Had some strong points today but couldn't sustain it through 4 quarters. Still a huge improvement over last year's matchup - hopefully we can build on it.

Lots of fight in the squad against very good Mankato team.
So many little things.
1. Bad start to give Kato a TD right away.
2. Then long pass down 14-0
3. Didn't give up ! actually ahead 17-14 - crazy
4. But then --- bad TD given up at end of half --- no time left
5. 99 yard drive given up - ridiculous
6. then blocked punt - like 4 this year -- how can we keep doing that ?
7. then another bad snap for 25 yard loss !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is like 6 or 7 straight games - crazy that keeps happening.
regardless much to be pleased about
Marcus Martin has a good arm and pretty good pocket presence for a freshman. lots to be happy about
we will beat Augie !

That INT we had was cool. Lots of production through the air.
I won't count them out against Augie. If we tighten up on defense, it's possible.

If that's the team we're capable of being, then there's much to be excited about.
I also need to highlight that punt towards the end of the 3rd I believe it was - beautiful chip shot to the sideline and downed at the one. One the best punts I've ever seen.

No need to transfer. they will make each other better.
most teams need 2 good qbs. They get hurt and both would play. Look at the league and all the qbs who get hurt it happens.
hope they both return

Both are from California so they have no local ties, and I doubt many from the SW would like to sit on the bench in the Midwest cold watching someone else play. That's just my opinion though, and hopefully it's wrong.

So you just assume they both don't think they will start? Why would they leave if they think they are going to start? You think the coaches will make that decision this December? I would think both of them are confident in their abilities to be the starter

2. If they both think they can start, why would one stay and ride the bench? It's highly unlikely we run a two QB system.
3. Probably not, but with the transfer portal - guys can leave at virtually any point.
4. Hence why I think the other will transfer.
To clarify, I don't want either to leave, but the reality of the situation presents itself to me as being a likely possibility that one does.Last edited by SW_Mustang; 11-12-2022, 02:33 AM.

I can say with certainty that McComb is the only person in history to pass up Princeton and Columbia for SMSU, athletically and/or academically. I don't know him personally, but that tells me he wants something pretty specific out of his SMSU experience.

Well, that was a fun season. I'm hoping we can build on this going forward. We won twice as many games as we were supposed too, and were competitive in several others.
I think at 4-7, we can say this season was a success in some regard.
I think it's a longshot, but both Onte Burns and Jesse Sherwood have expressed interest in playing on - so I wish them both the best in their endeavors.
