2021 Fall Playoffs Round 2: Kennesaw State @ #7 East Tennessee State

[ksu_owls]

Doubtful Owl band is there unless NCAA rules require Home Team to allow/accommodate such. ETSU would not allow Mercer’s full band to come and would not allow the Spirit Band to bring their instruments into the Stadium.
I believe they just played our fight song after the INT?

[Milktruck74]

i could see this being 0-0 at half and 31-28 at the end...

[FUBeAR]

If the Owls didn’t pick that ball off then blah blah

Now do we see how crazy hypothetical situations are? Hoping Murphy can find a grove and doesn’t make any dumb passes
LOL - Not many peeps basing any hypotheticals upon 50/50 deep shots early in the 2nd quarter of a scoreless game.

[ksu_owls]

i could see this being 0-0 at half and 31-28 at the end...

True. Our defense hasn’t had to play 4Q all year and this is why I hate that.

[ElCid]

ETSU allowing very little on the ground. Sure KSU can pass, but they aren't nearly as good being forced to pass. But likewise ETSU not getting a huge amount on the ground, but they are getting more YPR when they do.

[ElCid]

The band is RIDICULOUSLY LOUD on the broadcast. Can barely hear Announcers. Ambient mics need to be turned down or reduced in volume level.

Band sounds GREAT, but it’s ruining the broadcast.

Eh, I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it. I got sound on as well. I got JMU game on mute.

[ElCid]

First blood. TD Bucs.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

The Bucs strike!

[wcugrad95]

That Holmes kid is pretty good. They keep saying it, but there is only 1 SR on ETSU’s offense.

[JSUSoutherner]

These announcers are worthless. If I have to listen to them continue to pretend Powder Springs is in the middle of nowhere I might scream.

[CobbFC09]

Felt it was just a matter of time before ETSU broke through and did something. Riddell has had a clean pocket all day.

[ksu_owls]

First blood. TD Bucs.
We’ll learn a lot about this game with how Murphy and the offense responds. 0-7 Bucs with 7:25 left in the first half.

[FUBeAR]

Eh, I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it. I got sound on as well. I got JMU game on mute.
Same w/JMU on mute…but band(s) are WAY TOO LOUD for broadcast - peep on FU board said Owl band is there. Must be an NCAA requirement … or ETSU was just more skeered of Mercer’s band.

[ETSUfan1]

KSUs band is here. In tears

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

Carrot Top to pass and it is pass complete to Sherlock Holmes who takes it into the end zone for six! TOUCHDOWN BUCCANEERS! The kick by Keltner is up and it is GOOOOOOOOOD!

ETSU 7, Kennesaw State 0 7:25 2nd

[ElCid]

These announcers are worthless. If I have to listen to them continue to pretend Powder Springs is in the middle of nowhere I might scream.

Where?:D

[CobbFC09]

Any word from broadcast on Xavier Shepherd? I saw him getting ankle taped but that's it.

[SeattleCat]

What happened to KSU's starting QB, I missed it and I see the backup in now.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Owls respond!

[ElCid]

Wow, that was busted coverage big time.

[BurialGround]

Nice response by KSU!!

[ksu_owls]

A passing TD for the Owls back up QB

Hope we can hold the Bucs. I’m still down -9.5 to FUBeAR

[wcugrad95]

Maybe 31-28 in the 2nd quarter???

[JSUSoutherner]

I had a lot of good things to say about ETSUs defense.

Until that drive.

[Milktruck74]

Well it's not going to be 0-0 at the half, but the 31-28 final is absolutely still in play.

FuBear 16.5

Ksu_Owls 7

[ksu_owls]

Maybe 31-28 in the 2nd quarter???
Haha, you were on the right track… bound to bust loose at some point. Hope we can keep getting big plays because our ground and pound ain’t working

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

And just like that, Kennesaw State knots it up at 7 apiece. Saylors corks off an insane KO return.

[FUBeAR]

Saylors got nailed in the quad on that KOR - hope he’s OK - Bucs need 1-2 punch

[ElCid]

ETSU adjustment has been to pass to their best runner, Holmes. Too funny, but its working.

[ksu_owls]

This is a big drive. ETSU gets the ball at the half.

[CobbFC09]

What happened to KSU's starting QB, I missed it and I see the backup in now.
Left foot/ankle got landed on and he slowly walked off the field. Was on training table and ankle got taped but that's all I know. Was hoping the broadcast had more info but seems they're in the same boat.

