Yeah, stats are what they are, but KSU missed a lot of open WRs last night. Defense was better, but I wouldn't say they dominated KSU. More like KSU bailed us out most of the night. Defense did come up big several times with the goal line stand and the 2 really nice picks.

Those are two really bad teams. The only good thing is we didn’t lose but if we had played anyone with a pulse we would have.

I don't think MAC invites MT / WKU without a GOR. I could be wrong, but I see GOR as part of the invitation to the MAC.

That's one reason I was against it a few years ago (and remain against the move right now). It's just not worth the financial cost.

My thoughts as well. Took me a while to get there I admit. Yes there are times that hindsight is 20/20 and we would be better off in the MAC...in certain specific aspects such as central geography and stability (which is null and void if anyone leaves as no one thought anyone would ever leave the MAC). But at the time, we made the right decision to stay for the exit fees we took in and the long GOR they wanted.

Sure we signed one with CUSA, but it expires after 2027-28 season. Big whoop. If the MAC had only wanted us to sign till the end of their current deal the year before, I think we'd be there now. But they were asking for one into the next decade. With the trouble the ACC has with theirs, imagine what that would do to a G5 school.

With that being said, I would never sign a GOR with them and I would not lock into any long-term type of situation. Probably just better off staying in CUSA at this time and angling for something with more regional games. In the end I don't think it really matters what conference we are in, we are screwed no matter what.

Just stay/go where we get the most $$$ and focus on us is the only hope in my opinion.

The 2 INTs were both great plays and catches. Came at big moments, too.

La Tech loses to NMSU in double OT 33-30 for nmsu's first conference win

Well it was kind of ugly but they needed that win badly! Defense did play well.

2 bad teams tonight with one being just a little worse. Can't believe I stayed for the entire thing!

Nick Vattiato throws a dime to the opposing defensive back but it is dropped

Flip Credle picks up the first down with a 33-yard gain on 3rd and 14. Fumble is overturned and 1st down for MTSU

12 players on the field takes away a 45-yard field goal from Zeke Rankin. Pointless penalities killing this team

Vegas made the call

KSU cant complete a forward pass....

Zeke Rankin misses the 50-yard field goal attempt by a couple yards and the Owls take over at their own 33

Garbage holding call both teams doing that all night you can call that on every play.

Need 7 here to finish this off

Good to see offense starting to get more outside zone runs for Flip Credle but Simon Wilson is called for holding taking away a touchdown by Credle

Jordan Thompson drops an interception that was right at his chest but the pass breakup forces a fourth down.

Omari Kelly fair catches it and the Blue Raiders start at their 10

KSU getting predictable. Always running to the short side of the field when they are behind the chains
