Solid? Evans was damn brilliant today. I was an early critic of Evans, but he has had a great year and we are lucky to have him.
I was at the game. The last play was clearly a strip and we got hosed. They showed the replay once and then cut it off.
BUT
Catch that pass in the end zone that fell into the defenders lap and we win. Dane doesn't throw a 100 MPH bullet to Flanders out of the back field and we might get six instead of three. Dane his Hobbs or Josh instead of over throws and they are gone for TDs. We don't get called for a facemask by an O-lineman, we might score a TD or FG and we win the game. We make the 2 point and we are tied.
We shot ourselves in the foot, just like in Houston (I was also there). Any of the above doesn't happen and the last palay doesn't matter. This one hurt, but Navy was a great host and the fans were gracious.
Yep and he will likely pass Paul in total offense sometime during the next three games.Probably forgotten in all this mess is the fact that Dane became the all-time leading passer in TU history today. I'm sure he doesn't care about that right now, but it's still a pretty amazing accomplishment considering all the great quarterbacks we've had and the two-year stretch of losing we endured during his freshman and sophomore seasons.

And Flanders and Brewer will Likely pass up the Palomino Express about the same time.
My guess is at home against Cincinnati for both of those records.
I'm not holding out much hope on Lucas busting either of Twilley's records.Flanders/Brewer need 329 yards to surpass Gunter/Lacy for most combined season yardage. Could happen against UCF but yeah, probably more likely against UC.
Evans needs 396 total yards to surpass Smith which could again happen against UCF but is also more likely in the season finale.
A few more records yet to fall and lots more movement on the school's various charts to come. Keevan Lucas is the big one to watch with one major 50-year record within reach (career receiving and another 50-year record possible with three monster games (season receiving). Both records, of course, are held by Howard Twilley.

Was at the game forward progress stopped ref blew whistle ran in waving hand. Not sure if you can hear the first whistle on tape but no strip until after the whistle was blown. Lotta crying and excuse making going on.

seriously........For the second week in a row, Navy gets help from the officials to win the game. Perhaps they need extra 'help'.
excellent QB, would expect to see him on Sundays.Tulsa's offense played well enough to win today. Evans was solid as ever IMO.

Of all the fanbases I somehow excepted Navy was better than showing up after a game is already in the books to argue on the opponent message board.
Guess not.
I'm a ROTC ahole and think I'm pretty glorious...
If the play was whistled dead before BRU had the ball why were the Navy RBs chasing Bruband tackling him? If it was after the whistle where's the 15 yard penalty for late hit/unnecessary roughness?The whistle came after the arms went up... for certain.
The arms went up after the strip... for certain.
The video evidence is unmistakable.
Anyone crying otherwise likely craps their own pants and doesn't know what day it is...
Watch the video, dumbass
He's right. Once fwd progress is ruled stopped, the play is dead. It's a judgment call by the official.
It costs the school more than it makes ...Another unfortunate ramification (and apologies if someone has already mentioned this) but that loss killed our chances to potentially host the championship game, which is obviously a loss of revenue for the program. Don't know the economic impact that ends up being, but it certainly makes it even tougher to swallow the circumstances surrounding that final few seconds.

We're like the old jai alai league (good reference for old time Tulsans).