[ksu_owls]

Whoever you are KSU has a good defense

[Milktruck74]

ETSU adjustment has been to pass to their best runner, Holmes. Too funny, but its working.

This is not really a new wrinkle, they have done this through the entire season. He has great hands and getting the ball in his hands however you can!!!!

[ksu_owls]

7-10
(7-19.5)

Bucs with 3:27 left in the first half.

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

Keltner kicks a 48 yd FG

ETSU 10, Kennesaw State 7 3:21 2nd

[wcugrad95]

Maybe it is just me, but KSU’s backup QB looks better and significantly faster than their starting QB.

[ksu_owls]

Can’t wear #15 here and not catch the ball

[SeattleCat]

Left foot/ankle got landed on and he slowly walked off the field. Was on training table and ankle got taped but that's all I know. Was hoping the broadcast had more info but seems they're in the same boat.
Your backup looks great.

[ksu_owls]

Maybe it is just me, but KSU’s backup QB looks better and significantly faster than their starting QB.

Murphy was the starter until X overtook him. Both great QBs, X just fits our offense better from the eyes of the coaches. No complaints with Murphy in there! He’s easily more rested just less game tested.

[Milktruck74]

I've net seen 74 in for the Bucs in a while...Owls OL is starting to win that battle on the LOS....31 is already cramping...

[ElCid]

Your backup looks great.

Don't think he is as confident though.

[BurialGround]

Maybe it is just me, but KSU’s backup QB looks better and significantly faster than their starting QB.

He's much quicker than the starter, but the starter runs the option better and has a more accurate arm (not as much zip on his throws, but he's more accurate). However, this backup gave Wofford absolute fits in 2019.

[SeattleCat]

ETSU is figuring out what they need to do to stop the option, owls need to go to the air.

[ksu_owls]

I believe we just had our largest gain from a pitch?

[SeattleCat]

well, that was not a good idea.

[ksu_owls]

I believe we just had our largest gain from a pitch?

I believe we just coughed it up EFFFF

[SeattleCat]

I believe we just had our largest gain from a pitch?

well they don't have the ball now.

[ElCid]

Wow, stops the score and they get the ball to start second half. Possibly a big swing here.

[Milktruck74]

Momentum!

[CobbFC09]

Nothing worse than a redzone turnover going into the half knowing ETSU gets the ball to start the 3rd quarter. Yikes.

[wcugrad95]

Kinda surprised Sanders didn’t take a shot there.

[SeattleCat]

ETSU is a lot better than I would have given them credit before this game.

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

ETSU forces a fumble deep in their territory and runs out the clock.

ETSU 10, Kennesaw State 7 Halftime

[ksu_owls]

Great half! Terrible turnover but defense has been great. Not feeling great about my bet with FUBeAR but think we still have what it takes to win it straight up!

[Milktruck74]

Holmes has 100 yards in the first half.

[SeattleCat]

For sure, but it's not like your conference is the MVFC

[CobbFC09]

Great game so far! Other than the turnover, Murphy is moving the ball pretty well. Anyone's game here in the second half.

[wcugrad95]

I certainly am impressed with KSU’s D, but they keep talking about and showing stats that they are #1 in all these categories in the Big South. I would hope an 11-1 team is the best in that league. The SoCon has been getting a lot of bad mouthing, but I’d say ETSU and UTC are at least as good defensively, and ETSU plays against much better offenses over the past 8 or 9 weeks. This is 2 good football teams, but conference stats are always pretty misleading.

I still expect a big play and/or TO or mistake to be the difference in this game.

[ElCid]

Holmes is a beast.

[ksu_owls]

If I was ETSU, I would simply give the ball to #1 always lol

[ETSUfan1]

17-7

[wcugrad95]

Wow - Holmes!!!

[Milktruck74]

THat was ALLLLLLL Holmes!!!

[CobbFC09]

Quay Holmes, my goodness.

[ksu_owls]

Down 19.5 to FUBeAR…. Not over yet

[ETSUfan1]

For sure, but it's not like your conference is the MVFC

Right, but we’re playing a Big South team.

[Milktruck74]

Down 19.5 to FUBeAR…. Not over yet

I'm looking forward to seeing FuBear's creativiy.

[wcugrad95]

FUbeAR is waiting - he has played enough football to not talk too early.

