-	The best team won and it wasn’t us.

-	It was the same old problems: Garrett Shrader was 8 for 20 for 63 yards and a pick 6. In the last three games, he’s 23 for 52 (44.2%) for 174 yards no touchdowns and that one interception. That’s not Division 1 quarterbacking. I’m not sure it’s Division III quarterbacking.

-	Our defense actually wasn’t terrible, holding State under 400 yards and giving up only 24 points, (the other two scores were on the defense and special teams) but they gave up some long passes: Devin Leary was 17 for 24 for 303 yards and 2TDs. And for the 5th straight game, we were unable to take the ball away, although we should have one but the refs had a quick whistle.

-	Hey, coach – we gave up a kickoff return for a score. How come we didn’t win?

-	We are now 2-13 all-time vs. the Wolfpack. That’s better than any of us would do against an actual wolfpack.

-	Pittsburgh is just as good.

-	Watching both the football team and the basketball get blown out simultaneously was a uniquely painful experience. It was as if my dentist, in the middle of a root canal, decided to take out my appendix while he was at it. I’ve found four other times both our football and basketball teams have lost on the same day: 12/7/68: Football lost to Joe Paterno’s first great Penn State team, 12-30 while the basketball team gave up 68 points in a 110-118 loss to Niagara. 11/26/16: The flag football game with Pitt: 61-76 and a 50-64 lost to South Carolina in New York. 11/16/18: The 3-36 loss to Notre Dame and the 65-80 loss to Oregon. And today.
