Quarterfinal: #7 Maine @ #2 Weber State

[dbackjon]

They Got it right

[Outsider1]

It was a TD and the call was reversed: 14-12 Bears

[Bison56]

Why not go for 2?

Wow

[McNeese72]

Replay official earning his money in this game tonight.

Doc

[BisonFan02]

Go for 2

[steelbison]

This is by FAR the worst game I’ve ever seen officiated. It’s brutal

He missed the XP!! wow!!

[dbackjon]

Wow. Missed XP

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

You have to go for 2 pt. ..then he missed.....

[BisonFan02]

The XP means little....should have went for 2

[Lorne_Malvo]

Weber fans get loud as their kicker is attempting a PAT.

[Prime Power]

Why would you not go for 2?

[POD Knows]

Both these teams suck. The officials suck, the announcers suck. What a joke. Give me either of these guys in the Natty.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Maine needs to give their "D" a break. A couple first downs is a must...

Why would you not go for 2?Because they are clueless.

In a defensive battle it does. Now 2 Maine FG's and Weber needs a TD a 2 pt conversion. A Maine TD and it's 2 possessions.

[No_Skill]

3rd and 1. They should throw a 20 yrd pass

[Schism55]

Why would you not go for 2?
This ^^
What is the downside??

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Why don't the run it on 3rd and short?!?

[Bison56]

Wow how did he hang on to that, oh wow another penalty.

[jsualumnus]

Maine is going to shoot themselves in the foot with these penalties.

[Bison56]

Weber D holds with some help from Maine.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Maine is now in deep crap. They needed a 1st down on that possession.

[katss07]

The FCS sucks because one of these teams will be going to the semis...

NDSU would beat both of these teams we get it. Doesn’t mean they suck.

[Bison56]

Why doesnt Maine run on 3rd and 1?

Wow that official didnt throw the flag on that until after the completion was made. This officiating is horrible at best and criminal at worst.

Idk... Maine's defense is still dominating Weber's offense. Weber can't count on too many more prayers being answered like on their TD.

Somebody posted that both of these teams suck. If Maine and Weber suck then the FCS must be really bad because these are quarterfinalists.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

4th Quarter....Maine..penalties..missed opportunities....

Very much so!!

[Bison56]

Nice series by the Weber D.

[katss07]

Do people just hate defensive football now? Nowadays it seems as though games are “trash” or “suck” when teams aren’t scoring like crazy. Appreciate good defenses.

Weber State and Maine are two of the best in the FCS and would put up a fight with NDSU. At least more of a fight than most teams. And if you think they Suck you’re dead ****ing wrong.

[Schism55]

Maine already with 13 TFL....wild

[UNHWildcat18]

Wtf is wrong with maine, why did they not run the ball with the lead starting at the 33.....

Nope, only thing I dont like in this game is the long delays and the announcers. Way better than a 50 to 40 something score.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Maine starting at their own 5. Huge sequence coming up....

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Field position switching back in favor of Weber St. Maine needs some first downs or they will be in trouble.....

Nailed it

[jsualumnus]

I guess that is why they don’t run on 3rd down??? Both run defenses have been pretty good.

[UNHWildcat18]

Now Maine runs 2 bad running plays in a row, stop the diagonal blocking and running east and west. Just shove the OL forward and run north. Maine’s D doesn’t deserve to lose

[BisonFan02]

If I'm Weber.....I would yank this gimpy QB....gonna have to do something different.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Play calling...hmmmm

[Outsider1]

Still good December football to me.

[Bison56]

Nice pass break up

[Outsider1]

As far as QB goes, don't know if Weber has anyone good enough to back Constantine up and step in at this stage.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

I'm loving this game! I can't help but think Weber is going to pull this out.

[mainejeff]

I guess that Maine doesn’t have a running game. Horrible playcalling in the 2nd half by Maine’s OC.....and Ferguson has been pretty horrible.

