If anyone is watching we're looking pretty good today. Up 20-6 in the third right now. Holley had runs of 65 yards and 67 in the first quarter.

Rankin just went down with what looks like a knee injury. Looks to be in a ton of pain. This team can't buy a break. Our top two qbs, top wr, and possibly now our top rb are all out.

Oh, and Dixon of course. We've got a pretty decent looking offense in street clothes at this point.

I don't think anyone is watching.

I am semi tracking the game and looking at the scoreboard it looks like both teams decided not to play defense in the second half. But that is using espns game tracker so not sure how accurate my assessment is.

I'm watching. Unfortunate injuries continue to plague this team.

Holly just scores again. This should secure the win.

Just do what you got to do, with what you have.

Go Flashes.

Holley is having a day again. 224 and 4 scores on the ground.

It's sad to think how hard to defend our running game would be with Holley and Rankin in the backfield and Dixon running the jet sweep. The way we've played the last two weeks gives me hope for competitive games the rest of the way. We've still got some winnable games on the schedule. Hopefully Rankin is ok.

Wait a minute....who was that team?? It sure didn't look like the 129th ranked team in the country. Congratulations on the win !

I was there...hats off to the students who made the trip- you guys completely owned the place :)

Once again a great effort by Nick Holley & Justin Rankin was fantastic!!! Hope the injury isn't too severe.

Much needed victory, go flashes!!

I would imagine we will be favored to win this Saturday against Miami. Seriously, how bad is the MAC.....don't answer that.

Its that bad, but I still don't see us in a bowl game this year. And that's really not a very tall task.

You're probably right, we would have to do a lot to get into a bowl game. Miami and BG are both really bad. Outside of those two games I think we'll have a hard time finding two more wins. If only we could get that last minute back against Akron...

I am not sure OU is a certain loss. They are beatable.

Yes especially since we have had worse KSU teams beat better OU teams in the recent past.

Also NIU is very winnable as well though it will be a battle.
