He also made a big third down tackle during the third quarter to stop an EMU drive.  Prior to his tip we were discussing in the stands why he was not seeing more action.  In fact, we were yelling for his entrance into the game prior to that play.  He then comes in for one play and makes the tip . We all are amazed why he is not playing more.

Against the team that runs the ball more, like EMU, you will see him less. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Bobcatzblitz General User Member Since: 7/21/2010 Post Count: 1,739 Status: Offline     RE: Thank You Mr Nathan Carpenter    Posted: 11/2/2012 4:38:01 AM  Yes thanks Nathan for the obvious plays he has made but also point out the fact that he is in the game and in situations that cost Ohio BIG..as in he cannot cover the pass downfield. I blame mostly the coaches for allowing this and yes he has made some HUGE turnovers but he has also been a liability and put in TERRIBLE spots by the coaches..it's not his fault he is 5'8 but coaches have to put him in the best situation possible. Him and Kristoph on the same side of the field...just disgusting and as it did with the NIU game last year come back to bite us. But yeah great kid with a huge heart.
