Scheelhaase's 4th quarter fumble

Here's what Nate had to say about the second fumble:
"Coach Beatty tells me all the time don't reach the ball out in those situations. I think it comes down to just me trying to do too much, not doing my job. You realize that it's third down and they get a stop there. I guess that's the instinct that comes out when you get stopped on 3rd-and-1: you want to do what you can to get the first down. You've got to do your job. You've got to do what is expected from you and I didn't do that. It's 100% my fault."
I feel for the kid, but then I don't. He's a third year junior starter. He simply cannot do that. Cost us any chance at a comeback.
