Hope dozens are calling me out for being wrong but doubt it.

About to get run out of the Tub.
Not a good look 79
I am okay with that “doubt it” call at 28-7 at the 13 or so minute mark in the 2Q with the 4th turnover just happening.

Holy smokes! That is low.
Tubby: 3 national titles, one won on the field, all D2
Keeler: 3 national titles, all won on the field, one as a player, two as a coach, 1 D2, 2 FCS
Carty: 2 on-field national titles, one as a player, one as an OC, both FCS

Carty - get an FBS bowl win!

Oh yeah. Scoring just before the half to make it 28-13 was good momentum swing.

Proud of the boys for continuing to battle back. Especially #4. I'm working on some nicknames.

When it was 28 to 7 I was thinking Youngstown State disco Lou type comeback … very happy and proud of our Freshman QB Minicucci!!!

A leader !!

PA announcer was saying at Half "Stay around after the game when we'll Hang the Chicken!!! Great comeback that day too. Scott Brunner led us. Gino Oliveri had some big runs too

Maybe 6K. Stadium was no more than 1/3 full. Every game I look at the home stands from the east and shake my head, there are always so many empty seats on that side. Shameful. I was thinking of the miracle at Youngstown too in Q2. Top two QBs out, top two RBs out (basically) and missing other important players but still hung in there. Proud of the team and the players for sticking in there and pulling it out.

Attendance struck me as surprisingly low too for some reason-the stats reported 4k, looked scant-and I looked at last year's playoff game attendance reported-4600- last 1st round home game before this(16 team format) against lehigh in 10 was 14k

Well that would be 50 percent more than reported and that was my point. I've been going to the stadium for almost every game since '69 and there was more than 4K there today

A true freshman QB led the offense to a win from a 28-7 hole, that should be the main takeaway from today. Good stuff.

1st half defense = wet toilet paper
2nd half defense = 85 Bears
I'll never be a fan of the 3-2-6 but when it works it works.

Lafayette fans/team really showed up today. I think the new coach has them as the new frontrunners in the Patriot for the foreseeable future.

Was that the last ever FCS game at the tub? If so, that part of UD history ended with a bang!
