Nt Wins 51-40

[chrisfisher]

Dodge sounds extremely emotional.... not that it is a bad thing...

[Bryan316]

I take it all back.... I was sitting their listening..and Jazz music started playing for a while... my bad...

I was wondering as well, but I think they have music/in-house ads where normal stations have product commercials.

When the team piled on Tobe in the end zone (after the score)........it looked like Todge jumped into the pile, as well.

I am definitely taping this game on Channel 21.

I'm taping it and possibly putting it in a gold frame.

What a rollercoaster.

I was excited by our win but just sickened by our play at times – anyone else feel the same way?

How can you bring up anything negative after their remarkable perfomance tonight. This was a big win for the program. I almost cried during the postgame interview with our great coach. We will probly look back at this win for many years.

[PerryG2480]

Agreed. I don't buy this "football gods" crap at all. Someone had to make a play at the 1 yard line with the game on the line. This time around, the MEAN GREEN made a play.

I totally agree with you, when you are 0-8 and get your first win of the year on defensive play, in the area where we have struggled for so long. There is no way you can complain about being sickened by our play. Great win, I am very proud of our guys for this win and the big time play of the defense on the last 2 posessions of the game.

Mark today on your calendar ladies and gentlemen. Something fundamentally changed today. It's the anti-Tulsa game.

[Smitty]

To me, the most encouraging thing tonight is the mental toughness the team showed in the second half. Seeing a 17-point lead evaporate in the third quarter had to be demoralizing considering the everything that has happened this year. To rally in the fourth quarter says a lot for the team. Congratulations, guys.

One thing that I picked up on in the postgame interviews. George asked DeLoach if Todd Dodge was a good coach and he said that he was. I have been afraid that there was a little friction there but it could have been caused by neither (offense or defense) being successful.

DeLoach said that the entire defense has been installed but that it's not natural for them yet. So, maybe things will improve. They still gave up too many big plays but they played so hard, especially at the end, and that really paid off.

I don't remember the offensive stats but they were spotty. Vizza didn't have a very good night but he came through, sespecially on the pass to Fitzgerald, so maybe that'll pump him for next game.

The special teams still aren't special, especially on coverage. I believe that a missed field goal turned this into a nailbiter but our kicking game was far superior to theirs. I still think that they should have squibbed the last kickoff in order to prevent a big return. The kick returns, with the exception of the fumble, were much improved.

This was a great win and got the monkey off of their back. I'm hopeful for next week as well.

[Got5onIt]

Nice win. I'm sure a big weight has been pulled of the shoulders of the team. This team played tough and surprisingly had a good 2nd half. Let's hope this boosts them into next weeks game.

Congratulations to the players and coaches on a great win!

[Censored by Laurie]

Whoa...reign in the jubilation

Underrated post of the night.

[Ibleedgreen]

I've been watching the game....kudos big time to Vizza, Stickler, and my adopt-a-player and fellow Vernon Lion, Darien Williams! GMG!!!

[chrisfisher]

Vizza didn't have a very good night but he came through, sespecially on the pass to Fitzgerald, so maybe that'll pump him for next game.

You may be surprised by the numbers, but Vizza had FANTASTIC night.... 62% (23-37) completion rate with 4 TDs and 1 interception. He also rushed for 34 yards and 1 touch down. That, my friend, is some offensive output. Great win tonight! That was a tough WKU team that played some ranked teams pretty decently.

Bryan, kind of pushing your luck with the obam crap on your signature aren't you?? Admins asked tht not to be on the board.

DeLoach’s endorsement of Dodge was the most interesting thing about tonight. I’ve been sitting on the fence about Dodge reserving judgment until next year. However, when DeLoach speaks it hard not to listen.

Might wanna tap the brakes there; he couldn't really hit as receiver in the 3rd quarter.

Yeah, they only lost by 14 to Virginia Tech (ranked #20 at the time), lost by 21 to Ball State (maybe ranked 25 at the time). They were blown out 41-7 by then 11th ranked Alabama, but that's no real disgrace, as well as Bama has been doing since.

Congrats to the team on the win. I only was able to listen to the first half, so outside of SUMG calling me after the game to give me a recap of the last 2 minutes, I know virtually nothing. I am however, cautiously optimistic though. I will be interested to see how well we do the rest of the season.
