung with them the whole way. I know it was a loss, but they represented the region well, better than just about anyone expected they would.

Long and Ramper were really something today.

Great game SRU. It's a damn shame as you out played them for 50 minutes.

Never, ever take points off the board.

Never, ever take points off the board.

It was an automatic first down with a new set of downs, no coach declines that penalty and accepts the 3 points

Great game ROCK!!!! definitely put a scare out there. Great representation of SR1 - Hopefully many more years of success.

Agree 100%. That was the right call there. Frankly, I thought your coaching staff did a tremendous job preparing for that game. The other times I saw Ferris, opposing defenses appeared clueless. That wasn’t the case yesterday. Offensively, they found a few areas that they could exploit and took advantage of it. It’s unfortunate the two pics in the end zone happened, but who could have predicted that?

Good job by The Rock. Got some pride back for our region. Ferris had pretty much humiliated their other playoff opponents, including the defending national champion. I hope our future regional champions can continue to represent us as well.

Yes, absolutely the right call. It is maddening in hindsight that this was the sequence that turned the game. That first drive of the second half was exactly what the Rock needed. To grind away nearly half the third quarter and come away with any points at all is just massive. A touchdown may have just about ended things. Instead, a call you almost never see leads to the game being turned on its head.

Tort was yelling at the TV to run his coveted prevent the whole second half.

Congrats to the Rock and SR1. Sometimes you gotta make people put some respect on your name (or Super Region). They way they played definitely did that. For 50 minutes of that game, they told the rest of D2 to "suck it".
