GG Matt. Your defense dominated. We couldnt do anything. The first 2 drives endedin FGS and I knew we were in for a long day.

Good luck in the big game.

Great season for Tulsa. Far exceeded expectations. Im hoping for limited retirements to give it one more go.

great game and season Tarc.

Our defense really stepped up today. Tulsa is a better team with Andrews in there also.
Schultz did a good job running the show for us too. He played really well in a huge spot. Jamison scared me fumbling twice and one time in a crucial 3rd qtr drive deep in your end.

Congrats Matt and Kozure. Two straight weeks of DPOTY for Doyle, looks like Matt's dressing down of him did the trick.

Not sure who to root for in the championship. NWK has the NC nod and I have great respect for the Bulldogs, but If WVA wins I can claim that I was the last team to beat them

Congrats to both winners!

Tulsa: Great season! The Andrews injury might've been the impact play of the season for the IFL.

Great game, Mark. I knew that if I doubled Strong, the rest of my secondary would get torched, so I left Gutsche alone with him for most of the day and hoped he could handle him. Let's just say that didn't go well. I was hoping for some help from the pass rush, but that wasn't as much of a factor as I would have liked.

Knowing my secondary couldn't stop you, I still felt good about my chances to keep pace, and after the fortunate bounces I got in the beginning, I thought I would be able to trade TDs with you and keep that lead. Then my coach decided to call those two bizarre series where I ran the ball on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd down... At 14-all I knew I would need to score on nearly every possession and get some breaks, but we couldn't get it done.

Good luck against Matt. The Bulldogs are looking scary and he is probably still pissed about losing in the bowl, last season.

This was just a crazy game. We struggled in the beginning, then took over the game for the next two and and half quarters, then watched as you tied it. Special teams then set us up with great field position to give us a chance to kick a game winner, which we did.

After losing five straight during the regular season, I changed my roster up a little bit by cutting a few fringe prospects and signing a bunch of special teams specialists. They have really helped us the past four games.

Good game Jeffrey. Games against you are always interesting.
