I feel the need to point out that Auburned needed 5 picks to even be in the game at this point....

Damnit, ballgame.

Act like you've been there before Eagles, err plains people, err Tigers.

They also had a lot of needless penalties and threw 2 picks themselves. Your point?

Yep.
Auburn made the plays when given the opportunity but Kafka just threw too many bad balls for NU to win.

Not a big deal, not necessary but I've seen that celebration so many times.

Your tigers appear to go for celebration penalties every time they score.

Wasn't the picks themselves, but the nature of the picks.

2 in the endzone (one for a touchdown), and one that set up a 30yd drive.

If you give each team the benefit of the doubt on those picks in opponents territory, the score is 35-14 NW.

This just in, Mike Kafka is bad.

 

[Meyer]

Great blitz pickup by the running back.. Good throw.

 

[TheRob8801]

Ya gotta give it to these guys...they're still fighting...

Only two today IIRC. One for high stepping into the endzone, the other for dunking the ball through the FG post. Nothing I'm concerned about.

Now if they're getting in the other team's faces about it and being bad sports that's another thing.

Mike Kafka is just good enough to get you beat no matter which team you play for, his or the other.

 

[jwinslow]

Better team won. Too bad the final score won't reflect how close this was.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Third 4th down try this drive.

 

[Meyer]

Hey it ain't over just yet
