Great win for the Lions. Sure figured the refs would continue to throw laundry all over us tonight until the end. Nice to see them find a way to see SU's mistakes toward the end.

I won’t say that it was good officiating on that final drive. Hell, we had some questionable play calls that should’ve made it where some of those penalties never had a chance to happen.
Let’s put it this way: we have definitely lost games due to officials before. I’ll take this one.
FCS better watch out. We’re already a top-50 program... maybe higher.

Wow! Methinks I will need to reassess my thinking on wins vs losses for the year. Offense looked very good. Defense had a tough game but I understand that the SUU offense is no slouch. Great way to start FCS. Reckon I will watch the women tomorrow vs Vandy in soccer on SECNetwork+. ROAR LIONS!

From the jittery few frames I occasionally saw without sound, I believe Ricko Morris killed them. They didn't have an answer for him except to grab him
Edit: just found out the Thorn in the Thunderbird's side was redshirt freshman Dexter Boykin!

I’ll be there too. As a former member of the POD, I’d like to watch from the home side.... trying to decide if that’s a good idea or not.

I could go incognito and not wear my colors. Did that for the last JSU game on home side.
