Throw the damn ball away. Holy crap. 11 yd sack.

Catch the damn ball for the first down, too.

Norton catches that one and it’s his 2nd TD of the night. Instead, turnover on downs…

No kidding. Mickey Mouse stuff all the time with this program.

Simmons has about 4 yards a carry here...Finley is 10/29 passing early in the fourth.  I guess we keep throwing into the wind...

As good as Book has been all year, he’s sure punting pretty bad tonight 

[LZIp]

Step the hell up offense. Lets go!!

The weather conditions probably give him a bit of a pass.  NIU hasn't exactly lit the world on fire punting, either.

Don’t they all??

Put Bullock in on 3rd and 1. Come the hell on. Also Polk should have gotten the damn first down instead of running out of bounds short. We beat ourselves.

There’s the predictably defensive collapse in crunch time.

[Spin]

I……………….got nothing

[exit322]

I'm sitting here thinking "really this defense hasn't played that badly today," and they've given up 29 points and 405 yards in a driving rainstorm.

 

That's the standard...

[MangoZip]

NIU scoring plays - 58, 39, 32, 71. So bad

Defensive has been solid aside from 4 plays. Unfortunately the 4 plays were all long touchdowns.

Right.  And as such...the defense really hasn't been good.  But yeah it doesn't look awful except for when NIU makes them look silly time and time again.

[zipsrule]

Catch the ball.

[LZIp]

I think I’m totally okay if Finley isn’t the QB next year. 

[Spin]

This game will mercifully end soon.

Yeah, the problem is that they need to find a competent QB.

grammar

[exit322]

Well, they should still be favored to beat Kent, but...hoo boy

[Let'sGoZips94]

Is it just me, or was that a very lackadaisical 2 minute offense? 

 

The new AD needs to get the next coaching hire right after next season. 

[Slam_Hilliard22]

Ben finley channeling his inner jeff undercuffler there

[Captain Kangaroo]

How many losses can one severely depleted fan base take?

 

The Zips ain’t no fun to follow. Bad football.

Nope, it wasn’t just you. That was pathetic. 
 

That was three hours of my life I’ll never get back.
