I was definitely worried that we wouldn’t have the kill mentality we would just coast and play not to lose.

Need an offensive coordinator that wants to put up as many points as possible every week.

This is unreal. This is so unlike a Bohl team. How to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Chambers needs to step up here and put some points on the board.

Going for it on 4th down rather than kicking the field goal was definitely keeping the pedal down. It just didn't work.

It really felt like the defense came out flat in the third quarter. I take nothing away from NIU but the defense has put us in this position as much as anyone.

The whole team is screwing up right now. Offense, defense, AND special teams.

Disagree they were just trying to run clock. Scoring points keeps the pedal down. And now this series is run, run, fumble. Cue the conservative play calling

I don’t even know what to say, Chambers held on to that ball for so long. Feel like he had multiple opportunities to either take off and run or just throw it away.

Going for it on fourth down is being aggressive. Calling a backwards pass for a screen is aggressive. The problem is Wyoming sucks at executing any sort of aggressive play call.

Calling a backwards pass is just stupid. But I don’t think that was the play call. It was supposed to be a forward screen.

What a clown fest this is. We finally show some offense, and still manage to choke away the game in the most spectacular and pathetic effort I can remember.
