I don't understand that KSU drive at all. But thanks for that.

That was a beautiful pick 6. Our zone still sucks but he read that perfectly and just enough pressure to force qb to throw

Unbelievable. But that sets up losing on the walk off field goal that someone mentioned.

I hate watching Dave Aranda's teams play, but they never ... ever ... give up.

There is something to be said for that.

They were basically already in field goal range and could have chewed up over two minutes of clock without getting another first down.

Just a crazy stupid decision.

But what a play by Redding. That dude is developing into a playmaker.

It was the right call. If we had failed, go for it again. If we didnt fail (Now), we go ahead. I liked that call

It really is terrible. The game has been close, our record isn't great but it's not 1-4. You'd think it would still be decent in the 4th of a close game
