Elijah Mitchell

[BeauCajun]

Proud of that guy. Truly feels like one of our own.

That’s double for some of us. GEAUX Bobcats and Cajuns.

Mitchell JV games? I don't remember him every playing a JV game.

[CajunVic]

. . . sometimes memory and mind are both slow . . . Mitchell was not slow yesterday . . . proud of him . . .

[Big Buds]

Was utterly shocked when he went out of bounds. I believe he thought he had a shot of taking it to the house and decided to stay on the outside. So happy it didn’t end up costing him.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Yeah I’m sure he didn’t mean to step out of bounds. Things like that happen all the time in the moment.

I think the Cowboy defense would have done it for him anyway.

[NOCajun]

As much as I hate SF, I feel compelled to pull for them, now. Fun coincidence that Mitchell and Brock Purdy are on the same team now after the CAJUNS, with Mitchell, went up to Iowa State and beat them, with Purdy!!

GEAUX 49ERS!!!

The dude says he remembers calling some of his JV games.

I guess he could be mistaken. Not sure it really matters…

It was either step out of bounds or not get the first down. He got the first down & His momentum carried him OB. The first down won them the game flat out. There wasn't going to be a disaster because Dallas sent the message they were gonna throw their way to a win which was sure fire recipe for losing the game. And yes Dak Prescott is extremely overrated, especially in his own mind.

It is very easy to trust one memory over another . . . he is official . . .

Not true, he got the first down by allot, he should have slid at that point, but as someone else correctly pointed out, Elijah felt he could have scored and that was what he was trying to do. It was 2 & 9, he got well over 9 yards, if he gets down right away after the first down the game is over at that point.

Go to the 13:32 mark of the above video, you can clearly see all he had to do was slide down and get touched and he would have been fine. He made a mistake, that is okay it did not cost his team. In the future I am sure he was told get down young man.

For how close he was to the sideline they sure seemed to go out of their way to say he made a mistake. Im not convinced. I havent seen an RB slide that close to the sideline. He was stepping on the hash lines. When someone slides one leg bends and one arm falls back, either could have still touched sideline even with a slide.

The other option was to cut back to the middle of the field once he had the first down and give yourself up.

As I stated he had the first by a decent amount at that point.

[R1Letterman]

Instead of trying to say he did something wrong, too bad announcers didnt spend their time talking about this day: (how many times has a p5 qb that lost to the Cajuns taken an NFL team to conf final?)
