Their missed 2 FG's (plus PAT) cost them the game...we'll take it, though

[FeliSilvestris]

At least we had 3 impressive drives starting the 2H leading to 17 pts which showed what this O can do, at its best.

A sobering thought: the mighty VMI Keydets (an FCS team that won a combined grand total of 6 games over the past three seasons) scored 12 more points on BSU than what NU just did.
But at least we scored 7 more than what MAC doormat EMU scored on them.

They had a non-TD catch so take that off the board while you're at it.

We also had a missed FG, and a couple wide open TDs that were misses. Just as countable as missed FGs.

When you don't execute, it costs you. Northwestern's turnovers undoubtedly helped Ball State stay in the game.

Again, who is this "we" you refer to. Because it isn't NU.
