The young man really does have a cannon for an arm. Had to be tough trying to catch those heaters in freezing temps. Very impressed by his physical skills, poise and maturity. With added experience, he could really develop nicely![/u]

That’s the most impressive part of this kid is he doesnt get rattled! He just pops up and hops back in the saddle for the next play... oh and his arm is money!

Can we borrow your third string QB?

Thanks for re-posting the game but I cannot take another minute of CMU's Ray Bentley. I damn near muted my TV in favor of the WMU's internet broadcast.

Bentley never misses a chance to get in a dig at Western, he can't let it go. He damns with feint praise.

Yep. I was concerned and was thinking 'if the players really have been lost, we're going to get demolished.'

Then even during the game, I thought 'looks like those rumors are wrong.'

Nah, you might be better off with Ball St's. He ripped us to shreds more then we ripped you.

I didn't mind him and actually like him. Didn't seem biased to me at all.

I must agree here, he is very improved and measured and does very well in my opinion.

Bentley has improved in the booth.

He did one CMU-WMU game though (I believe it was 2013) and he was so obviously biased it was painful.

I thought he did a nice job last night. He had the Ohio game too and was sharply critical, but we deserved every bit of that.

I believe he lives in GR, and he’s a cheap hire for ESPN, especially when you figure all the expenses they have to pay for are a tank of gas and maybe a meal. Get used to him on our ESPN MACtion telecasts for years to come.
