Only two accepted penalties against us the entire game, the two holding calls. A third one was declined. No pre-snap or post-snap penalties.

Great 2nd half!, played winning football. OL played great.

Army on that 3rd and 4 throw, by the goal line, interesting call. We also had our Defense on the field during that fake punt with our Punt returner on the field. But i guess beating them the last two games, they felt they needed to be aggressive.

Joel Meyers has a soothing voice and at best is serviceable, the other guy from LSU was absolute trash. Anyone of us would have done a better job. . . But if Joel called this game, why couldn’t graff ?

Nice to discuss this rather than the usual topics: wr’s dropping balls, our awful qb play, awful play calling, firing coaches, recruiting, facilities or any other dead horse ! A beat down to enjoy. . . Never mind what the score would have been had we caught 1 or 2 of those 3 dropped passes.

Or if Pratt took something off his fastball a couple of times.

Tip of the hat to the WAVE. Good win!! Two questions-did the receivers get tackypaste to replace the Vaseline that was on their hands in the first half? And Q#2-after a turnover-why do we Not go for the BIG play. Only insecure guys and ones with small penises get shy and don’t go for the kill. Just wondering. But-congrats WAVE 🌊🌊🌊

What a joke that poll is. Army is terrible. Not a Top 25 program. And neither was Vandy 36 years ago. Beat a real Top 25 team.

Yep. I've been saying that. We beat the easy teams again. Now we play two decent teams. Let's beat them.

You guys sound like Andy Rooney and a bunch of curmudgeons. Grumble grumble grumble, what a terrible top 25 win that was.



How about we celebrate the wins. Yes we dominated army, wether or not they were “worthy” who cares. That’s not our job, we don’t vote. But it certainly is a metric and its a metric that does get national attention, and that’s great for us to continue to change our narrative. You can only beat the teams that you play, so let’s keep winning.

Army came into the game statistically as a Top 5 defense.

Great win! Makes the season feel a lot better! A good win against Tulsa/Memphis to offset the bad Navy loss and we have an all around decent season. Won the games we were supposed, won a tossup against Army. Two more wins to close out the season and I'll be thrilled.

Doesn’t make sense why it wouldn’t be graff, Joel must have a contract/affiliation with espn while graff doesn’t. It’s clearly not a Pelicans contract issue

I don't think I've ever seen or heard of Graf doing anything on ESPN. And ESPN is certainly not hiring. Were the announcers (terrible and ill informed as they are) at the game this week? We've had a number of games where the sideline reporter was the only live commentator on site.

I agree that Army wasn't worthy of being in the top 25. The only poll I saw that they were ranked in was the Coaches Poll. That said, it was a total domination of a decent team. We played really well for 45 minutes. Maybe we'll play a complete game before the season is over.

The end of the game was a thing of beauty when we emptied the bench and played the walk ons and everyone who dressed. The happiness and joy on their faces after so much hard work and for so many of the kids to finally see the field even for one play was special. Pratt and Keon were so happy for Ibieta. And Hall went in and handed off to ammons and it was like I was watching Rudy. Great game boys roll wave
