Beamer: Loved how the defense came out and got a turnover from a team that doesn't turn it over, did not tackle well and didn't fit some gaps that turned into explosive runs, a lot to correct and clean up.
Beamer: Had too many penalties last night which is not like them, loved the start the offense had and the lack of turnovers, did not like the way they finished with just seven second half points and not being able to put game away.
Beamer: Getting bowl eligible is not something he ever takes for granted, to do that after nine games considering their start and their defensive injuries something they are proud of but not satisfied.
