30-7 at half. Ott really had 2 plays the entire first half. The deep pass to their TE - wide open because Gabe Brown left him to take off for the QB run. Yes, gabe got back and made tackle at 3 - but dude! The QB was 35 yards up field from you. He was being pulled down from behind by Mihochi (I think) and if he got away - he had Charlie Dear, Roninson and a DB right there. Question for Gabe Brown - What were you rthinking?

The second play was a legit run by Steppe. Up the middle - Mount had their D tackles wide, LBs behind them, and no one over the center. Odd formation. Other than that, OTT didn't do anything in the first half.

Mounts O really sputtered in 2nd qtr. No it wasn't OTTs D stopping them - penalties, and Fulford giving - yes giving (as in gift wrapped with a bow) 2 sacks. I don't understand why Fulford rolled left, ran forward to LOS, then retreated and rolled out, then stood there and took a loss of 10. He was dinged up late 2nd - wonder if we see Poorman with first team O in 3rd.

Terry Bowden [the other one] and his Zips just handed Coach Lance's Bulls their 6th loss, 21-20.

Ouch.  Losing to Akron in anything other than soccer is not a good look.

[Craft_Beermeister]

Weird 1st half.  Only 173 yards of offense but 4 TD's.  Otterbein keeps gift wrapping great field position for Mount.  Ugly defensive drive to end the half.  Not thrilled with the sacks either.

c

Ott has 81 total yards at half but gets 77 yards on their last drive of the half.

What a sloppy game. Mount played bad. Period. Sloppy on O, penalites (10 - 100) personal fouls (2). The D was the savior of the day - with the exception of 2 plays. I am sure right now VK (who also got a penalty!) is not happy. Practice come Monday is gonna suck.

On the good note: sloppy game, no consistency, lots of penalities and still a 51-14 victory. The stats are misleading as Mount had ridiculously short fields most of the day. Oh well, next up Musky.

Oh and Etta over ONU. Didn't see that one coming.

[Desertraider]

Oh - and a trick play by Mount, inside the 10 - throw back to a lineman Major backfire in that it was fumbled and returned 15 by Ott. Headscratcher.

The answer is probably something stupid - like just two years ago or so - but when was the last time neither the WIAC nor the OAC had two teams in the 32-team playoff field?

If I understand, you are correct, it was 'or so' years ago. 2014 MUC 2, WIAC 1

Sometimes I think it's just guys trying to make a a great play even if it's not there. Sometimes qbs want to add the unlikely but spectacular play to the highlight reel instead of just throwing it away or running for a two yard gain.

Well he did it twice and cost 20+ yards - both times killed drives.

BIG WIN for Matt Campbell, Tom Manning and crew! Iowa State 14 - TCU 7. Great game.

Yeah I was in no way endorsing it, I was just proposing a possible explanation

[HScoach]

Way to go Cyclones!  Huge win for Iowa State.
