On Bison board.... "Calm down everyone. Our DEs are getting held on every pass play. We will still win."

LMAO!

47 yard FG attempt upcoming for Elon with 3:15 to go.

FG attempt is short. Towson takes over with 3 minutes to go. Elon up 27 to 24.

Towson up to their own 41 first down....2:31 to go

Towson down 3 with the ball, 3:00 to play.

Towson down to Elon's 32 yard line....make that down to 18 yard line with 2 minutes to go.

Towson down to the 9 yard line.

Towson 3rd and 1ish from Elon 10 yard line with 1:29 to go. Towson down by 3.

4th down

1:25 to go. Tie game

I hope Towson loses now. Rob Ambrose is such a wimp. 4th and 1 on the road vs a top team and you kick a FG. You're 3-5, good grief.

Elon, Towson all tied at 27 with 1:20 left, Elon ball.

Longtime football doctrine - ALWAYS take the points. I agree with Ambrose's decision.

Bison pull within a FG against SDSU, early Q3.

Under normal circumstances I would too, but you're 3-5 with nothing else to play for. Just go for the win and make your season.

Of course it now looks like they may get a second chance at it.

Elon punts and it was a bad punt...off side of foot. Towson gets ball on own 43 with :42.

Elon intercepts with :33 to go. near mid field

Well there goes that. INT Elon.

A lot of very smart people long before any of us determined long ago, "Always take the points."

I have remembered that saying and, over the years, watching teams not obey it, get killed.
