Very disappointed in the Oline play tonight in particular but it is what it is and they better get focused on a good CMU team up next.

So frustrating, you love these kids, you’re pulling for everyone of them to just explode and have a great play/game. Something needs to push through, so close to happening.

This is the kinda season where you look back and you can pick out a handful of plays that could have swung the win loss record by 3-4 games. It reminds of 06 or 07 where we just could not put it together

It reminds of 06 or 07 where we just could not put it together To be fair, we could have easily lost the first two MAC games. The record seems pretty accurate to how we are playing.

It must be too cold to throw a pass more than 5 yards. We only had 70 yards to go. That would have taken 14 plays to score.

I’m hoping we can at least get 2 more wins. That probably wouldn’t win the west, but it would be a major improvement.

Well way back when I thought two of our maybe 3-4 wins would come over CMU and Kent so thats still plausible although CMU is better than we originally thought they were

Damn. Came back and had the lead late but ultimately had no D. They ran all over us. Elson has no clue how to stop the option. And then the oline was terrible when we needed to go back and finish. And of course we throw well short of the sticks.
I love the fight of the team and we’re improved but I’m saying we don’t win again. The defense has been terrible the last two games vs good offenses. Cmu and Kent are really good offenses. We won’t beat either of them and Miami just has Neus number. I can’t see getting to 6 wins and that’s painful when you’re at 4 with 5 to play. We are collapsing just as we did in 17. It’s a major bummer.
Bellamy is damned good. But I like our guys too. Hopefully Huntley isn’t out long. We’re close but just not there yet. Next year we will be really good. Still need to improve in the trenches and at linebacker though. And need Plitt to play at a higher level on a consistent basis. He’s good but not great.

We needed to hold them from scoring a touchdown for 3 minutes and 25 seconds. We were only capable of 2:19

We aren’t physical Enough. We don’t tackle. Size and strength continues to be an issue on the line. We can’t bring pressure.

I had a nightmare last night on how the defense gave up a 3rd and freaking 17. That is inexcusable. I also do not understand why they didn't put some extra help on the line with the DE from WMU after the 43 time he caused some problems. It was a tough game and they fought back so I don't want to only focus on negatives. Ball State's run game was on point last night. Western's back is on another level. There were plenty of times where he went lateral and then broke it outside because the defense wasn't quick enough. I'm guessing he's able to do that a lot in the MAC.
I instituted a rule a few years ago how I would not lose sleep or gym time over a sporting event because I usually end up pissed off and tired the next morning. Broke that rule last night.

I have/violated that same rule! Today is not off to a good start.
