All that matters
Yes it was ugly, yes hope was lost, yes we almost gave it away. In the end we are the National Champions! My oh my.
How about two blocked kicks?!?

Re: All that matters
The players bailed out the coaches. I love Vigen, but just like last year, he didn't bring his A game today.

Re: All that matters
I don’t necessarily think that. The offsides has been an issue all year and I feel bad that JT basically had the yips tonight. That first half was a clinic on how to win and ISU put on a clinic in making adjustments. They literally are a much much improved version of Mercyhurst and stuck to their dink and dunk game plan.Travelingcat wrote: ↑Mon Jan 05, 2026 10:16 pmThe players bailed out the coaches.

The best part really is that Taco Treat can do Taco Tuesday on an actual Tuesday!

Re: All that matters
Initial game an for 1st half was great. Needed to at least try to run ball more than 1x in a row.Travelingcat wrote: ↑Mon Jan 05, 2026 10:16 pmThe players bailed out the coaches. I love Vigen, but just like last year, he didn't bring his A game today.

Re: All that matters
Taco played great, but Steel's touchdown was the best football play of the game hands down. Crazy to watch that replay in slow motion.

Re: All that matters
If someone told you before the game that Jones and Davis would combine for 10 total carries, we’d barely crack 100yds rushing as a team and we’d have 9 false starts, would think we’d end the night as National Champs?
Absolutely epic win. It didn’t go down quite as I expected, but 2025 National Champions is all that matters.

Re: All that matters
It's hard to decide which was the best play of the game between Steel, the Taco run and the Taco game winner. The low lights were low but the highlights were amazing!
Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

Re: All that matters
I think best play was the blocked FG. It will live on like the Robert's INT.coloradocat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 06, 2026 11:13 amIt's hard to decide which was the best play of the game between Steel, the Taco run and the Taco game winner. The low lights were low but the highlights were amazing!

If Seth would have run it back all the way, he might might have kept running till he got to Oklahoma State, or at least Utah.kmax wrote: ↑Tue Jan 06, 2026 11:28 amTHIS!!!

Hard to do that when we had a five yard penalty on virtually every second and short.tetoncat wrote: ↑Mon Jan 05, 2026 10:32 pmInitial game an for 1st half was great.

Re: All that matters
We were rolling on offense. I'm sure they tried to adjust the cadence but coaches can't walk out there and make them not false start. Eventually guys just have to get it right.

Re: All that matters
I’m convinced that the isu defensive front was barking like Yale and causing false starts from our o-line

Especially after the 4th Q snap that flew over Lamson's head because he actually wasn't calling the snap yetBobcat Sig wrote: ↑Tue Jan 06, 2026 12:59 pmI’m convinced that the isu defensive front was barking like Yale and causing false starts from our o-line

I know our boys were sloppy in some respects this year, but to be that bad for that many snaps? It doesn’t math.

Re: All that matters
Happened all playoffs and feels like it needs to be addressed because that just never happens to any team. Did the entire line get the yips?SonomaCat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 06, 2026 12:29 pmHard to do that when we had a five yard penalty on virtually every second and short.tetoncat wrote: ↑Mon Jan 05, 2026 10:32 pmInitial game an for 1st half was great.
