What a frustrating last 30:30 of this game. We could/should have won.
That loss hurt in so many ways. I thought we had it at 20-17 at the 1. Absolute killer. Still, a better performance than I thought. What a job by Coach Hill
Bow Em
For all those in the heat of the moment who said we were out coached I tend to disagree coach Hill called a great game gave his players confidence kept them fighting till the end just sometimes play calls work some times they don't HATS OFF TO THIS TEAM CANT WAIT TILL THE FALL GO DAWGS

Yep shoulda won it. Running up the middle over and over when a little deception and we get two TDs instead of one FG! That's a shame!!!
We've got some talent. I think we'll be back in the playoffs next year! We need better play calling though.

except for those brain farts where you try to run the ball up the middle over and over when you haven't gained squat doing that the whole game - they cost us a game we should have won
I’ll be able to appreciate this season tomorrow, but right now I’m still bent out of shape over the out of bounds call on JW. I firmly believe we win that game had we gotten that call.
Here’s to karma righting that wrong for us.
Right now I am mostly upset that I won't get to watch them play again until fall. This was a fun team to watch in this weird season.

Agree. Can NOT understand how they didn't review that!
Should have scored a TD anyway though.
Just don't understand why the Williams out of bounds call wasn't reviewed! Obvious miss by the official. The other critical play was the reverse toss by Williams on 3rd and 2 in the 4th quarterthat resulted in the fumble. I went back and replayed it, and if the toss was clean we probably score on that play. Only one defender on that side of the field and he was down field. Also, I saw a ton of holding by the SDSU offensive line that wasn't called. On the play calling - Hill made a lot of great calls, but I agree we run into the line at very curious times. This team had tons of heart!!! Looking forward to the fall. Would be nice to start with an upset of Kansas State. They had a down year, so they may be vulnerable. QB competition for us should be very interesting!!! Hope all our RB's and WR's are back and that we shore up our D line. Should be pre-season top 10. Go Dawgs!!!
Reading a lot of football pundits crying foul on the Williams out of bounds call instead of TD. Seems like a total consensus we got screwed! Would have been up 27-17 very late in 3rd quarter. Should have scored on subsequent 4 plays, but still likely cost us the game. Really burns my balls!!!
Terrible decision not to look at the Javon scamper short of the goal line, but what I can't get passed is the 4th down handoff to Furcron. Look, I love everything about that dude, and I know that he's got the ball in prior games and also that he probably takes handoffs at the end of practice....but this isn't Week 2, this is for all the marbles, man! Give it someone that handles the ball, preferably Javon. Not to mention that Furcron left his feet on the play, essentially taking out his 330 lbs they gave it to him in the first place.
Great season. To end our playoff drought on a COVID season expanding over 8 months really shows the focus and discipline of this team and the program Nick and Co. are building.
I look forward to this fall, hopefully things will be even more back to "normal" and we can get some money from a BCS game, tailgate with our family and friends on Saluki Row, slap hands with the boys on their way to and from Saluki Stadium....all the things that make it FUN!
Congrats to Coach Hill, the coaching staff and the players. They showed so much heart this season and never quit in spite of so many injuries. We showed we can play with the top teams in the FCS and I would say we have a good chance to see SIU football relevant again for a long time. Thanks for a very entertaining season and looking forward to more success in the future!
Always hard to lose a game that felt like it was there in our grasp. Time to move on and be hopeful for the future of SIU football something that hasn’t always been there. Really proud of our team and the progress Hill and company have made . Go Dawgs
