How does the E8 coach of the year not have his players ready for a NCAA playoff game?

I know you guys suck on the road but its the playoffs.  I still cant get over the way their first quarter played out.  KO return for TD, 2  INT's, 1 fumble and a turnover on downs...

Thanks Upstate and JU.  Much appreciated.    

Tags...I think the fact that SJF went to MUC mast year is very underrated.  They've lined up against MUC.  They've played in MU Stadium.  Add in the fact that it was a playoff game last year as well and I think they will have an easier time focusing on the task at hand if it happens again this year.  But both teams have another hurdle to clear before then I suppose.  

Can anyone that was at the IC game say if there was a small crowd?  I'm guessing the OSU-UM game hurt the attendance.  At least for the home side...

ya, but remember we had 3 fumbles in the red zone, and  the kid from 'Bart almost took it to the house on the opening kickoff too... 'Wick just isn't good enough to overcome mistakes... or just isn't good enough, period - which is kind of where I'm leaning.

NOTE: sorry if I seem like I'm dogging ya Upstate, I just know we better damn well make sure our house is in order soon - we'll be in rough shape if we're pulling that ish in Alliance.

That's what I was trying to articulate in regards to that - the awe of playing the machine, in their own back yard won't be there - it'll just be about playing the game. Always better to have a little experience under your belt, especially playing MUC!

eh, I'm really not that worried about Curry for some reason. I was way  more worried about Hobart, they are a tough squad.

eh, I'm really not that worried about Curry for some reason.

The fact that they got 5 sacks and picked off Boltus 5 times today vs Hartwick raises a few concerns...

Did they blitz alot or was it just their front 4?  Were the INTs the result of pressure?

They pose an interesting challenge.  SJF can be over looking them knowing what awaits in the Regional Finals....

after what happened at Hartwick, there's no way the guys will be over looking Curry. They'll come in ready for a battle.

It is however, OK for us to do so

EDIT: also, many of our questions will be addressed in the report the remaining hartwick fans should be submitting to Pep tomorrow. We should have answers soon.

Ive never been to a game there so I wouldnt know for sure.  But the entire MUC side was full and the other side was probably 60% full.
