      The fumbles at or near the goal line were devastating. 14-point swing just before halftime. Credit to MSU for making a valiant effort and coming close to potentially tying the game in the last minute.

        Laker, Witt, et. al, Morningside goes back-to-back Chippers. 40-38 over Marian.

          I was watching on the computer. Wild back and forth but MC had the advantage of having a small cushion. Congrats!

            The shoulder/nerve injury Gunn seemed to be dealing with most of the playoffs (hurried off the field twice against Commerce holding same area) was likely a contributing factor to his sudden fumble issues. At least 3 of the fumbles that I could see clearly enough were being held in the same arm he was favoring. The fumbles were overcome in the earlier games but were too much against a QB who was absolutely on fire.

            West Florida was a buzzsaw at the end of the year. The QB was outstanding, best QB all year. That was a good team and they deserved the victory. As hard as it was to watch due to the outcome, it was a pretty entertaining game. Congrats to the Argos. Finally, thank you seniors, for all the fun memories over the years. Some of the all time greats just played their last games.

              Yes, their QB was almost inhumanly accurate, especially in the first half.
              Agree that Gunn's injury may well have been a contributing factor in the fumbles near the goal line.
              We could not utilize our running game to full advantage due to being behind by a few TD's in the second half; obviously one of our strengths.
              Disappointing of course. But to play in a national championship game again was a great experience. Proud of the team and program.

                Yeah, UWF's MO was to create chaos, and one the ways is to attack, attack, attack, and if successful it will make opponents change the way they've played traditionally played or bring the clock into the equation. That's the chaos the Argos brought to the playoffs this year.

                Mavs have a good, consistent program -- you all will be back, and hopefully we'll meet again!

                  There is way more to this than can be said. I know you're not doing so, but anything Gunn gave you the last few games should be a credit to him, not an opportunity to pass blame. If people knew the truth they'd love the guy even more.

                      You guys have had a very different 2 championship experiencing. First one you get sit out against an elite defense and in the second you score 40 and lose to an offense on fire.

                            Correct, that was a large turning point. The other one was MSU fumbling right at the goal line late in the half, and West Florida throwing deep on the first play and scoring right before half. 14-point swing.
