Cannot score a TD, when fade is thrown 7 yards beyond end zone

[Sly Fox]

This is going to come down to the defenses that can find a way to come up wth a stop or two.

Cooley is a beast between the tackles!

Pavia is a magician but even he makes mistakes .

FG pushes the lead ot 33-17 with 1:24 to go in 3rd

[ballcoach15]

We should take the fade passes out of play book, they have cost us 3 TDs I think.

Stats after 3 Quarters:

[ballcoach15]

On that 3d down play we should have thrown ball deep.Poor play calling at times tonight

[Sly Fox]

We have been focused on clock management since we came out of the half.

[Sly Fox]

Wow, we get the call on review for the INT.

[ballcoach15]

These refs ain't best crew in NCAA

[Sly Fox]

Benching Pavia was a bad call and that should do it.

[flamehunter]

Benching Pavia was a bad call and that should do it.

Not just a bad call for this game. We know what indecision about your QB can do to a team.

Final Stats:

That’s a good win. Defense played great second half!

[Dalegarz1]

Solid game for Salter! Made some excellent throws and had some timely runs. I like that he has learned to keep his eyes downfield as he is scrambling-shows some real growth. Only bad play was trying to pitch the ball when he was in the grasp of a defender.

[Kricket]

Good win. Hard to complain about this one. Pretty good all around and Salter showed some stuff today. If he keeps this trajectory going he could lead us to a lot of Ws.

Not to look ahead too quickly but Buffalo lost to Fordham today. May have been a trap game for them, but not good for us considering they should be steaming mad, and also are 0-2 going into our game next week.

[Ill flame]

That was a solid win. The offense looks improved already and they didnt exactly look bad last week. Salter especially looked much more comfortable this week and did a much better job of not trying to do everything himself. Last week he kept the football way more than he should've instead of handing it off. The secondary looked good again this week. Hopefully they keep up what their doing with these turnovers because I have no confidence in our run defense without Kendy Charles. I love that our offense is capable of long slow drives to keep the defense off the field. If it wasn't for the new clock rules I think the score would've looked like more of a blowout by the end.

276 yds passing
250 yds Rushing
This will be a very good offense going forward if they keep it balanced like this.

20,000. Good crowd. Stadium looks pretty full on tv with the new red seats on the Baptist side.

Green could not wait to get to the sideline to put the joker mask on after his interception.

KSalt was terrific tonight. He has really matured. D got themselves together and did a good job 2nd half. Perfect night for football...weather ended up being ideal. Students showed up strong again, and thankfully, the west side seems to be getting more into the game. Tailgate weather was great after rain passed....even got cheerleaders to tailgate with us.

I like the new clock rules this week.

Anyone else think Jerry Kill looks like the abominable snowman?

In the entire second half, NMSU had the ball for roughly eight minutes (Liberty had posession for the other 22ish). Liberty's 3rd quarter touchdown alone was more than nine(!), and NMSU ran all of six plays in the third. That's dominant.

Credit to Cooley and Lucas, who both seemed to drag a few guys and fall forward for 4-5 yards every play. Lucas is shifty, too.

I thought Salter was excellent. Well-covered endzone fades aside, I thought he put some really nice touch on a couple big throws and still uncorked a couple lasers into windows where his guy was the only one with a chance to make the play.
