Terrific effort by Brown. Most impressive were the two drives in the second half where Brown moved the ball on the ground, one a 17-play touchdown drive and the other almost as good.
The game could have gone either way, and URI may well have won but for some stupid penalties and a huge play by Brown DB Archie, forcing a fumble following a goal-line reception, with the ball going out of bounds for a touchback.
Brown almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, with a strange run play on 3d and short from the URI 7. We had been moving the ball well on the ground with our running backs, but we tried a WR run, which failed miserably and was followed by a missed field goal.
As for ESPN, it really needs to improve its game. The commercials are 50% louder than the broadcast, forcing constant adjustments given the constant commercials. I finally just muted the commercials. Further, the network nearly missed several plays because of its display, following a replay, of an Ivy logo with a whoosh sound. Provision of replays was also spotty. I suppose that doubling the price over the last several years should have improved the service, but these errors are just amateur hour.
