Wagner converts a fourth and short with a quick slant to Joshua DeCambre. The WR for Wagner know has over 100 yards so far. Very strong game from him.

#Wagner will face a 4th & 3 from the #FAU 25 yard line...

And the Seahawks convert. Less than 7 minutes remain for the team from Staten Island to score 35 points in order to tie.

Loving this effort from our defense!

THOU SHALL NOT PASS!#FAU stops #Wagner on 4th & goal from the one yard line! Less than five minutes to play, and the Owls defense is still playing HARD!

Watched the whole thing (technical difficulties aside) with the sound off, curious to see who played and for how long and to what end.

If DeAngelo Antoine doesn't win CUSA OPOW come Monday, we riot.

What can be said about DeAngelo Antoine? 🤔

Two potential injuries of concern…hopefully just risk management to take them out of the game…

 

Other than that, the run game coming in at the end was encouraging…have to let teams get worn out, and truth be told that was our formula when we were primarily a running team before…so not concerned there.

Bryant looked fine, just no reason to put him back out there.

Here are my thoughts on the game.
1.) Our run needs serious improvement. If we struggled running the ball against a team like Wagner, we are going to struggle against teams like Charlotte, MTSU and Marshall.

2.) Our students and their attendance is a joke. I saw more students heading back to the dorms than heading towards the stadium. Than more of the student left at half time than sticking around. In tough conference games we will need them for the noise.

3.) The complementary water jugs that were mentioned were in the email and on social media, I saw only one of the jugs outside the gate and that was the gate closest to the Innovation dorms.

That is all I got. Hopefully other fans noticed more. Great win, now lets get ready for Charlotte. Go Owls.

The good news is we won . The bad news is we will lose some conference games this season. Not because  of our qb, or wr's,  or rb's,  or d. We will lose because if hideous offensive line play. They are not a very good unit. Wagner over powered them. Wagner!
 

I still think that was by design...but we shall see...
