Colorado School of Mines vs Ferris State | 2022 D2 Championship | 2022 College Football Highlights

[@infiniteaaron]

This game was crazy. Thanks for sharing the highlights! This is the first year I've been able to watch this. It's probably the same for many because of ESPN+, though, to be fair.

[@ericscottstevens]

Thanks VV What is scary is Ferris averaged 216 rush yards per game really had no apex group running back(s), true RB's Coby and Knighten gained 347 combined yards in 14 games. WR Marcus Taylor was a late addition to the RB duties as the injuries were mounting. Taylor could have probably rushed for over 1,000+ yards if he had been the primary running back from the start. Lost the starting QB Mitchell after game 1 with a lisfranc foot injury. Yet going forward in all the 3 backup QBs were able to bridge this with multi role effectiveness and willingness to share the responsibilities when called upon in different scenarios. Also big credit goes to this young offensive line that was clearing defenders off their marks at the point of attack. WR corps were all having injuries too during the year, losing X Wade early....lost Hunt-Thompson to recent suspension, still averaged 210 receiving yards per game. Several R/Freshman players were instrumental in filling new roles that were gold. Future wise only losing 2 or 3 starters from offense if Mitchell returns, (he should return by all reasonable expectations). Defense, pretty much set the tone for the season as the offense really had to find its groove with multiple ongoing adversities. Pass rush and edge pressure to the supreme hilt with 60 sacks and 71.9 rush yards allowed / 14 pts PPG allowed, opposing QBs were running for their lives in the pocket. The Ferris secondary was able to grab 16 interceptions and shut down opponents in the second half. ......Losing about 6 starters from this stellar defensive group, a lot of new faces for next years starting lineup.

Two national championships! Maybe Ferris State will think about putting the Michigan Wolverines on their schedule. If the Wolverines win their national championship!

[@ericscottstevens]

@@davids9520 There are football scheduling issues now with Ferris State. Non conference universities in DII have wised up and do not want to play the Bulldogs anymore in football. So it is getting harder to find out these non-conference opponents in the Midwest region. Lenior-Rhyne stepped up to the plate with a two game contract, but really they probably are thinking of ending it after 2023 by getting manhandled back in September. U of Montana was recently added on the Ferris schedule for September 16th 2023. It will pay $175,000 for the contest and Ferris will have to travel to Missoula and avoid any costly injuries heading into GLIAC play. Before any one wonders there is no way Ferris will move into FCS football any time soon. So something has to be figured out fast.

[@thefateshavewarned]

Go Ferris State! Gotta support our fellow Michigan schools!

[@lghrns]

Mines might need to find some brothas, Ferris had more speed, athleticism, talent and it was obvious after 1st play

[@harrisonmckenzie8357]

I initially read it as "Colorado School of Mimes."

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

That left me speechless.

[@PapiFlossy]

Bruh every yr I see Victor post a D2 championship game Ferris is always in it they gotta be the Bama of D2 😭

[@damedot_]

They pretty much are, won it back to back years and was in it 2019. 8 straight years of 10+ wins, which is 4th in the country regardless of division. They have some crazy talent on the team

[@elitrey7209]

Technically it's Valdosta. Ferris won their 2nd championship this year as a franchise

[@Ltjngkhh]

Yea but they would be destoryed by vanderbilt and south alabama😂

[@elitrey7209]

@@Ltjngkhh duh. But these teams can beat some d1 teams. They have so before.

[@patrickt6642]

Look like they run a flexbone offense.great game wish networks would show these games

[@incarnateflame3462]

like landmines??

[@FaithfulFumoFan23]

This is who Alabama plays out of conference.

[@infiniteaaron]

You mean out of division?

[@DPMixing]

@@infiniteaaron No they meant out of conference as in outside the SEC, southern eastern conference.

