You guys have an amazing team. Josh harris is definitely an awesome player. He just never gave up and kept the defense honest almost all the time.
Bruce Gradowski , at times he was off on some crucial drives but hey you can't ask anymore from a first year starter who had alot of record breaking performances. A great end of our season. Yes we had some ups and downs but overall a great display of football. I can only hope our defense gets better next season. I'm not really worried about our offense
I'm little dissappointed but happy with the way the whole season turned out. Again congrats to the falcons.
Good luck on the final and MCB.
Go MAC
I'll second that. Great job by the Falcons today, and Josh Harris in particular. At the end of the 1st half, I thought Toledo had 'em right where they wanted 'em, but BG put together a nearly flawless 2nd half. Good luck Thursday.
I had to run an errand during the game so I didn't see every down. However, I thought the Rockets were on their way to winning after the touchdown before the half. The Falcons looked flat all half and had the feeling that the NIU game was their peak.
145 yards (I think) rushing in the first half by the Rockets was a HUGE concern to me. Our defense would not have held up as well as they did if that would have continued.
I'm glad the Falcons were able to pull their collective heads out of their Buckeye Fans. Great adjustments at the half by the asst coaches.
Great game folks. Gradkowski is going to be a force in this conference. I couldn't judge him because I had never seen him play. I'm a believer now. He was a definite gamer. I haven't seen his stat sheet on the game yet (it was about average, I believe) but he had great poise and showed nice leadership.
Congrats Falcons! I'm looking forward to seeing you guys down at Ford Field next month.
Congrats BG. Toledo gave it their all, but BG proved to be the better team at home.......isn't that the way this series has been going over the last 5 or 6 games?!!
BG has made it over the hump and are a championship caliber team. You guys proved you can win the game when it counts and overcome adversity, coming back from being donw 14-7 at halftime and 17-14 in the 3rd Qtr.
Good luck in the MACC against Miami. I expect you will get the Motor City Bowl bid as well, make the MAC proud in that game.
Harris will be gone next year, but BG really does have a young team and Omar Jacobs is expected to be a great player. I look forward to another great West Division race between the Rockets and the Falcons next year!
Congrats Flacons! Excellent game. While I would have preferred a different outcome, we couldn't have asked for a more exciting contest.
Any word on why the MCB didn't offer an invitation?
congrats falcons..
what a great game! Everything that a title game should be about...
Good look this Thursday at the Doyt
Congrats to the Rockettes as well. That was as tough a game as we've had at home in awhile.
I guess the second half showed that having an exceptional senior QB can give you a clear edge when it counts.
I'm certain Mad Kow will lead the Rockettes to great heights in the future. :)

That, and sticking with a zone defense that isn't working without making adjustments is a really bad idea.
Gotta give props to the rockettes...a championship team simply refuses to lose to the bitter end. Gradkowski will be the next star QB in the MAC although I was surprised with his relatively quiet game. I was impressed with his running ability. He's a gamer! And I am not looking forward to seeing him against BG 2 more times!
This was a slugfest to the end...the way a great rivalry should be.
I fully expect UT to be in the hunt again next yr....as well as BG. Both are relatively young teams. UT wasn't gonna give up their West title without a fight...and it showed.
GO FALCONS!!!! BEAT MIAMI!!!
Congrats to BG. Harris was the difference. Hope you get the bowl you deserve. I wonder if UT will ever win a game on grass.