[CobbFC09]

Down 19.5 to FUBeAR…. Not over yet
Can't say I'm overly optimistic the Owls will cover your bet, but let's hope they find a way to.

[Chalupa Batman]

I'm looking forward to seeing FuBear's creativiy.

Is a profile gif possible? The one he posted earlier would be a good one.

[Milktruck74]

99 actually. To be accurate:D

Well 150 now...and he will probably have 250 when its over.

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

Carrot Top to handoff to Sherlock Holmes who takes it the 30 25 20 15 10 5 4 3 2 1 GIVE HIM SIX! TOUCHDOWN BUCCANEERS!

The kick by Keltner is up and it is GOOOOOOOOOD!

ETSU 17, Kennesaw State 7 11:40 3rd

[SeattleCat]

Right, but we’re playing a Big South team.
Well not trying to bag on you guys, I'm very impressed with your team. I think you guys will give the Bizon a helluva game, that's a tough draw being in their bracket.

[ElCid]

I'm looking forward to seeing FuBear's creativiy.

Well I am as well, but its not as if any of the KSU fans even show up until the playoffs and then they disappear until next November So nobody will see it.:D

[Milktruck74]

Still havent seen Dorsey. Buc's DL is doing OK, but they were much better when he was pushing everything back.

[caribbeanhen]

The ETSU RBs name is Holmes, he might put up 200 yards

I loved the little bow at the end

[BearDownMU]

For sure, but it's not like your conference is the MVFC

This comment makes me want to punch a baby.

[ksu_owls]

At least we’re responding! Gota figure out that #1 guy and we might be okay. Easier said than done lol

[BurialGround]

And.... it's a game again. 17-14.

[wcugrad95]

I haven’t played football since 1991, but pretty sure I could have thrown both of KSU’s passing TDs. What is ETSU’s safety doing???

[CobbFC09]

Let's go!!! Another wide-open TD for the Owls. This game just keeps on delivering. Time for a stop.

[ksu_owls]

I haven’t played football since 1991, but pretty sure I could have thrown both of KSU’s passing TDs. What is ETSU’s safety doing???
Probably respecting the run…. Crazy how that works

[ksu_owls]

ETSU’s defense isn’t doing much. Huge 3 and out for the Owls defense!

[wcugrad95]

Why would #1 not be involved in that drive???

[CobbFC09]

Great stop and great field position. Time to capitalize.

[ksu_owls]

Big difference in the deep ball between X and Murph. Only happens like twice a game, but still.

[wcugrad95]

These announcers are horrific. Sad for such a good game.

[ksu_owls]

Does ETSU ever see the TO?

[ElCid]

Does ETSU ever see the TO?

Are you kidding?

[ksu_owls]

Owls take the lead, 21-17 with 1:05 left in the 3Q.

- - - Updated - - -


Are you kidding?
Yes lol

[BurialGround]

KSU in front for the first time, helluva drive!! 21-17.

[CobbFC09]

Quite the turn of events. First lead of the game for the Owls!

[ksu_owls]

Defense can’t let up here

[Milktruck74]

Are the wheels coming off the bus?

[CobbFC09]

What a dominant quarter down in the trenches for the Owls.

[ElCid]

Are the wheels coming off the bus?

Big momentum shift for sure. ETSU needs to firm up this series to take it back.

[wcugrad95]

ETSU can’t abandon the run after Holmes started heating up. Not sure what the heck that “drive” was???

[ksu_owls]

ETSU could hand the ball to #1 every play and easily win. They don’t look too hot outside of him. Crazy he isn’t involved more!

[CobbFC09]

Up four going into the fourth quarter! Can't ask for much more as an Owls fan.

[ksu_owls]

Up four going into the fourth quarter! Can't ask for much more as an Owls fan.
I’m asking for at least 5.5 more

[Milktruck74]

Big momentum shift for sure. ETSU needs to firm up this series to take it back.


I've watched enough Mountain Pirate football this season to know it's really never over....they just keep chopping and usually score with 34 seconds left to take the lead and win

[BurialGround]

ETSU could hand the ball to #1 every play and easily win. They don’t look too hot outside of him. Crazy he isn’t involved more!

Yeah, it feels like they were hitting the panic button, and there's no reason for that. A big KSU drive here would be huge. After that, they might be forced to pass, and then we'll be in really good shape.

[Milktruck74]

I’m asking for at least 5.5 more


Hahahahha.

