Bad snap!

Sheesh...in such a close game...it's not like we were desperate (until after this play)

We didn't call a fake punt. It was a bad snap to the punter and the punter elected to run with it instead of having it blocked.

My Bad...I apologize..I was in the Kitchen listening from a distance. I stand corrected. I'll delete this if I can.
 
I can think of several turning points. Losing De'Michael harris for the rest of the game and probably a number of games was one. Having La Tech pinned inside their own 10-yard line with less than 2 minutes left and using a time out on defense trying to get the ball back for another score before halftime and giving up a TD to La Tech instead was another one.

Yes the timeout before the half trying to get greedy for points bit us in the butt. That was a bad coaching decision. And its one that happens often enough to teams that you would think that unless you just have a dominant Defense, and we do not, that if you have the lead and the other team shows no interest in trying to score before the half you would let them run it out.
 
I think the turning point was when we were down on the yard line and throw a pick in the endzone.

Which one? Were both devastating. Pretty sure there were 2 ints in the endzone - or maybe that one for was so bad into triple coverage that it felt like two. Though all four were bad and two were into triple coverage. Stupid and catastrophic! We win the game otherwise.
