St. John's up 4, 1:49 left, AU getting the ball. Come on Offense, let's get it done!!

Final score: St. John's 51-Aurora 47. It's not the result we were hoping for and there is no such thing as a moral victory, but the future looks bright. Zimbelman and Aurora's offense showed they are capable of competing with a top 10 team in the country and the defense has some playmakers that just weren't able to make that clutch play this time. Game lived up to the hype, excited to see where the program goes from here, sky's the limit!

Whale of a game by AU! Another 10-15 seconds on the clock, and it coulda been a different result. Hats off to AU for a tremendous effort.

Let me be the first Johnnie backer to say what a great game the Spartans played. In the Johnnies only other loss, they dominated statistically, and it was a bit of a fluke. This game the AU offense couldn't be stopped. Fun to watch. Well, at the end. I think Aurora must have lead for about 56 minutes out of 60. You have a lot to be proud of, and a lot to look forward to.

I will be curious how long Beebe stay at Aurora. Gotta think that a turnaround like what he did this past year will get noticed and some bigger programs will come lurking.

It was a really good game, super excited of where AU's program is at right now. Defense needs to be addressed, but your QB showed us why he won the Gagliardi as a junior. And your WRs-- Alston, Mohr and Hodge, I think -- are elite playmakers. And your O-line, with the exception of a few coverage sacks, made the game look like it was 7 on 7. Proud of my Spartans for the effort, but St. John's was the better team. Congratulations and good luck going forward in the playoffs! It would be nice to say we were knocked out of the playoffs by the 2019 National Champions  ;)

That sack at the 50 killed us. Johnnie's defense showed up when it needed to.

Oh yeah, bigger programs will be interested for sure. I'm hoping Beebe stays home in Aurora and continues to build up the program. But we'll have to wait and see.

Looking forward to doing battle with Aurora when my Green Knights come into the NACC in a couple years. Should be fun competition. Great showing today at SJU.

Hats off to Aurora for a great game today. You have a great QB who used his elusiveness to make many big plays.  I can't remember such a high scoring game on both sides of the ball in Collegeville in my 45 years of watching the Johnnies.  Congrats for a great game.  You have much to look forward to and your fans were great, too!
Go Johnnies!!!

That AU QB was a handful.  It's been a long time since the Johnnie defense was challenged like that.  A real heart stopper of a game.  You've got a great team, Spartans, and I reckon next season you will be given a lot of respect.

AU the Spartans are for real! This game will go down as one of the classics in Johnnie play off history, and that's saying a lot. We will see you next year in the season opener.
As of now they're on DOUBLE SECRET Probation!

Will AU be ranked in the final poll? If so...what?

21st...ish.
