Get Ready MTSU.

Lots of indications that Coach Pelini may of held back against Wagner for a multitude of reasons. In either case.

Yeah... we held back on our playbook too.

I found that difficult to believe as well. However one thing changed my mind. FAU was a much different team in the 2nd half. Whether that was because of the QB change or if Coach Pelini told them to try more of the playbook I am unsure.

We won our game despite 4 turnover with 2 of those in the Redzone and a missed field goal. FAU could of easily won that game 24-3.

Yeah I'm reaching here, but dammit I'm a fan and will cling to whatever I can to give me hope for tonight.

GO OWLS!

Good God, these two teams are horrible.

FAU might be the least talented team in FBS, and MT is definately the least well coached.

Can someone explain tome how they looked at that "fumble" and upheld that call?!? That is possibly the worst officiating I have ever seen.

Yeah, I don't see how that was a fumble at all.

Well it wasn't why FAU lost, but that call was horrendous! I hope Pelini sends that video to the SBC office right after the game.

16,227 is a lot bigger crowd than I expected. From family at the game they thought it was about the same as last week's crowd. Pretty good, considering... Go Blue! FINALLY got a win. About damn time... lol

Good game Owls.

Even though it felt like the refs were wearing light blue instead of black and white, I must give credit where it's due. Good game MTSU, y'all gave it to us.

I'm sooooo looking forward to my trip up to UGA now.... somebody just kill me now

I am already done with Pelini

LOL. You gave him 2 games with mostly the same roster that won 1 game last season...seems fair. There isn't a coach in the country that can win with this little talent. We are basically where FIU was when Cristobal took over. He won 1 game his first year. Hell, Nick Saban lost to ULM in his first season in Alabama. Should they have been done with him after that? If you don't have the talent, you don't win.
