I click on that link, first thing that happens is my anti-virus pops up. "Threat detected...Trojan downloader/NKE Trojan", and it then blocks me from access to that page...which is probably for the best.

Kent State looks awful. Can't believe this is only a 7 point game.

It is kind of going as expected, really. We expected tough defense, and we are seeing that. We expected that the offense would start a little slow, and get better, and we are seeing that, too. I think Ohio starts to open it up starting about midway in the third.

Would not surprise me to see Sprague begin 2d half.

Four fumbles!!! Hard to win games with that many turnovers, especially in KSU territory. Unbelievable.

Wow, this game should be 28 or more to 7. How many times can we fumble it away and still win?

Well, we escaped. Time to teach those RB's how to hold on to the ball. Take the Tiki Barber approach. Get then to put their hand over the tip of the ball. Worked for Tiki.

Great win.  I feel like maybe there was some aspect of the second half that was not perfect, one particular phase of the game that could use improvement.  Ha.  Still though, great win.  Good play on both offense and defense.

Wait. Isn't it true that if you lose four turnovers, it is "Unacceptable!!!"

Seriously, I was proud of how the team did not get down after turnover after turnover. They kept fighting as a team, both on offense and on defense. This game will pay dividends down the road. This team grew up a lot tonight. They aren't young anymore.

Yazdani can kick it.  He just can.

Overall, okay (save for the fumbles, of course) given our youth at key spots.

O-line--pretty good show.  Vick very solid.  L. Smith played well.

Defense did well enough given the stress of the four fumbles.  But why don't we cover short routes tighter, espec when their running game isn't going.  Need better pass pressure and/or a d-lineman or two to stand out as playmaker(s).

Worst part of the fumbles is we don't build a lead so our back-up qb spot got no time today.  Must get playing time for the back-ups.

Revisionist history says this should have been a blowout.  Reality is +1 in points gets you the W.  Let's fix some "stuff" and kick some Wildcat tail.