[BurialGround]

Also, one of the big differences in this game has been the punter. KSU's has been booming them back every time he's been called on, ETSU's keeps giving the Owls good field position. In a game like this, that's huge.

Defensive matchups are usually won with field position. Maybe the kid is having a bad day but I’m surprised they don’t have a better punter.

[CobbFC09]

Murphy making the pass game a viable option.

[ksu_owls]

ETSU’s defense is not that great

- - - Updated - - -

FUBeAR, you’re down 1.5. Plenty of game left!

[CobbFC09]

I’m asking for at least 5.5 more
Ask, and ye shall receive

[Milktruck74]

Well....it's not looking good for Fubear

[wcugrad95]

Heckuva game - KSU looks better with this guy at QB. ETSU typically comes back and makes this close at the end, but I am impressed with both squads. If ETSU doesn’t get the ball to Holmes 5 or 6 times this coming drive things might look bad for FUBeAR’s avatar 😀

[BurialGround]

ETSU’s defense is not that great

They're exhausted. They've been on the field too long, and KSU is alternatively spreading the field and pounding them up the middle to great effect. This is becoming very much like JSU 2017. It's looking like you might win that bet after all.

28-17 Owls. Can the Bucs get back into this?

[wcugrad95]

And not really sure why ETSU doesn’t put different guys in the receiving position for those kickoffs.

[ElCid]

ETSU trying to force it to Holmes, not working.

[wcugrad95]

Run the dang ball, Bert (or in this case, Randy).

[CobbFC09]

Another great defensive stand. What a difference a half makes. Owls have been up in the backfield nearly every play it seems.

[ksu_owls]

ETSU won the SoCon, right? Like they were the best team??

[Milktruck74]

ETSU Defense is completely different since 74 went out. That kid was causing havoc and owning the LOS by himself. HE goes out and KSU starts to push the middle..and run their TO.

[BurialGround]

Another 3 and out for ETSU. KSU could drive the dagger in on this drive. Huge turn of events in the second half.

[JacksFan40]

ETSU won the SoCon, right? Like they were the best team??
Same as Davidson being the PFL champions.

[CobbFC09]

More Murphy magic on third down!

[Milktruck74]

I'm headed to the car!!! That'll probably start the ETSU comeback.

[FUBeAR]

ETSU could hand the ball to #1 every play and easily win. Crazy he isn’t involved more!
As FUBeAR has said all year. After Riddell’s last game, thought Sanders had proved me wrong…but FUBeAR was right.

How many carries has Holmes had after his TD?

[ksu_owls]

ETSU had two weeks to prep but they look like they played 4Qs yesterday

[ksu_owls]

As FUBeAR has said all year. After Riddell’s last game, thought Sanders had proved me wrong…but FUBeAR was right.

At least we still have our friendly wager in play. Our defense doesn’t like to work hard when they feel the game is over.

[BurialGround]

ETSU's only got 5 minutes to make their comeback magic happen, down 2 TDs. 31-17 Owls.

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

Calling all NDSU fans, you selling tickets to the bandwagon next week? For it looks like I may have to buy some. Also looks like I'm heading to Crow-Fil-A.

[Pards Rule]

ETSU's only got 5 minutes to make their comeback magic happen, down 2 TDs. 31-17 Owls.


The Owl is calling!!

[ksu_owls]

No need to eat crow to me. My only effort has been to highlight that many people overlook us because we play in the only conference not as bad at the PFL. KSU is legit. Our defense is probably the best that ETSU has seen this season. We’ll see what’s up next week and probably won’t be this fun lol so I’ll enjoy this one!

[Bison56]

Does ETSU have an O-line?

[ksu_owls]

FUBeAR takes the lead!! Looking like your avatar is safe!

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

ETSU scored a late TD to make it 31-24 with 1:28 to go courtesy of the Carrot Top TD pass to Will Hustle.

[Bison56]

Wow

[ksu_owls]

Incredible play! Hope our defense didn’t untie their shoes yet!

[wcugrad95]

The Bucs do this... all the time.

[ElCid]

That was ridiculous. Can't believe they got the OS kick.

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

ETSU recovers an onside kick at the Kennesaw State 48 #What

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Wow! Here we go!

[CobbFC09]

What a turn of events, wow.

[BurialGround]

ETSU got the onside kick, maybe they'll have that magic after all! DAMN

[Chalupa Batman]

This ending is going to be crazy!!

[ElCid]

If ETSU somehow wins this, it would be epic.

