Odds & Ends worth mentioning:

- We lost the turnover battle 2 to 1, but still won.
- Sam Seonbuchner had 1 reception for 6 yards (someone earlier said no TE's had a catch today. He plays a lot of F-back, but he's listed as a TE).
- Matt Leo credited for a sack (his first, I believe)

I think "Seonbuchner" is German for H-back. Not 100% sure. (He's like what they call a "glue guy" in hoops - does so many little things to help the team while not getting the glory).

The one thing about yesterday's game that chapped my ass is Campbell's conservative play calling. Akron threw downfield way more than us.

Game threads are toxic, win or lose.


I agree cycloneG....I'm just happy we won and aren't zero for three like Scott Frosty's Little Red, ponder this boys...If Nebbie would had played Akron they would be Zero for Four......Lets keep our eye on the big prize, a trip to another bowl game....

We er CMC needs to figure out how to win four more conference games and then beat Incarnate Word....Lets do something different at ISU, Lets go Bowling every year for lets say 20 years or so......

And remember GO Cyclones

We have 2 big receivers who can make plays yet they dont throw it more than 10 yards.

And when we have, we've usually scored.

But even worse than that, as CW has mentioned, we rarely throw it past the sticks on 3rd downs. Yesterday, we had a 3rd and 3, we threw the ball, completed it, and didn't get the 1st down. It was a 1-2 yd completion. How can that even happen? Just sad.

campbell knows we can throw down field. its the short yardage stuff we are struggling mightily at. i think some of our problems up front are we are thinking too much and this is true of past campbell teams. things will be tightened up this week on offense. a road game down to dallas can do us well and tcu fans will be very disinterested. we have a chance folks.

I’m not 100% sure it was him but pretty early he went out on a route after some contact came off the field with his arm limp. Looked like a dislocated shoulder.

He didn't play at all yesterday, he wasn't even dressed for the game.

Sometimes the defense takes away the deeper routes and the QB has to check down and hope the underneath receiver can make a person or two miss. You can't force the throw just to throw it deep.

Anyone DVR the game and could get a couple screen shots of Braxton Lewis holding the turnover belt? Would love a couple.

Someone mentioned this to me at work today and I didn't even realize we had such thing on the sideline. When did this start?

Just started this year. The guys came up with it on defense and it took off.
