Disaster for the Bluejays going in.  Awful, awful, awful decision by Furco to pitch that ball.

6 the other way.  Wow.

[Mugsy]

Wow... what a turn around.  Elmhurst in the redzone.  Horrible execution on option play results in 86 yard fumble return for Tommies by DT.

I'm a Nebraska season ticket holder, and that was something Taylor Martinez would do.  Wow.

Extremely poor decision by a Sr. QB.  3 Tommie defenders in the vicinity.  Separation between QB and pitch man was less than 2 yards.  Should have just held it for a -1 yard loss.

That's a game changer.    Furco had been so solid but that was a horrible decision.

Not sure what he was thinking.

Elmhurst is moving the ball very effectively in the first half against a supposedly stout defense.  Just a matter of a key turnover for a TD and then a defensive lapse (which was a concern coming into the game).

Will be interesting to see how they respond.

[Mugsy]

Elmhurst defense needs to keep St. Thomas from scoring with 4 minutes left in the half.  Elmhurst needs to quiet the momentum and get some confidence on defense.  Going into the half with a 21-14 deficit is much easier to overcome than 28-14.

[Titan Q]

It feels like Elmhurst is in huge trouble in this game.  It all turned on that one play.

I'm not optimistic.  Elmhurst's best defense is limiting possessions with their offense. 

[Mugsy]

Big FG attempt by St. Thomas.  Their kicker isn't great.

He misses 33 yard attempt.  I believe they are hitting on just over 50% of FG attempts.  That will hurt them later in playoffs, if they can get past a gusty Elmhurst team.

21-14 at the half.

[Titan Q]

Missed FG by St. Thomas.  Huge for EC!

St. Thomas 21
Elmhurst 14

Half

EC is right there.

Who gets the 2nd half kickoff?

Who gets the 2nd half kickoff?

I think Elmhurst but I missed the start.

[Mugsy]

Who gets the 2nd half kickoff?

Not 100% sure since I joined the telecast 6 minutes into the game.  I believe St. Thomas had the ball first on a long drive that stalled on a key penalty.   That leads me to believe Elmhurst will have ball first in 2nd half.
