Kind of like the one that gave up 230+ in one half to a RB last year? :lol:

We got steamrolled in that first quarter and couldn't recover. We had no answer for Flanders. I can stomache the loss as we at least showed some heart and didn't fold like a cheap lawn chair. Best of luck in the chipper!

Yeah your guys could use a "do over." It looked like your guys either figured Sam Houston out or the players adjusted so that you pretty much started shutting Sam Houston's offense down. Meanwhile your offense was able to move the ball throughout; though it wasn't easy and Sam Houston got negative plays to put Montana in bad down/distance situations and disrupt drives. And Sam Houston didn't allow them to run the football like they'd been doing in previous games.

What Sam Houston did that I love to see a team I'm pulling for do is make hay while the sun was shining. Their offense really hummed in the first quarter and they parlayed that into points instead of squandering opportunities. So then when Montana started controlling the game they had plenty of points "in the bank."

Another thing they did that was really clutch is move the ball running the football on that last drive to run out the clock. That was kind of amazing because prior to that in the second half they couldn't move the football. But when they needed to they gutted it out and made first downs. I think there were like 6 minutes left when that drive started.

Also interesting that they went for it on fourth down. They've had a very effective defense all year so you'd think that at midfield under circumstances where they'd had trouble moving the ball the second half they'd punt it and put the game in their defense's hands with Montana going against the wind. Makes me wonder if their defense was tired. And I gotta tell ya, I think that was close. I'll have to watch the play again but I think a Montana guy was just maybe a half step late in getting into the hole and having a shot at Flanders in the backfield. As they say, though: A game of inches.

Pretty spot on analysis. I really liked our chances to stop them, get the ball back, and at least tie it up with 6 minutes left on the clock. No excuses from me, though. It's pretty damn tough to win a game, especially on the road, when you put yourself in that big of a whole, and lose the turnover battle, to boot.

Don't know how well it really reflects on th SLC...SHSU beat every conference opponent by at least 3 touchdowns.

Congrats to Sam Houston, though. At the very least they proved they deserved to be seeded.

They're going to need the luck against NDSU. That D is something else.
