I missed the game too - I went to the UNI football Twitter feed looking for a video of the final play. In hindsight I should have known that would be the last place I'd find it.

I have no idea how you spend all day tweeting videos of plays but not tweet one out with that final play. I clearly have a bone to pick with UNI marketing and there is not much they can do at this point to make me happy, but come on guys. Do you ever want to get some attention when something good happens?

But then people might start to get excited and come to the game next weekend and that would be more work so....

Same group that hasn't bothered to name a basketball radio analyst (or at least announce it) when we play a game in 3 days. Again, might generate some interest and get people to tune in.

Side note-JW is fantastic and on his way to a huge job somewhere someday.

Tangent over.

allowing the opponent to complete a 42 yard desperation pass on an untimed down at the end of the game due to us having jumped offside on what should have been the game sealing interception/incompletion is a GOOD thing?
I suppose since we lucked out and it was ruled that the receivers knee was ruled down before he extended the ball across the goal line for what would have been the gamewinner...

Please tell us who is writing that.

No one said that.

You take the win any way you can get it and move on to a game next weekend that now means everything after looking like it would mean nothing three or four weeks ago.

I had the same thought as vball. The previous UNI TD is what won us the game. The last SIU possession is what kept us from losing. And it was 95% of what would have beat us.

I'm biased but I think Theo is the player of the year in the MVFC if it ended today. Certainly the 1st team QB.

He came into the game leading in many categories. Then against SIU … yikes!

Morency, Schnee, Allen, Wolf and McShane are all averaging 15+ per catch this season. That’s wild.

Random note -

Cook tied the UNI and MVFC career record for FGs made yesterday with 64. He came into the game as the active FCS FG leader (Davis from Elon kicked two yesterday to tie Cook).

What was the offensive PI call on the Salukis in the first half that flummoxed both JW Cox and Petey on the radio and the TV guys? They all were sure it was a call on Stefan Black for defensive PI. I was listening to the radio during that part of the game and they had no idea what was called. Rewatching the TV broadcast and same thing - but no video of the beginning of the route.

Also, Dom Williams’ pickup block on the blitzing Saluki (number 10) on Day’s TD pass to Hudson in the first half deserves some love. He saved that play.

only thing I can think of would be if the receiver pushed off the defender when he made his cut earlier in the route. Flummoxed people because it is so rarely called unless it happens shortly before the ball arrives.
either that or it was just a blown call.

first time since 2012 that there have been 3 regular season games in which the UNI defense hasn't been able to record a sack.
(yes, I only noticed this because it meant no free Big Mac this week. )