[ksu_owls]

What a game come on Owls!!

[ElCid]

6 inches would have tied it wow.

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

And two passes later, ETSU is on the Kennesaw 9

[CobbFC09]

I'm headed to the car!!! That'll probably start the ETSU comeback.
Wishing I had left with you. This isn't fun to watch.

[ksu_owls]

We would have lost by 20 if they threw the ball to that guy and let #1 run every other play. At this point the Bucs have been out coached but I guess that doesn’t matter until the final.

[wcugrad95]

Agree - give it to #1 the last 3 plays!!!

[ElCid]

This game is too much. Give it to Holmes.

[Chalupa Batman]

Bucs try and run the ball at least once, right?

[ElCid]

OMG! All tied! if they make the kick!!

[ksu_owls]

Going for 2 DAAAYYUUMMM LETS GOOOO DEFENSE

[ElCid]

Safe to say FuBear won his bet.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Wow! Going for 2!

[Milktruck74]

I like going for it...they are worn out.

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

AND CARROT TOP HITS SHERLOCK HOLMES FOR A ETSU TOUCHDOWN!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

ETSU converts!

[ElCid]

This is what ETSU does. They never give up. I can't believe they went for two at home instead of the tie and OT. But maybe they had nothing left.

Gusty call that paid off. That is what champs do.

ETSU pulls the come back of come backs.

[wcugrad95]

It is just what they do

[ksu_owls]

What a decision by ETSU!! Do the Owls have any magic left??

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

AND THE TWO POINT CONVERSION IS GOOD!

[ElCid]

Best game of playoffs to date for sure.

[ElCid]

Game over without a TD or penalty.

[Chalupa Batman]

I was fully expecting Kennesaw to come down with that pass.

[Bison56]

Maybe next season HootyHoo.

Amazing game! Hate the outcome but it was a thrill watching the Owls compete with a real team! Our date with Fargo will have to wait.

that 2pt conversion definitely made up for being out coached the rest of the game!

[caribbeanhen]

now that was a good game, a shame someone had to lose

but the Kennesaw coach should of went for it on 4th down up by 11, That is what option teams do

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

Jonathan Murphy to pass and it is....

NO! SIR! REE! NO! SIR! REE!

ETSU WINS THEIR FIRST HOME PLAYOFF GAME IN 25 YEARS! NEXT STOP FARGO! (Looks that way).

[BurialGround]

Congrats to ETSU, and good luck in the next round! This one's gonna sting for a while! You can't fall asleep at the end of a game like that, and this time it came back to haunt us. It was bound to happen eventually.

[WeAreThePride]

How the turntables have turned.

[wcugrad95]

Like I said numerous times, ETSU has been doing this for basically 3 seasons. I thought Sanders coached poorly the last 1.5 quarters, but the Bucs still found a way. Serious guts to go for two, but they kinda had to. ETSU would lose in OT.

[Chalupa Batman]

now that was a good game, a shame someone had to lose

but the Kennesaw coach should of went for it on 4th down up by 11, That is what option teams do

I was surprised they didn’t go for it there too.

[JSUSoutherner]

Hey Hooty, I believe you owe the SoCon an apology.

See you next November.


lol we just beat Monmouth by 25. So there you go. Congrats on the Hawks winning in the BS spring season. Fluke.

KSU is going to be the next James Madison.


Like it or not, KSU is pretty freaking good. This is only the beginning. We will make the ASUN into a power conference. The Monmouth game film should be donated to the National Archives in the Library of Congress under the heading: "The Epitome of Football".

Should we donate this game film to the national archives as well?

[Preferred Walk-On]

But seriously, somebody please do a welfare check on Hooty.

Hooty’s heart is broken. KSU choked plain and simple. Congrats to ETSU on a great win. KSU has now joined the club of ignominious defeats by ATL teams. This one hurts bad. Good luck to the Bucs vs the Bison.

[FUBeAR]

Pretty much another day of SoCon Football for ETSU. Nothing too exciting for the Bucs. Their last game with Mercer was as just as close. Their game with Furman was very similar.

KSU played a great game. No one doubts their talent & resolve to win these days, despite their cyber-fans loud protestations that their Team is disrespected.

Quite to the contrary, KSU proved they would definitely be a Top 7 SoCon Team. They are right there with ETSU, Mercer, Chatt, Furman, WCU (now), VMI, and Samford. They are very much like Citadel with a considerably better Defense. The Owls also continued to prove they definitely deserve a shot in the Playoffs, as do at least 3-5 SoCon Teams…every year.

