The Silver Lining
Man what a game! This one will be remembered for a while. A Bobcat loss, yes. But take a step back from the ledge and see this one from a wider perspective. We damn near knocked off the number 2 team in the nation, with a brand new QB and with lots of offensive players with relatively little collegiate experience. EWU is touted for there prolific offense....an offense that MSU just went blow for blow with. It sucks to lose, but you HAVE to walk away from this game with an optimistic smile on your face. MSU is the real deal. Hats off to the coaching staff, the aggression is refreshing. Prukop. Are you kidding me? This kid is amazing. MSU is fortunate to have a sophomore QB that has come out with the kind of poise and skill this kid has shown. Great job to the OL, SJ, Knight, RODERICK!!, et al. Defense got exposed a bit, but seriously, they did a damn good job over all. Proud to be a Bobcat.

As an EWU fan, I absolutely agree. MSU is the real deal. We were lucky to get this win. Well done, and good luck for the rest of the season!

Re: The Silver Lining
I watched the EWU coaches and players come off the field today and it was different. Not like they deserved the win and therefore earned it, but that they had run into a juggernaut today and were lucky to have found a way to win. Kudos to them in the win and a hard fought game. And mostly....their players were extremely realistic about what had just happened.
This is a building block game for both coaches and players. It was a half an inch away from being a statement game for both. Great college football game to watch.

Forte was a beast.
Tough to know that we were winning for a majority of that game to lose by a single point. That one stings

Re: The Silver Lining
Great game that could have gone either way on so many plays today. Just think, 8 days ago before the Central Arkansas game we Bobcats still didn't know how we would measure up with the rest of the FCS - although bummed over today's loss, we now know and its very good!