[ming01]

These teams are nowhere close to Ndsu

[Bison56]

Shut up and enjoy the game

[BisonFan02]

8 rushing yards for Weber?

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Da Bears "D"!!

[Bison56]

Wow huge penalty

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

They should have reviewed that, eject both players for throwing a punch and let it be 4th down.

[dewey]

8 rushing yards for Weber?

Wow! Great Bears D!

I wish I was watching the game.

Well I thought it would be over but then the Maine kicker missed a long XP after a 15 yard penalty.

Seriously "F" these refs. Their influence on this game is a joke....

[Professor Chaos]

Missed XP won't matter. Weber can't score on this Maine defense without the help of a ton of penalties or another miracle play or two.

[Bisonoline]

Jesus they called an excessive celebration for that. That ref needs to get out more

I've seen that call a couple of times this last week. The stupid goes to the player.

[CappinHard]

Da Bears!!! Hello Seminfinals!!

As Corso would say... Not so fast! Fittingly enough, a flag lead to a missed XP and we could see OT with a TD and XP.

[Prime Power]

20-12. 2:56 to go. Weber getting ball. 2 TO left

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

That should do it!

Da Bears defense might not be '85 good but it's legit!!

They were a talented team but injuries took their toll in 2018. Staggered to a middling 5-5 season. 9-1 and IL champs in 2017.

Holy Cross beat Yale who beat Maine.....just sayin

[Schism55]

Hats off to Maine, D played a helluva game xthumbsupx

[Lorne_Malvo]

So... Weber knows they're down 2 scores right? How do you not throw a few quick end zone shots and kick the FG?

[Daytripper]

Maine has been disrespected on this board and nationally all year. Ranked behind teams they beat and most said they get smoked last week..

I have been ranking them higher than the AGS poll average all season. Every time I ever watched them, I thought they were one of the most complete teams in the nation. I can't wait for the semis. It may be closer than people think.

Does anyone else feel like they know more about the Weber State coaches wife and Maine band than they do about either team? Announcers sucked and refs sucked.

I feel like every team excluding NDSU needs to win at least one game like this on their way to the NC game....hopefully this is the one for Maine because I can’t take another one like that.

I got off work and went to the stadium and got in to watch the second half.

Saw something about his hamstring on here the little bit I saw on here before I went up.

They were really working that hammy early... he was clearly hobbled. Not much mobility and he was shaky. I don't think he ever really recovered. I think you also lost a big O lineman.... and Shaheed (sorry if I have his name wrong) also got dinged up early.

The quarterfinal woes continue for Weber as they drop to 0-4 in the round of 8. For Maine, though, every team that has beaten Weber State in the QF has advanced to the championship game! However, all three have finished runner-up. Marshall in 87, Montana in 08, and James Madison last season.

Unlike Dewey, I was not in a hipster bar, but bouncing from bar to bar in downtown Fargo with kingpin....I was pulling for maine (a place I lived for 7 years)....kingpin unfortunately was pulling for Weber. I wasn’t sure you would do it so I hedged my bets and went for you on the survivor pick (but against you on this meaningless poll pick.). Show the big fluffy next week that you CAAn!

Maine's defense showed the nation something last nite..........and those two big plays they broke on offense took the wind out of Weber, I feel.......

I, too, was a bit skeptical about Maine earlier.....but they won the games they needed to (mainly in conference), and have proved they are a top-10 team after all.

If Maine had an offense.....NDSU would not have a cake walk.

That being said.....they have a couple of big play guys on offense in Edwards and Jefferson. My concern now is the play calling on offense....it was horrible in the 2nd half with the game on the line. Maine won because of D last night....hopefully the offense can get their act together by next weekend and take some of the pressure off the D to make all of the big plays.

That was a defensive battle last night. Neither offense looked good but the defenses probably had a lot to do with that too. Wasn't impressed with either teams special teams or the refs for that matter.