[@davids9520]

These teams are playing for a national championship, this season. Maybe they think that Alabama isn't worthy of being on their schedules! 😀

[@wilbert534]

In FBS how many times have they gotten the Heisman wrong? In this case they chose John Matocha for the Harlan Hill trophy and he was shown up badly by Ferris States Mylik Mitchell. Matocha went 5 passes into the game before completing his first pass. In the course of the game he threw two interceptions. One for a pick six and one at the end of the game. Ferris uses multiple QB's but their best passer, Mylik Mitchell is an exceptional passer for this level of football. Numerous times you see him throw pin point passes while on a dead run. Most QB's have to plant their feet to throw accurately. I attended Ferris in the early 1970's and our teens though fun to watch never came close to the caliber these last few years!

[@PS2542]

Hey moron, it’s a comprehensive season award. The Mines QB threw 52 TD’s, had 23 TD’s in the playoffs alone. Get a clue.

[@BooksForever]

Mines Crowd: “That’s alright! That’s okay! You’re gonna work for us someday!”

[@eddieleejoseph2998]

Whats that supposed to mean?

[@BooksForever]

@@eddieleejoseph2998 - it’s a traditional Mines cheer that stretches back many decades that the crowd would chant whenever the other team scored a touchdown. Mines perennially had losing seasons so the alumni had fun with the facts. Another popular cheer (when Marv Kay was head coach was: “Give ‘em hell, Marv! “Give ‘em hell, Marv! “Hell… just give ‘em Marv.”

[@BeerDrinker574]

Ferris has an NFL player from that team, on the Titans, Caleb Murphy, and he’s gonna make their roster for sure. Dudes been eating in the preseason.

[@stevenmcghee3983]

I think Ferris should have a chance against an FCS school😭

[@jollyomeatLA]

Colorado mines blew out Sam Houston state back in like 2014 when they went on to win d2 championship

[@SoooVids]

It was Pueblo not mines

[@jackstoker8138]

They beat gvsu this year who is going fcs next year

[@MajorBased]

We got jobbed by The Montana Grizzlies last season 😂 17-10. Called so many false start penalties and called back a TD.

[@starguy2718]

Alabama, Georgia, and other "elite" programs schedule games against teams like these, to fluff up their win-loss records.

[@tylergoff1486]

has to be one of the dumbest comments I’ve read in a while.

[@Sillyvfx]

Set for Ferris state could beat most of the elite teams

[@josesalvador6929]

What high school is this?

[@damedot_]

McKinney ISD, it’s three HS that use the one stadium

[@gsman1]

Good one.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Go Mines, Go...go, oh never mind. Ferris State shut them down.

[@jamesdcarroll1]

College national championship being played in a high school stadium.

[@anthonyseitz8768]

What college did you go too?

[@eddiebellamy7605]

High school stadiums in Texas are nicer than college stadiums elsewhere. I’d rather have it in a smaller venue that looks full than a NFL stadium that’s half empty

[@jamesb9300]

Good job choosing bowl games so far again this year 😂

[@infiniteaaron]

What do you mean "so far?" Valiant has been doing this for years, better than any other highlight channel, in my opinion. There is a new small channel sharing all the FCS and lower games, though, that is doing a fantastic job with highlights as well.

[@brygilleland8970]

@@infiniteaaron what's the channel name

[@infiniteaaron]

@@brygilleland8970 I don't remember. Just look up an FCS game or two and it'll come up. The channel has like 4k subscribers.

[@MrProy33]

The FCS ought to be called Div 2, and this league should be Div3.

[@andrewblakeslee8709]

FCS teams are still division 1 so no, it shouldn’t be division 3.

[@chikushodiz91]

Are you new to the scene lol fcs are d1 schools

[@eddiebellamy7605]

Doesn’t work that way. FCS schools go the Big Dance in basketball, these schools have their own Tournament called the Elite 8

[@GitzenShiggles]

This is just above high school level.

[@robertnowak5444]

Chill dude, there’s a whole division between this and the hs level

[@PS2542]

You’re clueless, there are great players at the D-II level.
