Even though we have lost our first two home games of the season, all hopes should not be lost. It could very well be the break we need to help finish the season on a high note.
Remember that before the season started, we felt that a 7-5 or a 8-4 season would result in a successful season. So, in fact we are doing ok, so far.
I will admit that with the great start we had a better finish was invisioned and I was lost for words to explain what had unfolded during the game.
Here are my thoughts - We are still basically a D-1AA team in transition, I don't mean to repeat this, but only to remind you that we are a D-1AA team. We have played some great football to earn some nice victories, but I wonder if after playing 6-games at the D-1A level it may just have taken a toll on this team - playing team that are bigger and with more depth, does take it's toll over time, unlike playing one game at the D-1A level. To do so game in game out does represent a large task for a smaller team. Wear and tear of playing at that level without the depth, I beleive started to show as the season prolonged.
It will take a few years to build that depth that is required to compete at the D-1A level on a weekly basis.
So, lets not despair, but remain hopefull - this team has plenty of heart and fire left to give us Owls fans something to Hoot about.
Go Owls!!

I think we should bounce back and win these next three though, then we finish 9-3. With our only loses coming against full 1-A teams.

The wear and tear of our smaller players versus the standard D1-A players will take it's toll as the season wears on. That's also what brings on injuries like ours. It will take a couple of years for the 300+ linemen to have an effect with this team and hopefully they will start to come next year.
According to most, we have overachieved, but these guys have fought like warriors to get to this point from what they've started 4 years ago.

BTW, Buck is a good one! That little RB is a tough one too. He reminds me of the RB from Hawaii, Chad Owens. Full speed every time he touches the ball!
