We didn't lose and become a national story. I am sure the highlights will be shown on ESPN and we will rightfully take a little jousting for barely beating Villanova but the game will fly under the radar now. Also, thank goodness we have a bye next week if we play like at again I am done with coaches.
 
That was the exact sort of game we used to find a way to lose. We also didn't turn the ball over and though we had our share of penalties, non were as costly/stupid at Villanova's 2 roughing calls in critical situations.
 
Great win. Struggled thru against a great opponent , regardless of their classification. Wilson looked very capable , trick play worked , Irv Phillips looks like the best playmaker the Orange have had in a long time and the team now knows how hard they are going to have to work to achieve their season goals.

What didn't we do to find a way to lose. I'd argue we did everything humanly possible to lose.

One silver lining is that big programs aren't exactly trying to lure McDonald away after that turd. So at least he'll be recruiting for us. Unfortunately he's also calling plays.
 
We...won? Shouldn't have taken that sleeping pill after the field goal...hey, at least I didn't take a whole bottle.

Sure would've seemed foolish in retrospect at my funeral.
 
Side note: will be fun watching that team win it all. If Robertson doesn't get killed out there.

Nova is a 1-AA playoff team but they aren't Sam Houston State, Eastern Washington, South Dakota State, or Northern Iowa.
They won't win it all. We sucked and beat a top 10 FCS team but the only solace I will take is we won't be reminded nationally about a loss to an FCS team.
