Was that from the opinion section of the paper? Really poorly written and unprofessional.

Thought I saw somewhere that time of possession was Ohio 30:04 and App was 29:56. I wouldn't exactly call that winning time of possession. Also the ball wasn't stripped from Taylor.

Wow. I hope this is the alt weekly for that area, and I am going to assume it is. The writing is too weak for a primary newspaper, even in today's cut-to-the-bone newspaper climate. Lord help us if it isn't.

Ball was stripped from "Ike Smith" ? didn't know we had a guy with that name on the team. I don't really take any issue with the article linked above though.
The underdog dynasty article said the ball was stripped from "Taylor Lane" as well as having the halftime score wrong.

Seems like no one knows how to read a box score anymore.

Which is probably why they had the word 'winning' in quotations.

Part of me has to think that there communication issues between sideline was due to app fans being loud and proud! :lol:
