Goin' to the Poin! 2012 Poinsettia Bowl Thread

I am a Bronco critic, but his halftime comments about the punting game were spot on. And prophetic.

I agree. I wasn't online during the game, but went back and read the whole thread last night. In hindsight it is pretty comical how people were blasting Bronco's for his comments. If I had heard them, I would have felt the same way.

In reality, the punting game was huge in the second half and may have saved the game for us. Steelblue's son kind of laughed when he said that Stephenson should be the offensive MVP. I kind of agree.

They don't deserve Rocky Long.

As big as the defensive plays were for the Cougars, their punt unit came up huge in pinning down the Aztecs four times in the second half. They downed two punts by senior Riley Stephenson at the 1, one at the 2 and another at the 3. They were among the six punts inside the 20.

Stephenson "changed the game," Mendenhall said. ""And he could have easily been the MVP."

SDSU coach Rocky Long agreed.

"I don't know who got the Most Valuable Player, but I'll tell you who I thought the Most Valuable Player was, was their punter," Long said. "Field position made it tough on the offense."

I love Craig Bills. Looking forward to watching him the next two years.

Yup. If KVN comes back and BYU can land some JC DL help BYU will have a very good defense next year as well.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Easily lost in our KVN love fest is Craig Bills performance - dude brought some key heavy hits at a time when the D hadn't quite hit its stride. When he blew up Dingwell short of a first down it set the stage for a stops on 2nd and 3rd and the Aztecs offense never really got on track after that point.

So as it turns out, both teams should have lined up on first down and punted to the other team's offense. That's why the intercepted punt/pass from Lark wasn't that bad.

Dude needs to keep his head up and focus more on making the tackle instead of the hit. He whiffs on plays far too often for my liking.

Yeah, he has to figure out how to be fundamentally sound without losing his nasty streak. Fundamentally nasty!!

That hit on the goalline was filthy clean, though!!!

Tonight was just a dominating game (mainly 2nd half) by #3 of the Borg. Props to him - sometimes you just get beat. Once we had to start passing, it was over.

Favorite quote from an Aztec MB.

Off of the discredit KVN train, on to the discredit Ziggy train. All aboard!

lol

He didn't say that Ziggy wouldn't earn gobs of money. Being an actuary could be useful when you've got that much cash to throw around.

[All-American]

All the KVN jokes about tackles in this thread are priceless. The only thing dumber than Indy Coug's tackling comments were Bronco's comments about the punting at halftime.

Seeing as how Bronco's comments about punting at halftime were johnny-on-the-spot, I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not.

[fusnik]

I hope Ziggy doesn't stop taking his actuarial exams. It will help him with his life experiences.
