Absolutely WILD second half

[@ryanbierley5158]

Congratulations from a Brockport State football alum!!! Great to see Empire 8 win it all!!!! 😎💪

[@cheerjim]

They can't even put this great game on ESPN or ESPN2! I think this championship game should be played in an indoor stadium somewhere. D3 deserves better.

[@ricklittle4617]

Live near the stadium walked to the game was a nice clear 50 degrees at 7 pm Football is an outdoor sport ❄️❄️❄️❄️🌈🌈

[@cheerjim]

You are correct and Salem is a great town for this championship. As a former cheer coach at UVA, I traveled to the Salem Civic Center for 20 yrs, judging D3 cheer competition. It was a great experience, and I hated when they took the D3 basketball final 4 out of Salem. @@ricklittle4617

Fun, entertaining football. Good defense, then good offense. Great job, Cortland!!!

[@jamessollazzo4860]

good defense?

[@robnyer8427]

Go Cortland. Proud to be an alum.

[@vengefulfork7169]

North central coach thinks it madden going for 2 on that last touchdown 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@aaronsanders7145]

And he ran the ball 😂

[@gavinhale8773]

Ran the same play just switch from a strong side run to a weak side run When I tell you we were behind yelling to kick 😂 especially after cortland called timeout and got a glimpse of what NCC wanted to do Also Zac Boyes was a man among boys last night

[@mudoni5160]

DUMB! You're the better team, kick the point.

[@DwayneIsKing]

@@aaronsanders7145 That blew my mind. I didn't mind him going for it per say (kinda did) but the playcall was absolutely brainless​

[@jasonbeedon9867]

Monster game. Two amazing teams. I think Cartland wanted it more. Grittier team!

[@marcllanes3483]

Why would you go for 2? Tie the game and go into OT. Bad play calling.

[@pattjoseph103]

Congrats to the Red Dragons! 🎉

[@11matt11]

Congrats to Cortland. For the last 70 years, everyone's favorite gas stop on the way to Canada. Good, friendly people.

[@davedonnelly8864]

That stop on the 2 point conversion! Wow!

[@nicestoriesnottherealstori3006]

Zac Boyes stats for this game were ridiculous he was 26 to 34 with 349 yards passing with 5 tds and was the leading rusher with 123 yards and no tds. That is like MVP quarterback level performance in that game.

[@Creaserunner]

Wow what a game. Go read dragons! Class of 90

[@Nox444]

Do these guys just really hate kicking field goals?

[@briansuprenant7921]

That’s what total commitment and a dream can do ! After the Susquehanna L they got mad and then they got going great and refused to lose. They will all walk together as National Champions for the rest of their lives. Thanks, men and well done!!!

[@Troygraham4937]

Great game not the outcome I wanted but great game

[@nelspas0191]

Great game

[@realleeltv8789]

Go Cortland 🔥

[@Dusty-ed5io]

Almost like North Central lost for underestimating Cortland by going for two idk, but it seemed like they was an over confident call . Good game though respect to both teams would love to see a bowl game between Harding vs Cortland vs the winner of Dupage vs Iowa Western.. Then the champion of that four team playoff play Jackson State who wasn't eligible for the fcs playoffs when they should've been for a couple year's, and this would be great to let scouts from NFL, CFL, USFL, and XFL get these kids recognition, because Cortland, and North Central both have NFL caliber QB's imo or atleast camp guys.

[@elwaymoran4613]

Is kicking field goals on 4th down illegal in D3?

[@kylecampbell7655]

So D3 is key word here kickers don’t have 40 yards in them most places

[@malafrsc]

Like I said I’m really glad the team won ;,my cousin won a national championship in girls lacrosse years ago when she went there; I mean when you are you national champion it’s special; I was fortunate to be a part of three of them at Mount Union and the last one meant a little bit more to me; because you never know if you’re ever gonna come back and just miss y’all go by Grove city playing teams when you’re supposed to and showing up when other teams think it’s going to be a cakewalk and curb stop you is great; maybe I’ll play with one of these guys in the arena football league;15 is a good WR;I’m glad it showed up and humbled that team from Illinois;It just goes to show you games are not played on paper and you can never underestimate anyone

[@Horror_Film_Aficionado]

Good game guys 🏈

[@edchilders2368]

Do you have the post game presser for either team? Thanks

[@VeeDragon22]

Lol, went for it on 4th down twice instead of kicking the fg...lose by 1, 😂😂

[@Wordlyfe334]

Good game

[@sweeperton]

Cortland - home to the best walmart in central ny

[@victordonofrio1611]

What a freaking game!!! Go RED DRAGONS!!!

[@J_Scotty]

Do they not have good kickers or why don’t they kick field goals

[@ricklittle4617]

When you score a TD on every drive usually you don’t kick many FG s

[@richardcoleman1427]

Be honest, with 90 seconds left on the clock i'd have kicked it. 90 seconds is a long time in football and 1 point lead may not have won it - 5-10 seconds go for it every time.

[@sagethereal]

JJ is just faster

[@nickiannucci4048]

6 is him
