We didn't capitalize on UTSA's penalty on both players wearing #13. It would have been the new MTSU "12th Man" joke

Let's beat those Miners

Hat's off to the Roadrunner Band!

Bad coaching ( or inept guy back there making the decision to catch or run away from the punt). The failure to catch punts was evident in the first game vs JSU ( I know it was drizzling some), and I was furious about it then. Its been going on to varying degrees all season long. We must get this fixed for next season.

we got two receiver ...one catch the ball and the other doesnt like to catch it .
the rex receiver is better at it ..

He faced 2 yards, not 2 inches!

we are not talking about a 3 , 2 or 1 yard ,,,,it was 4 inches ...one third of the ball

Yes, but even Stallings, being super conservative and a defensive minded coach to boot, went for it at his own 39, facing a 4th and 2. He went on to win a National Championship 2 years later. A true A&M Aggie, but he sent his girls to Abilene Christian.
