You're kidding right?????? Most beautiful win in 30 damn years!!!!!

You know better. The game was exciting, I'm glad we finally beat a B10 football team and we're now 2-0 and the defense played solid for most of the game. But lets see cheap shot stupid penalties, dropped passes, a snap over our QB head that may have cost us a TD, blocked FG and a lack of running game. We may be 2-0 but sometimes its better to be lucky than good. I saw regression not clean up of our mistakes after the Charlotte game a performance CC called "disappointing". And we won because Rutgers is just as bad on the basics of good football execution and made their mistakes at critical junctures in the game. As they say timing is everything.To say we're a sound football football team at this point isn't true, overall we make too many mistakes and so far we're gotten away with them because we have a great QB and a solid defense. If we don't truly improve in the areas I mentioned it will catch up with us. I want a bowl game and a bowl game win. We need to play better then I've seen in the first two games to get there. A win EMU fans should all celebrate yes indeed! But don't make the mistake of thinking we're a better team than we are. Lets hope the bye week gives pause for reflection and we play a better executed game against Ohio U, one free of the mistakes I saw ont he field today.

You're preaching to the choir. Just enjoy the moment 79. This program has sucked for a very long time.

True, and I've lived with it longer than you, I'm not interested in returning to those days. By the way the coaching staff gets a kick in the pants on time management especially the first half but an A on Roback pooch punting move. Maybe he should be the regular punter.

Honestly, and seriously.........I would let Brogan kick the rest of the year.

It really puts the defense in a bind. Put your punt return team on the field with somebody deep for return, and you really open yourself up to a 4th down conversion, 11 against 10, with our full offense and starting QB still on the field. Play your regular defense and Roback can easily average 40+ net per punt this year.

Great strategy.
