MU 51, Center 35. Congratulations MU on your win. Prayers for your continued success on your journey to Stagg Bowl. And Centre, congratulations on your season. Thank you for the ride for the last four seasons. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything in the world. Lastly, #44 Colin Burnam (Centre), much love and respect. #SAA #ProudParent #d3fb

Congrats, Berry, on a great season. UMHB is pretty good. We've been there, though, so keep fighting. See you down the road.

But give up 28 points it did, and to a team playing their second-string QB.

Jesus, dude, go get defensive somewhere else.  So tired of people hiding behind an alias looking for reasons to get their nose bent out of shape even when they win handily.

Doesn't sound defensive to me. He is just stating facts. It just happens you don't like them. I'm so tired of people not wanting to see reality. I doubt that any Mount fan has his nose bent out of shape. Mount won. Second and third strings played the entire 2nd half. They were terrible. Those are facts. Facts. No one hiding behind an alias. No one being defensive. Seems the only one having a problem is you. Have fun in your world. Mount moves on. Go Raiders!

if they had first qb could have been 100 to 14

Thanks,  I knew it would be a difficult matchup today, but I didn't expect 75 points.  WOW.   

Berry was on its heels all game.  Started with bad field position and they never got it back.  You can't give a good team short fields and we did it all game.

It is time to get some rest, celebrate another conference championship, send the seniors off and then get started on next step.

Go Vikings.

Well, it was a great season.  I didn't think we could be as good as last season, the graduation losses were very impactful, but we honestly very little drop off.  Great to win  the conference again, great to make it to the 2nd round.  Coach K has this thing rolling.  No doubt that we have arrived and are here to stay in our conference and general region.

That being said, Saturday's game was brutal.  No real positives at all.  You gotta crawl before you walk and our program is only 6 years old.  Against the nation's elite, we have still have much maturing as a program to get done.  The goals still ahead are to make it to the third round and to be competitive with the elite teams.

Best of luck to the remaining teams.

As a parent that has been around Berry's program from day 1, I'm proud of the way the program has grown. Saturday's game was brutal, but I expect UMHB to play for the NC in a few weeks. They are an elite program and Berry isn't there yet, but there are teams that have been playing a lot longer than Berry that haven't been to the 1st or 2nd round at all, so I'm grateful the program has gotten to experience playing  in the playoffs. It wasn't a good showing on Saturday, but in the end, it was a very successful season and one the players, coaches and Berry College can be proud of.

And other people, like myself, are rooting for you as well. Congrats on a good season. 250 teams in Dlll and you made it to "The Sweet 16". Something to be proud of and to build on.
Mount Union played their first game in 1893. Didn't make the playoffs until 1985. You beat the hell out of that happening. Good luck next year and Go Vikings! 😃 🏈

Congrats to Berry on a solid season, as many others have said it is a testament to the program you guys are building that you are already a 2nd round team.

Thought some of you might be interested to see the post game press conference.

Hey Berry just has to keep the steamroller moving,your doing something right! Good attitude, winning mindset, good recruiting what 6 years and your in the second round? Not bad.. not bad at all! Keep it up Vikes!

I don't know if there were no real positives.  I saw some fire in the guys late in the game,  they were able to make some plays against the 2nd/3rd guys.  So I think we are showing progress.  This was an extremely difficult match-up, I thought there were a few teams in other brackets where Berry matched up better.  This was just the draw that was given.  And to be honest, this is probably the draw that's going to happen several times in the future.  I just see the D3 bracket continuing to go through Belton for many years to come.

Berry gained valuable experience for its young players.  The seniors have 3 conference rings, very few players will be able to make that claim regardless of the level.

[HookEmVikes]

I would say the real positive out of Saturday was it gave the younger guys another week of practice and another week of big time game experience that can't be simulated in practice. Berry is young. Lots of freshman and sophomores currently in the 2 deep rotation. They just got 2 weeks of extra practice and 2 extra games that 220 other teams wish they had just from a development standpoint. It wasn't pretty on Saturday, but as Coach k said in the post game interview, hopefully the team can take some things away from the lopsided loss and get better.

I expect the SAA to be a real shootout next year.

Centre is consistent, year after year. Berry has those 3 rings. But, my eye is on Trinity. I think that Coach Urban finally has his program going the way that he wants it.

I hope this is true. This will really help the playoff pairings.

Berry will need to improve their secondary next season.  They had some teams, especially late in the year get plenty of yards on the soft coverage they played this past year. 

Losing a senior QB isn't going to be easy either, but all the receivers will have a year's experience, so that will help the next QB.
