Any chance Army will need to punt today?

This is just terrible. Faked out on a punt.

This coaching staff is Pop Warner. WTF is the special teams coach thinking? He's been made to look like a fool twice now!

We have the ath-a-letes, they have the brains and the coaching.

They can't stop us! Our defense just has to be bad, not horrendously sucky and we win.

You and I disagree.

EMU running game per se won't get it done.

EMU's offense is best when the opponent is clueless as to what is coming next. I'm not sure that WYO was prepared for Roback. Seemed they did not get what they expected.

It will be better when Bell is back and CC has the option of whom to start and whom to play. Make the opponent plan for BOTH.

Steve, get our guys in space (Vann, Jackson) they cannot stop us! We just need some defensive stops or God forbid, a turnover.

I think we can still win this thing because athletically, we can overcome our coaching shortcomings. I really believe this.

Disagree. McCaslin is an incompetent. EMU’s inability to field a competitive run defense really stunts the growth of the program.

Why are you letting Roback determine your fate? He is probably the highest rated QB to enter the MAC, which makes him a bigger bust than Ryan Leaf--relatively speaking.

Just an awful football team. But then we knew that. However, the step back is really disappointing.

I think it is the realization that the coaching staff is not DI material. They are bush league. No more wins for this team.

I live a mile from the Drake campus, this crap will work fine in the Pioneer League...not at this level.

Disagree. Less than two years is no where enough to make judgment on a coaching staff especially at a school like EMU.

The offense has made strides and the special teams have been alright. They do look better in that area.

However, that defense looks every bit as bad as it was last year.

Damn shame. So much more talented...a whole quarter to win this though.

Special teams alright? What are you smoking?

Can we PLEASE just keep running the ball? They. Can't. F***ing. Stop. US.

Down 6. Good thing Army kinda sucks. Jackson goes untouched into the end zone. He's been such a stud this year.

We need to start over with a DI coaching staff. I'm embarrassed.

The defense is bad. That is clear. But the offense looks much better. I really don’t understand why you calling for a new staff less than two years in. That makes absolutely no sense considering EMU’s history.

If NIU followed your logic they’d have fired Novak. It took him four years to get his first winning season.
