Bowl Games: Dec 27th

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

Future B1G team Maryland is down 4 to Marshall in the fourth quarter.

Minnesota vs Syracuse is on immediately after Maryland game. Will definitely be watching the Minny game.

 

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

Maryland will lose this one. It's 31-20 with 1:30 to go.

I'm at work but just turned on the Minnesota game. Go Gophers.

 

[BigJHawk]

Gophers being outplayed by 6-6 Syracuse team thus far.

 

[thetrza]

A couple bad calls, injuries or bad bounces to swing one game, and Iowa would be in this Texas Bowl tonight.

 

[RushTogether]

Future B1G team Maryland is down 4 to Marshall in the fourth quarter.

Minnesota vs Stanford is on immediately after Maryland game. Will definitely be watching the Minny game.

Yea?

 

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

Yea?

Lol Syracuse. Whoops. My mind must have been somewhere else.

 

[hawkfan1319]

Minnesota playing terrible. How did they get this many wins?

 

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

Jerry Kill has descended from the booth to coach from the sidelines for the second half.

The only time in sports where I care if the BIG does well is during bowl season so go Gophers.

 

[NCHawker]

this is a strength v strength game. I read that syracuse is decent against the run. Gophers only have 54 yds rushing so far.

First Downs	12	9
Total Plays	38	33
Total Yards	219	124
Passing	137	70
Rushing	82	54
Penalties	5 / 39	4 / 30

So, I saw that Cuse punted from the Minnesota 40....that was very B1G of them

 

[NCHawker]

Minny drive sputters out because they keep going back to the pass.

Minnesota at 11:53	SYR	MINN
1st and 10 at MINN 20	Philip Nelson pass incomplete.	7	3
2nd and 10 at MINN 20	Philip Nelson rush for 3 yards to the Minn 23.
3rd and 7 at MINN 23	Philip Nelson pass complete to David Cobb for 12 yards to the Minn 35 for a 1ST down.
1st and 10 at MINN 35	Philip Nelson pass incomplete.
2nd and 10 at MINN 35	Philip Nelson rush for 11 yards to the Minn 46 for a 1ST down.
1st and 10 at MINN 46	Philip Nelson pass incomplete.
2nd and 10 at MINN 46	David Cobb rush for no gain to the Minn 46.
3rd and 10 at MINN 46	Philip Nelson pass incomplete to Donovahn Jones.
4th and 10 at MINN 46	Peter Mortell punt for 41 yards, returned by Ritchy Desir for no gain to the Syrac 13.

The punt inside the 10 though very B1G. Iowaesque.

 

[spliff45]

I'll take Jake Christensen over Minny's QBs

 

[DJL]

I don't understand how this team won 8 games.

 

[DJL]

Touchdown Syracuse. Game is just about over even though it's only the 3rd quarter. Bad bad loss for the Big 10.

 

[NCHawker]

I don't think Minny's players really believe they should win.

Phase 1. cant win
Phase 2. can win
Phase 3. should win

well, as I write this, they have a drive going on now.

 

[NCHawker]

read option!

 

[DJL]

Touchdown Gophers. They have life!

 

[NCHawker]

Wake up Gophers !!!
