The score gave Concordia the lead and the eventual win in the ballgame. Injuries continued to impact the Cougars. Once again, running back Justin Green sat out the entire game. And defensive All-American Piercen Harnish was seen on the field for only one play when he lined up as protection on a punt. He sustained a noticeable injury in last week's loss to Marian. With the second conference loss, Saint Francis now finds itself in the anxious position of needing some help to make the postseason to try to defend their back-to-back national titles. A third loss will almost certainly move them out of any hope to play in the postseason. The two losses means they will likely not be their conference champion, and that means the Cougars will need to finish high enough in the rankings to receive an at-large invitation to play in the playoffs. (Every conference champion who finishes ranked in the top 20 in the final regular season poll will receive an automatic berth in the playoff field; there are 12 conferences, so it is possible that only four at-large invitations will be available.) Simply stated, the Cougar offense needs to get better production. From sputtering in recent games to nonexistent in the most recent contest, the Cougars have struggled on a significant number of recent offensive drives. In the Concordia game, quarterback Matt Crable attempted 34 passes for 229 yards and one interception. He ran the ball 12 times for a loss of 66 yards and one lost fumble. That's 46 plays for 163 yards net, or about 3.5 yards per play. The Cougars only ran 67 plays during the game. Whether the low output is attributed to poor blocking by the offensive line or poor execution on the part of the quarterback, or some combination of the two, things simply must get better. The Cougars' next test will be their next game. Undefeated and top-25-ranked Siena Heights will visit Fort Wayne for another conference match. The Siena Heights defense is another highly regarded group, and they will bring a challenge that will be comparable to the one faced in the two recent contests against Marian and Concordia. To get another shot at being the best, the Cougars will need to beat the best. It was an exciting Homecoming game, and those who stayed until the end were treated to one of the best comebacks in the history of Saint Francis Cougar football. With 1:17 left on the game clock, Siena Heights was leading by a score of 12-11.
