The Mules cash in after getting an interception. Another scoring grab for Smith to extend the lead to 17-7.

On the one hand, if you would have told me earlier this week that UNK would only trail by 10 at halftime, I would have gladly taken it. On the other, I feel like the Lopers have played pretty well overall while the Mules have been a little off, so to still be down two scores is slightly deflating.

That's game. The Lopers needed to be near perfect to keep it close but weren't. They did manage to win the time of possession battle and were almost even in total yards. But UCM got touchdowns after all 3 Davis interceptions, and Heins missed both field goal attempts for the Lopers. The Mules were also a combined 10-17 on 3rd and 4th down while the Lopers were 9-20.

I will never understand why this couldn't have worked out with TJ Davis? Give him stuff he can do and play to his strengths. To throw away this year by thinking you have to just run your stuff makes no sense to me? They did run more option which was good to see but he really struggles with the throws he is asked to make and they have forced him to stay in the pocket this year. It is like they don't know how to use him? It has been sad to see.

Mainly, I feel bad that someone talked him into staying at UNK. He's a possible nfl caliber natural athlete at some position, and I hope he doesn't miss his chance to get noticed because he is out of his element.

Sounds kind of familiar...
Ok but Held has been a head coach at the D2 and JUCO levels before...this is not "rookie mistakes". To me, he's more bull-headed and not wanting to adapt.
