I got to give credit to FIU though. The play to give them the go-ahead touchdown was pretty impressive. Here is Matt Robertson's description of the play from the article in Saturday's Jonesboro Sun:
Hilton took a handoff from quarterback Paul McCall, dropped the football and had to reverse his field to pick it up as it bounced in the opposite direction. Running wildly to his left and under heavy ASU defensive pressure, Hilton launched a rocket to Mertile all alone in the end zone. Rivest’s point-after put the Golden Panthers up by the slimmest of margins.
Where was the defense on this play? Number one rule about protecting a lead late in the game. NEVER LET A MAN GET BEHIND YOU. Mertile was wide open down field. Number two rule: expect the unexpected.
I do not know enough of the English language to describe how angry I am that we loss this game. We just blew pretty much any chance we had of winning the Sun Belt.
ASU needs to grow some balls and start firing people who are unable to do their job. Period.
