Treasonfruit pull it out in OT. Toledo should've gone for the win in regulation, when they had first and goal with over a minute left, instead of playing conservative and going for OT, then throwing it up on the first play over overtime and getting it picked off in the endzone.
"Credit Kevin Kelly, who built the program from nothing. They really struggled to win a game before he took over." Someone should send the Marist guys the link to DFW's football history page...
EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention that Syracuse actually missed the extra point on their last touchdown and should have lost in regulation. The replay official (from the Big East...) looked at footage of the XP and ruled it good when it obviously was not. Ridiculous.

Guys, I'm almost afraid to say it, but this could be an actual good team we have here if you just jinxed this team, i will slash your tires. Jokes on you, I don't even have a car!

Who says we can't move up in football? I watched the stream today and these guys looked pretty good. Get the facilities and we will be even better.

It's nice to see improvement, but these wins have been over three pretty darn weak teams. Davidson and Marist are both pretty miserable even in the worst conference in the FCS, and Lafayette's fans have been incredibly pessimistic about their chances of winning more than a couple of games this year.

The OL today averaged 311 lbs and the team had 279 yards rushing. The OC is starting to realise that with an OL that size you run the ball and use that to set up the pass. And, run the ball straight ahead. We averaged 6.1 yds a carry today. I have not looked at the rosters of the other PL teams but we must be close to having the biggest OL in the league. I only wish we would put the QB under center once in awhile to mix things up.

Weak competition or not, impressive win for the Hoyas. I like the fact that we are putting up points.
Next week is crucial. For us to be taken seriously in the Patriot League, we must beat Bucknell. Big game.
EDIT: Bucknell's actually not bad this year - 3-1 on the season after a 34-9 drubbing of Princeton. To compare, they beat Marist 28-14 in Week 2. Seems on paper like a pretty evenly matched game.

while the next game: a league game vs a much improved Bucknell is huge, other than or very nice 3 -1 record it feels very different than last year. We have 2 big wins over Davidson and Marist which were both tight games last year and we shut Lafayette down this year and did not have to win a shoot out. If we tighten up our pass defense (our db's are not getting "beat" they just need to play the ball better), seems like we gamble on pics back there instead of making sure the play is broken up we could have a lot of fun @ Bucknell!

Congrats to the Hoyas on a solid win, and let's build on that momentum next Saturday at Bucknell!
