Nate has a police escort

I left out a lot of things I wanted to address about the game in the last post, and I'll get to them in a second, but here was the most interesting part I noticed in re-watching the game last night.

Nate Davis had a police escort.

Now that's superstar treatment. You know when you're a name when you have a policeman following you around.

Of course, I don't know what the circumstances were. I wonder if Nate received a death threat or something of the sort via Facebook or e-mail during the course of the week. Maybe CMU staffers didn't want Davis to get hit with an errand ice ball. Maybe they thought their fans would storm after him on the field. That I don't know. I was unable to find a photo anywhere of this and didn't use my camera to take a photo of it with my DVR. So if anyone has information, let me know.

A few more thoughts.

- Boy, it sure looks like Alex Knipp had that interception. On the one view, it looks like the ball hits the ground. But you can't see his hands. On the front replay, it really looks like he has his hands underneath the ball. There certainly wasn't enough to overturn it. Had Central come back and won that game, Ball State Nation would be throwing a huge hissyfit and rightfully so. The announcers showed their true colors on that without even once considering the possibility it was caught. That play was awfully close and they just dusted it off like it was obvious. Todd Harris and Ray Bentley suck ass.

- I have no clue about those 4th and 1 and 3rd and 1 plays. It does not look like we got them at all, yet somehow we did when they brought the chains out. But we'll take it.

- That last CMU drive was just as nerve-racking on the replay as it was live.
