NW'ern +9.5 vs Texas Tech (ov/un 60.5) 1-1 Noon ET, TicketCity Bowl

[jlb1705]

Texas Tech TD might have just put this one out of reach for good. NW will have to respond in short order to stay alive.

Pick six for the kitties! Still have some of their nine lives left!

45-38 Tech, 5 minutes left

 

[jlb1705]

Holy shit! Pick six for NW'ern!

 

[jlb1705]

I think Tech has one more really dumb play left in them.

 

[jlb1705]

I swear that ball moved a half yard from the initial spot. First down Tech.

Wow...generous spot on 3rd and 1...to get the 1st.

 

[MaxBuck]

Northwestern pretty much defines the word, "scrappy."

3rd & long for the ballgame...

Run the ball. Punt it. Make them go 90 yards in 40 seconds with no timeouts.

That's exactly what they did. Smart move for a change from them. NW has a chance, though a very slim one.

Make that about 25 seconds after the punt play.

Make that about 25 seconds after the punt play.

Good call!

Alright Wildcats, 76 yards to go!

And a pass short of the first down wouldn't do it...but they'll get a break with a stoppage.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Funny thing with the reviews...players that need to stop the clock but can't get out of bounds should fumble the ball in a manner that calls for a review, but assures a good ruling.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Why the hell do you spike it?!!

You had 3 minutes to call a play...now you need 40 seconds?
