That is all great and all, Austin. But we will need a miracle to pull a W out next week. I guess I just don't think we need miracles to be competitive vs conference opponents. I am starting to be reminded of the Dodge era very fast.

I understand your frustration. There were points during the game where it felt like we should have put it away rather than having to rely on a last minute FG. I do hope the team will really study film this week and see what they need to work on to improve for next week. USM has a bye this week, so it will be interesting to see what they do with that preparation time. Regardless though, I am happy with our ability to put up points, but disappointed in this secondary.

Also Kelvin Smith was our leading receiver.

We need to feed him. He's a damn good player.

Kelvin was impressive tonight.  Glad we used him as a receiver; and he makes a damn good run blocker too.

The need to scramble to a last minute win and all the points given up in the last quarter was very frustrating and a real concern.

But Dodge comparisons are silly. Dodge would have found ways to lose.