Proud that ETSU represented the SoCon, and what SoCon competition is like EVERY week, so perfectly.

Will be pulling for the MountainPirates to continue to represent & show everyone in FCS what they are missing with the circular logic travesty that Playoff Selections have become.

All I got for now… ksu_owls … you keep your avatar… Your Owls earned it for you today!

[ScrappytheOwl]

Congratulations to ETSU. That was not a good ending for KSU. Atlanta teams seem to do this consistently.

[kdinva]

Unreal final six minutes (and shame on the 2K who left after KSU went up 31-17), great execution on the onsides kick, and greater execution on the two point play (reminded me of VMI over Samford in March)

[bonarae]

ETSU WINS THEIR FIRST HOME PLAYOFF GAME IN 25 YEARS! NEXT STOP FARGO! (Looks that way).

A Fargo trip has come a bit early for us ETSU fans. Like an early Christmas gift... xnodx

[ElCid]

Winning was great for ETSU, but unfortunately I have seen teams win emotional games and stumble the next time out. That they have a history of come from behind wins helps, but they better stay focused this week.

[Libertine]

I've watched enough Mountain Pirate football this season to know it's really never over....they just keep chopping and usually score with 34 seconds left to take the lead and win

I'm just going to point out this post from Milktruck. Dude needs to buy a lottery ticket immediately.

Hey Hooty, I believe you owe the SoCon an apology.

See you next November.





Should we donate this game film to the national archives as well?

Not really. Seriously F the SOCON. Hooty now has blood debt with them. Blood calls blood. KSU will now be laser focused on absolutely obliterating your champion next season. The Owls were up 14 with 3 minutes left. The Bucs BS’d a classic win. Congrats blah blah. Screw em, screw you, screw everybody.

The Owls played well. Hooty is proud of the team’s effort. Murphy stepped up again like the clutch MF’r he is. We didn’t deserve to lose. We outplayed the Bucs in the 2nd half. Hooty will not hide.

You didn't deserve to lose?

I'm confused. Help a simple farmer understand how a team that was up by two touchdowns in the second half outplayed a team that came back and beat them.

Complete and utter Bull****. I wouldn’t expect an unwashed peasant such as yourself to understand logic and reason. We had dominated up until the roughing the passer call. A 3rd & 15 turned into a 1st &10 and the first domino fell. Whatever sadistic football god that wanted the Owls suffer this egregious defeat can go to hell.

Much prognostication, projection, prediction, and bloviation in this FUN thread.

Nobody nailed it, in writing, better than MilkTruck…with a VERY honorable mention to WCUGrad95….but…and maybe it’s just FUBeAR…this little gif FUBeAR posted on Wed. seems to have a lot to say about the game we watched unfold and how what we were watching was interpreted / acted out by - mostly by the KSU cyber-fan-base.

Dunno…just seems to resonate with and amuse FUBeAR quite a bit.

I really really really wanted you guys to win and I really really really wanted you to drag that TO all the way from Atlanta and put up 60 yards of rushing in the dome. You ****ers cheated me.

They average gaining almost 7 yards every time they touch the ball. Only an SEC Defense, along with Mercer’s & Furman’s excellent D’s, have been able to ‘contain’ them to under 6 yards / touch. I’ve been reading here about Kennesaw’s outstanding Defense. They will need to be ready for a challenge on Saturday.Thought this needed to be updated.

Looks like, as FUBeAR stated earlier, KSU contained ETSU’s excellent pair of RB’s about or almost as well as some of the best SoCon Defenses - Mercer, Furman, and Chattanooga and, of course, an SEC D did. Oddly though, it seems they did get a bit of an assist from ETSU’s Offensive Play Callers as they held the pair to their fewest carries this season - over 12 under their average…and 6 under their Avg # of touches…give those cats the ball 6 more times and we, most likely, would be looking at another 42 yards…which would add VMI, The Citadel, Samford (surprisingly), and Wofford (also surprisingly) to the list of SoCon D’s that are fairly comparable with KSU’s. Yep - KSU has a nice D. The Owls’ D could definitely hold their own and be competitive week-in & week-out if they played a SoCon schedule. FUBeAR would project this edition of the Owls would have finished about 5-3 in the SoCon, no worse than 4-4.

