He should have called fair catch on that ball? Why? Took a big hit by a player out of his vision that literally came off the bench.
Entertaining thread. Would read again. @Medford M. Is right, plenty of garbage takes in the heat of the moment.

Well he did get back in the game after the hit for a few more plays, so I guess he deserves credit for that.

Why the bickering? WE’RE 5-0! Enjoy the win!

Agreed. Looked like it was probably a deep thigh bruise as the announcer insinuated. Those things are a bitch and a half. Very hard to play through.

Agreed. Only thing I didn't like was I'd still like MM to be a little more aggressive with the lead.

It was nerve-wrecking to be within a score still, but our last drive was a thing of beauty. Great job running out the clock.

I'm not saying he should have called for a fair catch. He got 11 yards after the catch. I'm just saying it's an option to consider if you really don't want to get hit hard, and just want a guy with good hands back there to catch the ball and not muff it or fumble.

I was more irritated with the drive before that where MM seemed content running on 1st and 2nd and not going for anything.
Just back from the game. Awesome crowd. Hope it came through the TV that way.
A hard fought win. Except for the deep ball against Fisher, I thought the D in the second half was good to very good. The goal line stand was pivotal. And the half time adjustments are why this team is undefeated.

Playcalling was curious for sure, but I thought the defense did a pretty good job shutting down the run in 2H which forced them into more passing situations (which removing Wigley from the game remedies that problem).
Just feels like this team is in control and can get a score or stop when it needs to. If we start forcing some turnovers I don't see us losing.

It was but would have been nice on the 2nd to last drive to put another 7 up. That 3rd down conversion by montez called back for holding killed that drive. But running it up their arse was the right call.
When you are up seven and flip the field in a big way, do not risk anything on third and long.
The coaches had a great feel for how the game was finishing IMO.

beware the habu
Vids, or it didn't happen.
He just seemed to get really conservative at the wrong times and his timeout management was hilarious.
One thing that I haven’t seen mentioned much on here is how well the O-line played. Didn’t give up a single sack to a team that had like 18 sacks and 40 hurries coming into this game. Gave Montez time to throw and McMillian holes to run through. Damn proud of this offensive line against such an aggressive front seven and DAMN proud of this football team for showing grit throughout all 4 quarters for the 5th game in a row. Gotta love seeing such a tight-knit group pulling through game in and game out. Go Buffs!!! 5-0
Others have said it, I will repeat it because I have been critical of, and a huge skeptic of, the OL. They played a whale of a game and did what you want your OL to do...take over the game in the 4th when it is for all the marbles. Great job by the OL, I will eat my plate of crow cold.
Take a look a play sequence in 2H. Benjamin’s first two runs were for 21. Then he gets stuffed three times and Herm abandons run.
Last carry was on 1st and Goal from 3, after which Wilkins got sacked,completed pass and then threw a jump ball that Abrams batted.

I'm also still curious about this because there's 9 guys in the frame there, and I'm pretty sure there are two guys line up on the bottom split wide. I have no idea how Lewis could have ended up out of bounds at the spot he came from.

One OL I'd like to single out for playing well is Kaiser. He's so much better at RT than he has been at LT.
It does look like he comes off the bench but he was blocked out of bounds out of the picture
Never mind. Just answered above.
