SWT/ Northern Iowa... D-IAA Semis on ESPN2

[big daddy russ]

Couldn't go to the game tonight. Forgot I had a final, so I'm watching it on TV.

UNI scores on a bomb... 7-0.

[big daddy russ]

It's getting ugly. Sanders to Cutright, TD UNI. 13-0, xp pending.

[big daddy russ]

XP good.

UNI 14
TSU 0

[OnceABucJr]

just a "little" pass defense would help!

[big daddy russ]

TSU's back in the game. That huge WR is hoss.

14-7.

[OnceABucJr]

Something is really wrong with TS' pass (lack-of) defense!!!

What was that? Say it one more time, maybe the TSU secondary will hear it this time.

70-yard pass makes it 20-7 xp pending.

[big daddy russ]

45-someodd-yard pass from Nealy to.... well to #17.

TSU 14
UNIch 20 (missed that xp)

Anyone know how much total offense these two teams have put up already? It's only a couple of minutes into the second quarter.

[OnceABucJr]

UNI trying to learn TSU's pass defense?

[espn1]

Score??????

[Adidas410s]

Texas State 24 UNI 23...key play on the drive is Chase Wasson throwing a reverse pass back to Nealy for about a 25 yard gain.

[OnceABucJr]

That is amazing!

[Pmoney]

how much time is left?

[big daddy russ]

Both teams must have recruited their secondaries from France. They can't seem to resist any sort of attack.

TSU 30
UNI 29

TD bomb from Nealy puts the Cats up by one. 2-pt conversion fails.

About 8 mins left in the third.

[espn1]

Score??????

[Buccaneer]

37-29

[espn1]

Is that a final?

[Buccaneer]

4:55 left

[KTJ]

Barrick is a stud.

[Buccaneer]

1:39 left UNI has the ball at TXST 2

[Buccaneer]

TD for UNI 37-35

[Buccaneer]

37-37

[Buccaneer]

1:27 left TXST has all 3 timeouts left

[OnceABucJr]

If TSU can somehow pull this off, do you think the team they would play next week in the championship game might consider passing against TSU??????????

[Buccaneer]

TXST returns kickoff to ther own 25

[Buccaneer]

Unbelievable TXST takes a knee.

[Buccaneer]

OT

[KTJ]

Wow. Why would you do that?

[big daddy russ]

I still don't understand why coaches do that, especially when you have the MO on your side.

With three timeouts left, I would've let Nealy pick UNI apart.

The MO is gone.

[BreckTxLonghorn]

Who takes a knee at home when you've got a QB like TX State does and three timeouts?

I'm rooting for the home team, but c'mon, junior high coaches wouldn't do that.

[Buccaneer]

40 -37 UNI

[big daddy russ]

Well, UNI strikes first in OT, but at least TSU held 'em to a FG.

40-37

[Buccaneer]

Final UNI Wins on an interception!

[big daddy russ]

That's what you get for being a wuss. Nealy's pressured on three straight plays, UNI picks him.

UNI wins even though they were dominated in the second half.


40-37 Final

[tortilla_man]

you can blame the loss on the coach!

[OnceABucJr]

That was one of the strangest endings (decision) I have seen in a long time! Oh well, now they won't have to face that passing attack that was coming next week?

[etbu]

Texas State Coach GOAT''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''':thinking : :thinking: :thinking: :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:

[PhiI C]

A strange game. Why wouldn't Texas State at least try running plays if he was conservative? Who knows maybe your back would break loose and get you in field goal range and you have a good field goal kicker. Oh well I was wondering why they didn't kick one point instead of going for 2 earlier. The Coach has done a great job there but he sure messed up tonight.

[etbu]

He staying home now. :hairpunk:
