Week 9 Chat

This is 100% true, but it also seems NSU draws a better crowd with the 6 pm starts than the 1 pm starts. Maybe that is just because the later starts have historically been early season games with nicer weather. Hopefully there is another big crowd tomorrow night.

With no kids today or their activities, I decided to make a last minute decision and I'm heading up to Aberdeen for the playoff elimination game between Northern and Moorhead. Looking forward to it. As a board brother here, say hey if you see me. Dress warm-enough.

Usf can't stop that triple option. Yes those three dudes are good, but Minot is 2-5. Like to see more from the coo

Kinda surprised and frankly impressed that SMSU hasn't thrown an INT this game, so far.

Not sure who would think the 'Cats have the Mavs number. Mankato is 15-2 all-time against Wayne State, 7-1 in Wayne. 'Cats last win was in 2022.

Add 35-20 to those numbers.
It’s Wayne’s World, Wayne’s World. Party time. Excellent.

I am shocked. Cats did control the game though from the start

Looked like zimmy21 nailed it with the trap game. Mavs looked sluggish and Wayne took control. They owned the LOS today.

Ah, shoot! I’d love to but unfortunately I will be watching on the NSIC Network from out of town this weekend.

Zimmy the prophet warned of this outcome...He threw the bones on the ground and read this loss

This is a strange mathematical observation (and nothing more) - but SMSU has scored more points on Augie today than their last four meetings combined.

Based on stats alone - it looks like Crowton stepped it up. 398 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs. Obviously have to credit the WRs here too.

Completion % is a bit concerning - but given he was also sacked 4 times, I have to imagine the OL hasn't done many favors. Maybe someone that watched the game can comment here.

Regardless - I really appreciate him stepping up today in what was a lost season early on.

Mustangs throwing plenty of long passes and completing them!

I can only assume Augie played a ton of guys and probably played an incredibly vanilla defense today.

What a win for Wayne State today. This conference, man, it's one big WWE brawl sometimes, just beating each other up.

Exciting stuff! His accuracy was always a concern. Seems like he'd get a WR open and overthrow him by 5 yards, so it's cool that he played as well as he did.

Yeah - definitely. Given how much we've struggled I'm glad to see him step up and make the effort though.
