A few things ...
Portland State puts the wrapper on a star-crossed season tonight in Providence Park with a 7:30 p.m. game against Eastern Washington.
The Vikings are 3-7. Two of the losses were to FBS teams. Four of the other five were by a total of 32 points, and that includes a 98-yard pick-six by Southern Utah in the final minute that turned potential victory into a 45-31 loss.
If the ball invariably bounced right for PSU last season, when coach Bruce Barnum was the national FCS coach of the year, it has bounced the other way this season.
