Round 2 -- NCAA Playoffs West Fla @ Valdosta State

[Rational Observer]

That was bad officiating all around. The officials didn't blow the play dead, but they called a dead ball foul on VSU. UWF had what should have been an illegal motion on the play.

[West Florida]

2 unsportsmanlike conduct penalties already against Valdosta. The second coming after a big touchdown by West Florida. Great game so far.

[Rational Observer]

VSU has four penalities for 53 yards.

[Rational Observer]

Five for 58.

[West Florida]

Haha, the commentators just said they think Valdosta is cursed. In case anyone forgot, the Blazers haven't lost since 2017.

[Rational Observer]

Interception for the Blazers.

[Rational Observer]

UWF is making some good open field tackles.

[Rational Observer]

That's two turnovers not turned into points.

[West Florida]

Wooooow. It should be 17-7 West Florida. Remember that one. That was an easy pick 6. That drop was a game-changer.

[Rational Observer]

UWF TD. 17-7 UWF. 12 seconds remaining in the half.

[West Florida]

We've got a ballgame, folks! 17-7 The University of West Florida!!! Touchdown with 12 seconds left before halftime.

[Rational Observer]

17-7 UWF at the half. VSU gets the ball to open the second half.

UWF just has to keep doing what it is doing.

Offensively, VSU has to get the running game going. UWF is playing deep and keeping everything in front of them. If VSU can make them play the run, they may be able to hit some deep balls.

Defensively, VSU has gotten two turnovers; so, it's hard to point a finger at them, but they are going to have to stop the UWF run game.

[Argonut]

Argos playing road playoff Argoball.

[blaze83]

Worst half of ball I've seen in many years. To many folks standing around with hands on the hips. Preparation looks a little suspect.

[West Florida]

VSU could absolutely come back and win this game, but that first half was not a fluke. The score could honestly be worse. 2 huge opportunities blown by the Argos. So much football left to be played. Obviously this thing is far from over. I'd even go as far as to say the next team to score wins this game. Whoever does win this game is going to represent the GSC very well. This feels like a battle between a couple of D2 top 5 teams.
