At least let the guy get his jersey dirty before cutting him.

How fast can Derron Lee get up to speed?

Don't forget Seattle didn't even think Wilson was going to be that good. Matt Hasselbeck was the presumed starter. But Wilson was so great in camp he took that job away.

Didn't know where else to put this. Funny.

I hope this is the 49ers team the Bills face.

I'll take a BC. But if (and a big if) they are 7-0 they will have some cache as an attractive opponent. Supposedly the bowls will try to pick teams close to home. What are the within-8-hour-drive bowls? Pinstripe (NYC), Military (Annapolis), Fenway (Boston) and Quick Lane (Detroit.)

Atoms? You should be so lucky. Quarks and gluons, my friend. Stripped down to reality's studs.

I updated the thread headline. It's not Akron, who is the worst Mac team, but Miami Ohio we face, likely the best team. So this will be a game that could give the winner a lane to the Mac title tilt.

I actually shut the game off towards the end so I didn't see what happened. I do know NIU got to 30 in garbage time. I'm seeing a lot of dumb penalties from being overaggressive.

If you don't get caught is legal.

They need to lay off the dirty stuff. The late hits and unnecessary penalties. Even in this game when it was well in hand. It will bite them at the worst possible time if they don't reel in that behavior now. I'm thinking beyond just a MAC title. In this topsy turvy 2020 season, if they can finish 7-0 they could end up with a bowl invite against a P5 school. A chance to take on a "big boy" on a national stage.

I don't like these undisciplined penalties. Clean it up, Lance.

I agree. Should have been called. It was close for a half. But two scoop-n-score fumble return for TDs by UB has ripped the heart out of NIU And a pick 6 to boot.

These refs are rough

Showing a lack of discipline there and other times. They are the better team. But they need to impose that on NIU.

Sets the UB TD record held before by James Starks

Boston TV again. Yes!

Two for two. Now let's get a stop.

Patterson is a machine.

He we go. #UBHornsUp

UB has a jinx to snap. They've never beaten NIU as a MAC member. (They did beat them once in 1970 as an independent.) Twelve straight losses to the Huskies. That ends tonight.

Correct. The NFL has adopted a 14-team playoff field with only the #1 seed in each conference getting a bye.

You disagree?
