[NU Sports] Sad

[John Labbe]

I completely disagree.  I thought our offense looked MUCH improved over the past three weeks.  We should have yanked Kafka after he was injured.  After that injury, he wasn't getting anything done.  He was previously moving the ball quite nicely.  He had over 100 rushing yards and the team had almost 300 rushing yards.  The D held them scoreless throughout the second half (Nevada's one TD in the second half was by the Nevada D).  We must have been watching different games.  Obviously, the turnovers were killers, but I'd rather see some offensive production with a few turnovers than a few turnovers with no production.

I won't go so far as to say the refs cost us the game, but I neither think the non-fumble was indisputable nor was the kickoff recovery a reviewable play.  The kickoff didn't really matter because we likely weren't going to make a comeback at that point, but if it wasn't a reviewable play, it shouldn't have been reviewed.
