The players and coaches gave it a great run but I think fatigue started to set in and they lost it in the third quarter to a good Idaho team.
As I said on the air, 18 wins is a good season especially when you consider they lost two starters before the season began for the year; played a tough non-conference schedule against teams from bigger conferences with better players and with bigger athletic budgets; played three schools ranked in the top 25 at various points this year (Northwestern, Michigan State and Texas El-Paso) and lost six conference games by a total of 12 points.
The players have nothing to hang their heads about.
In the next few days I'll be posting "a look ahead" to next season looking at the roster and what I know at this point about the schedule.