[FUBeAR]

As FUBeAR has said all year. After Riddell’s last game, thought Sanders had proved me wrong…but FUBeAR was right.

How many carries has Holmes had after his TD?
To answer FUBeAR’s own question…asked at the height of his frustration with ETSU’s Play Calling…

After Holmes carried the ball 4 times for 52 yards (13.0 ypa) on ETSU’s opening drive of the 3rd quarter, scoring a TD that put ETSU up by 2 scores, HE NEVER HAD A SINGLE RUSHING ATTEMPT. Insanity!

To make it worse…he didn’t touch the ball again, AT ALL, until there was less than 5 minutes left in the game & ETSU was down 31-17…when someone must’ve reminded their Coaching Staff that the SoCon Offensive Player of the Year was still standing on their sidelines…and they threw it to him 5 more times…including hitting him for the TD that enabled ETSU to take the lead / win the game.

FUBeAR is sure glad someone woke the f up on the ETSU sidelines. INSANITY!

[ksu_owls]

FUBeAR, you are a gracious man!

I’m excited to see what ETSU can do next week. Can’t get over how great of a football game that was. If we had more games like that we wouldn’t have a problem with attendance.

De nada…FUBeAR had great fun here this week!

ETSU has no chance of winning next week. That game was over as soon as the Playoff brackets were filled in.

29-1 (NDSU’s Playoff Record in the FargoDome) doesn’t happen by chance.

They have had and still have outstanding Football Teams…and they ‘work their plan’ flawlessly (no way do they ‘forget’ to put the ball into the hands of their best Player while a game is about to go WAY South)…BUT….The Home Field Advantage in that facility is RIDICULOUS. One of their fans told FUBeAR he was gonna steal FUBeAR’s line when FUBeAR commented that…for the visiting Team, it’s like the stadium is pitch dark and the NDSU Players are wearing night goggles.

Just hope Holmes, Saylors, and maybe (WR) Huzzie get some Opportunties to display their outstanding ability and ETSU keeps it competitive as long as possible.

That’s the best we SoCon peeps can hope for…and hope that somehow / someway the Selection Committee reduces their reliance on circular logic for determining Seeds & At-Large bids.

OR…

restructure the Playoffs … go back to 16 Teams (wait…how would fewer Teams in the Playoffs help the SoCon get MORE Teams in the Playoffs. That don’t make no sense.) We’ll…it’s complicated. Relative to the FLOOD of Teams from the MVFC & the Big Sky, even if the SoCon only got an AQ…it would be more…relatively. Now…take away the bye week from the (subjectively Seeded Teams & we’ve reduced that (subjectively-granted) advantage. Seed ‘em all 1-16 (still subjective, but allows the next change)…no Regionalization. Going from 23 Playoff games to to 15 saves enough $’s to allow that. Can still do 1st round ‘buy-a-game’ if the NCAA wants…which would out higher seeds traveling to lower seeds, but that don’t bother me. If you deserve your seed, you’ll overcome that. 2nd round & thru semi’s go by better seed getting home games.

Oh…gotta pull back the AQ from the PFL, the NEC, and even the PL if they have any rules/policies preventing schools from funding full FCS limit of schollies (sorry guys) or don’t send their Champion to the playoffs…so, if PL doesn’t get an AQ (not sure of they are full schollies or not now), then we have maybe 8 (who knows how WAC / ASUN / Southland / OVC are gonna shake out relalignment-wise) AQ’s and 8 At-Large. Seems fair enough.

Better games, more ‘fair,’ same/reduced costs, and eventual reduction of circular logic reliance…. Just spit-ballin’ this…

NCAA needs to be wetting up their own spitballs…cuz FCS Playoffs are discouraging many fans interest in FCS Football now…instead of the opposite.

LOL - Mercer rubbed their BBall Team’s beaks in their droppings last week.

Not really…the Bears won, but it was much closer than expected when playing the dumpster fire that traditionally is KSU hoops. Maybe they’re HootyHeads and now visualizing their success FAR in advance of achieving it.

[Reign of Terrier]

Also, starting KSU QB going down in a close game only to have the backup QB run wild against a socon team is literally what happened to Wofford in 2019. Except this ETSU team is balanced and better.

