They played tough for all 60 minutes last weekend, when it would have been easy to check out after the half. I was much more critical of the Mules on this message board last year after the opposite result.
FWIW - I reviewed the TD in question, and my vantage point from the first row of the bleachers was clearly distorted... Bowdoin was in fact in Cover 0, but had a double-team on Nye outside, leaving no 2nd level defenders in the middle. Bowdoin only brought 3 as one DE dropped. More of a questionable defensive call, leaving the whole middle of the field wide open in that situation.
Ok - that's too much analysis for one play, was just among my favorite of the night!
It is discourse like this that makes NESCAC football so engaging to follow and talk about. Congratulations to you and the mules, looking forward to next year's matchup!
