[theasushow]

winner goes to boone. u can watch the game in excellent quality for free on channelsurfing.net 0-0 in the first quarter.

[Aho_Old_Guy]

I think Coastal's got 'em ...

in spite of that 85yd gain by WIU xlolx

[theasushow]

0-0 end of first, WIU on the 1.

[theasushow]

7-0 WIU, both defenses playing pretty well. After seeing the first quarter ASU shouldn't have too many problems with either team IMO. But then again ASU is notorious for coming out slow in the opening round of the playoffs.

[theasushow]

10-0 WIU 9 minutes left in 2nd.

[theasushow]

10-0 halftime. WIU INT in the red zone to close out the half. Both offenses looked pretty stagnant with the exception of a 85 yard pass play by WIU.

[theasushow]

Coastal throws another pick that ruins a solid drive, 10-0 early 3rd.

[theasushow]

PICK 6 for Coastal, 10-7 WIU. 5 minutes left in 3rd, could be a big momentum swing.

[theasushow]

Coastal misses 27 yard chip shot that would have tied it at 10. WIU takes over with 11:30 left in the 4th.

[Aho_Old_Guy]

Coastal needs a little trickeration to punch this one home -- or get #2 a good running start at it.

They are moving the ball but failing miserably at scoring. Just missed a chip-shot FG. WIU can't really move the ball -- just tried a lame halfback pass.

10:00 to go in the 4th -- Coastal ball 1&10 on their own 23 yd.

[theasushow]

WIU has averaged 36 points a game this year and are nearly being shut out by coastal?!??!?!? gonna take way more than this to stand a chance against ASU, 10 points wont get it done. Coastal driving.....

[Aho_Old_Guy]

Holy crap --- CCU made a field goal!

The Red Zone drought is now over!

[theasushow]

10-10 4 minutes to go...

[Twentysix]

Looks like WIU is marching and going to put some nails in the coffin. 3 minutes to go WIU at the 7 yd line. 10-10.

[Twentysix]

Touchdown WIU

XP good

[theasushow]

TD WIU 1:50 to play. 17-10...Coastal in big big trouble.

[Aho_Old_Guy]

CCU got screwed. There is no way the WIU QB made it to the 30 YL before he got smacked.

WIU goes up by a 7 with 1:50 to go.

[charliej]

Coastal not going away...

[theasushow]

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

game, set, match

[UMass922]

Wow.

[theasushow]

Coastal throws 4th INT of game...WIU wins 17-10.

[charliej]

Int kills Beach chickens. WIU squeaked this one out.... Congrats!

5 turnovers by Coastal.

I will say that having watched this game I feel a lot better about ASU's chances. WIU was averaging 36 points a game this season and just came off a great win over UNI. But with CCU holding them to just 17 points, coupled with the fact that UNI lost today (which kind of makes WIU's win look not as impressive) I fully expect to ASU to prevail at the Rock next Saturday.

[kdinva]

Coastal throws 4th INT of game...WIU wins 17-10.

Not the same McDowell we saw the past 4 weeks.......yet a very nice two minute drill at the end......that last pass play look liked a VMI QB threw it........

The late hit call on Glazier was the worst personal foul call I've ever seen in the history of football.

TIME FOR A NEW COACH!!!!!!!!!!!

borrowed this real men of genius song from the app forums. thank you sirs!


"Today we celebrate you Mr. Coastal Carolina QB. When you had the opportunity to tie up the ball game, you threw a pick. A QB keeper would of done, but you Mr. Coastal Carolina QB decided that it would be best to throw out conventional wisdom and throw on 1st and 10. Though you are probably in the locker room crying, WIU could care less that there were a dozen other plays that your offensive coordinator could of chosen. So here is to you Mr. Coastal Carolina QB, because when you had the opportunity to step up and score, you threw a pick, which results in having to wait 9 months to play another game."

Was a terrible call and glad for WIU's sake that it didn't decide the game.

Congrats WIU

By two TDs at least. This is the weakest year the MVC has ever had, the so-called parity is a result of SIU and UNI being down. Although Indiana State is most improved in the nation.