Murphy is a different kind of QB than shepherd, and this offense for KSU is different from past ones. They are actually good at passing and play call passing like a typical run-first under center team, more so than a flexbone team (at least they were in this game). Anyway, Murphy was more of a running back under center (and maybe KSU just ran more double and less triple option this year and I just didn't pay attention). A lot of plays were lead options and Murphy was just hella slippery. Shepherd's probably a better passer, but the injury "helped" KSU bc it probably wasn't something ETSU anticipated.

Either way, both teams are good and overlooked and will continue to be so because Fargo is near impossible.

That game was a tough loss. On to recruiting season i guess. I am sure the SOCON fans will celebrate their 1-3 playoff record against KSU but I am still pretty happy with KSU this year. KSU is a young team and that game was a good learning experience for them. We are leaving the big south with 3 championships in 5 years and got sweet revenge against monmouth. Things could be worse.

I apologize in advance to the Bulldogs for the beating the Owls will deliver. Blame the Bucs. We also play our favorite punching bag Wofford again so that will be nice. But nothing matters except a rematch vs the Bucs. Not the ASUN, not the FCS National championship. Only beating the SOCON.

Good one. Sorry KSU can’t control when the program was founded. In Hooty’s mind, it’s not a good thing that programs that started over a century ago have comparable numbers to a team that hasn’t even been around a decade.

Hooty will not apologize for talking smack. My honest opinion was the Owls were 10-15 points better than ETSU and we were. I get it, the Owls choked and Hooty and KSU deserve to get crapped on. But let’s keep it real, KSU was the better team yesterday. However. you can’t make mental mistakes and win in December. The Bucs know they got extremely lucky, you know it, I know it.

Actually yeah Kennesaw State University could control when the program was founded. Do you think the NCAA dictates when programs are founded?

[POD Knows]

Watched the game. Wow. Atkins and Holmes are real good for ETSU. Did the announcer state that the ETSU QB is the best QB in FCS. Did I hear that correctly

”You must be living right” was balls on. That doesn’t last forever. This was a really good game. First time I have seen ETSU. Murphy is better QB than their starter. He seems to run the TO better and is a lot quicker. His arm is serviceable

The ETSU D is small. Quick but small.

[POD Knows]

LMFAO. listening to the announcers after the game. “#1 defense in the FCS they have proven that in how they performed and how they are viewed”. Oh please. How they are viewed? Anybody out there in AGS land view or fear that defense as #1.

Well. KSU had better stats. KSU was the better team for a quarter and a half. That doesn’t get it done. Stats is where the losers go to when that is all that is left.

[WeAreThePride]

I'd be interested to see the stats on the worst comeback loss NDSU has faced. To my memory, nearly all of our losses of the last decade did not involve a team surging back down multiple scores to beat us in the fourth quarter. Maybe South Dakota back when Carson got hurt in '15?

No, usually if we get beat, we get beat all game long. We dig ourselves a hole, and can't dig out of it.

Luck. That’s how it happens. Watch the game. The Owls dominated the second half. Scored 3 TDs and a FG on their 4 second half possessions. Quay Holmes is legit, but the Owls held him to under 100 yards rushing. He did kill us receiving out the backfield. All respect to Holmes. He’s a pro player.

KSU outgained the Bucs by 139 yards. 457-308.
Owls held the ball for 10 more minutes. 35-25
More first downs 23-19.

But…
we lost the turnover battle and penalties. 3-1 and 7-3. The Owls were punished for their lack of fundamentals. To quote Dennis Green and the greatest press conference of all time:

“They are who we thought they were. If you want to crown their asses, crown him. But we had them, and we let em off the hook.”

[caribbeanhen]

the AGS predictions on this game were pretty split, tough game to pick and the game certainly proved that

I had a bad feeling when Kenny was up 11 and on 4th and 2, they decide to kick the FG for a 14 point lead with just over 5 minutes. Go for first down is what Georgia Southern woulda done.

I had this feeling because I have watched ETSU and I know they pull out miracle victories and sure enough

One área where Bison Could be a little vulnerable is covering those tall lanky receivers that can jump, Kenny had no chance

The Bison don’t need to worry about the Bucs passing game unless it is Holmes out of the backfield. Find #1, put two guys on him. Get pressure on the QB and he’s useless. Basically don’t sit back and play prevent cover 3 and the Bison will win by 50. Frankly, it’s embarassing the Owls couldn’t execute that simple of a game plan.

100% agreed on the FG decision. As an option team, we learned a painful lesson. Georgia Southern would have gone for it. KSU needs to get that killer mentality this offseason.
