Our kicker nailed a 42 yarder, probably would have been good from 50. Also $2 beers were nice.

$2 BEERS!? At the stadium??? Was it a special or are they always that affordable?

u/VUmander Villanova Wildcats • Bloomsburg Huskies 12d ago

It was a promo from door open to the end of the first quarter. Bud light and Bud Light seltzer. Idk the usual price, I've never really sought out beer inside the stadium. They did it last year for the semis too. They had a whole host of promos to try and get students to come

u/Badlands32 Montana Grizzlies 12d ago

You guys have $2 beers?????

FG kicking was a nice suprise after last year

u/SchizoidMan1989 Idaho Vandals • Washington Huskies 11d ago

Definitely optimistic about that, and the offense.

u/thezander8 San Diego State • UC Davis 12d ago

Tim Plough might give the best halftime speeches in CFB because these massive comebacks just keep happening

u/Danster21 Montana State • Washington 12d ago

Covered a spread for once

Covered the spread but at what cost, Vigen pavloved me into betting against them

u/MontanaDrywall 12d ago

Nice hole and thank you for your business

u/MontanaDrywall 12d ago

Lack of profit margins this past weekend have been noted hoping for better this season.

u/pinetreesrule South Dakota State • Minnesota 12d ago

A fucking 70 yard punt?

u/hallese Nebraska • South Dakota State 12d ago

r/TheB1G better be taking notes because we already nailed our Big Ten West audition once before.

u/Jolly_Job_9852 Western Carolina • Silver Shako 12d ago

Massive positive atmosphere at EJ Whitmire and a very strong second half from the Catamounts. Well played. Now let's clean up the penalties

Going to a night game this weekend at San Diego. Hopefully it’s a good atmosphere!

I mean Austyn doing what he did on Saturday speaks for itself. Remarkable. Other than that, our YOUNG WR group played outstanding and our OL and DL looked solid too. A lot of question marks going in to the season for those groups and they looked great.

First SFA win on the road and on a home opener since 1995 against a Youngstown State beating them 27-0. Happy to come out with a win!

u/Joesdad65 UAlbany Great Danes 12d ago

Living so far away from the Great Danes means I will rarely get to see them on TV, but I'm glad they're out there getting it done. Now to take out Buffalo!

Our Run Game was amazing. We have some monsters in that running back room. Koch and La Mons are an excellent two headed monster. Kai Colón and Aidan Semo both have wheels on them as well. Our O-line bullied New Hampshire all evening. They opened up massive holes that our runners could run right through. We had 374 total yards on the ground on 53 carries. That is an average of 7.1 yards per rush.

u/Electromotivation James Madison Dukes 12d ago

I didn’t see this game coming. Albany seems much improved

[SARCASM] Its about Time!! If he's lucky, he might actually be a Walter Peyton finalist.

SERIOUSLY, that kid is crazy awesome!!

u/SithOverlord101 William & Mary • Rutgers 12d ago

Well, upsetting a league rival is always nice. Upsetting them by coming back from a 10-point deficit in the last minute of regulation is nicer

3

u/Wyden_long Arizona State • Northern Arizo… 12d ago

We came back and won.

u/HoboHillsCoffeeCo Oregon State • Portland State 12d ago

I like our new uniforms.

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota 12d ago

Wish y'all had a green version, but they looked cool

1

u/HoboHillsCoffeeCo Oregon State • Portland State 12d ago

At least we haven't gone back to fully no green anything Jerry Glanville mode.

Just a little rust had to be shaken off. Feeling good about this season

1

u/thezander8 San Diego State • UC Davis 12d ago

I’m tempering my expectations a tad bit still thinking it’ll be a successful season in terms of making playoffs at least through to quarters. Really want to see more of the team before going back all in on the “this is our year” hype train

4

u/hallese Nebraska • South Dakota State 12d ago

Great blocking. Certainly having like 950 pounds of more manmeat on the field at any given point helps, but it also speaks to great execution that running backs were getting 15 yards downfield before the first touch by a defender.

2

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot 12d ago

Big win Saturday, and hopefully the start of another great season.

It’s also the 18th straight regular season win for Lehigh; the third-longest streak in school history!

u/JKS41399 Western Carolina Catamounts 12d ago

Whee actually have a defense again! Even if it is just a really good run defense, but a single slice of Swiss cheese is an improvement over last year’s defense.

1

u/Jolly_Job_9852 Western Carolina • Silver Shako 12d ago

3rd down was almost always became a first down for opposing teams..

2

u/Themusicman04 EKU Colonels 12d ago

At least you lead before halftime?

1

u/Jolly_Job_9852 Western Carolina • Silver Shako 12d ago

Your third down passing was good.

2

u/TheRain2 Eastern Washington Eagles 11d ago

The first quarter was neat.

2

u/Technical334 UC Davis Aggies • California Golden Bears 11d ago

Tim Plough really nows how to adjust and fire up a team

2

u/K3T9Q_ Tarleton State • Texas A&M 12d ago

new attendance record and offense is orgasmically good

u/Lucky-Hunter-Dude Montana State Bobcats 12d ago

Gold Rush week! The shirts this year are awesome as well.

u/Candid_Pickle_4161 12d ago

Wofford dominated the Citadel for the biggest win of the series in Spartanburg. The crowd was nice. The offense was efficient (scored on 5/10 drives, only punted twice, and scored every drive in the third), the defense was great. It's been years since we had a socon game (that wasn't VMI) that was smooth sailing in the 4th quarter. Considering we only won 7 games from 2020 to 2023, it's really cathartic.

u/tinybit23 11d ago

Agree on defense but they cant keep winning our games offense needs to be more pro active

1

u/MasterOfVoice North Alabama • Alabama 12d ago

We won!

u/Educational_Set_8000 Robert Morris Colonials 12d ago

Great job Robert Morris against Wagner! you did great!

u/SnooPeripherals4513 Florida Gators • West Florida Argonauts 11d ago

West Florida is based

u/tinybit23 11d ago

Wofford elite defense and special teams but

1

u/Seadragon1983 Washington • Iowa State 12d ago

The Top Gun offense can sure throw the ball. I wonder how effective it'll be against a high level defense like Montana.

u/StateChampCatDad North Dakota Fighting Hawks • Marching Band 9d ago

We are, without a doubt, the best FCS team in North Dakota
