Meineke Bowl - West Va 31, N. Carolina 30 (Final)

[Jake]

Doesn't sound like much of a home advantage for the Heels. Lots of hayseeds, I mean, Mountaineers made the trip.

 

[Jake]

Wow, what a TD pass and catch for WVU. Plenty of fireworks in this one, early.

 

[BB73]

That drive was all Pat White. 3rd and 10, he beats a guy to get the corner and pick up a first down. Then he throws a great ball on a deep post for the TD.

14-7, WVU with a few minutes left in the 1st Q.

The over's looking good.

 

[Jake]

The over's looking good.

You can say that again.

Another long TD for UNC.

 

[BB73]

14-14 with almost 5 minutes left in the 1st. A trick play works for a long score for UNC. An end-around option pass burns the WVU secondary that's missing 2 starters.




The over's looking good.

 

[Palpie]

So are they playing 11 on 1 or something?

 

[BB73]

21-14 WVU, White hits another deep ball.

10 points in the rest of the game gets the over.

 

[OCBucksFan]

35 Points scored in the first quarter? Damn!

 

[Jake]

35 Points scored in the first quarter? Damn!

Almost 42.

 

[Brutus1]

35 Points scored in the first quarter? Damn!

Nice for those that took the over.

 

[BB73]

I'd say inconclusive as to whether the whole ball got out.

Safety.

 

[Best Buckeye]

Jmo But I think he got the whole ball out.

 

[BB73]

Good decision by Butch to kick the XP to go up 23-21.

 

[Jake]

Yeah, I was waiting to see if they'd be stupid and go for two, trying to get back in the magical world of sevens and threes.

Both teams squandered red zone chances in the second quarter. Bad INT by White late.

But 23-21 is what I wanted...a good game at the half.

 

[Palpie]

So what are the odds it ends 23-21, screwing all the over bettors who figured a 35 point first quarter meant a sure thing.
