Agree with the basic premise that kids need to get on with their life. It’s beginning to be absurd with some of these players. Obviously in some or many cases money (agents/parents/players with unrealistic hopes) fuel this seemingly never ending train of expanded eligibility.

I just thought ISU showed a lot more gumption on their comeback. Pretty tough to lose on lousy kicking - but they all count. Aggie special teams were not stellar this year.

Monkey off Vigen’s back. I’m sure posters are going g from fire him to “he’s great”. Sort of like the hot seat Dr Pepper commercial.

Illinois State really deserved to win.

I knew they were going to dowler

Yah. Tough to lose a game due to 2 missed kicks especially an extra point.

Can you believe this. I was thinking might go for two - especially to put more pressure on MSU.

almost as stubborn as Hauck?

There are “fire Vigen” posts over on the Bobcat board. These Montana folks take their games quite seriously - and a bit illogically. Look where Vigen has gotten them.

If MSU loses- it’s due to the innumerable number of penalties and mistakes. They are not playing like a confident mature team.

yah. Just a lot of pressure on an inexperienced kicker

I would have gone for it. Of course hindsight.

Gotta love Rittenhouse.

the one thing bobcats aren’t used to are tight games. ISU has that experience. So pressure on MSU more so than Redbirds.

You can tell Rittenhouse has a lot of experience.

What a game.

ISU putting the heat on Lamson. They have the makeup to not panic - gotta wonder if the Bobcats are starting to wonder if they are going to leave the title on the table again.

Dawson over 100 yards. Cats have slight edge in total yards but have the big plays.

Well I guess I was prophetic about scoring fast

Not so fast my friend :-). Illinois State must avoid penalties and other mistakes and milk the clock to have a chance. Don’t think they will panic-too senior of a team, but Montana State does look like the better team. Montana State has the ability to score much more quickly.
