Nice job battling back in a game that looked like it was an SDSU score from being over.
The offensive line is horrible. It’s the one single unit holding us back. It’s been that way every year - how can Stockstill not see and address that?!?!

Our longest play of the game was two tight end set as extra blockers if I remember right? That says something.
Neither team wants this. SDSU just keeps shooting itself in the foot, and MT can't protect it's QB or run the ball even a little bit.
It's a chronic weak spot - how does he still have a job?
-57 yards rushing at the end of the 3rd quarter.
That's a negative 57 yards.
How is that even possible for the game to be 17-16 at that point. We're getting heroic efforts everywhere else, but the o-line is just awful. And if that doesn't tell Stockstill/Massaro/Decision makers that changes need to be made, it's more evidence that we do not intend to challenge for something great, but just merely exist.

Our defense is winning this game right now, but also Ulbrich is flipping the field consistently
All in all, good effort and good win by everyone.
OL is horrific and they need to toss Mike Polly into a volcano while they're there.
But credit where credit is due - Stockstill and the players deserved this win. Good Job!

I have never jumped so quietly in my life. Can't wake the kiddos on Santa night! Man. What. A. Win!
Credit to the offense on that last drive to move the ball down the field and retake the lead with a FG. This is the first back to back bowl wins ever right?
Also wonder if there's ever been a team to win with a recorded -66 rushing yards?

Congratulations young men. For many of them this represents a once in a lifetime trip with guys they'll remember forever. And a championship ring on top of it. Not a bad week of memories at all👏
Good win, but PLEASE do SOMETHING to fix the OL issues! New OL coach would be a GREAT start!
