Had the Lamar place-kicker hit his kicks, they would have won. Missing 2 FG's in the second half did them in. But they only allowed one FG defensively in the second half. They definitely gave UNI all they could handle.

Watching Maine vs Weber state...neither one have the talent the bears do. Sigh...

May not be dynamic on offense but both of those defenses are seriously good and talented.

Your right, those two defenses were pretty darn salty......
