It also says a lot about how the weather can affect a game, and in this case, in favor of the guys who practice and play in the rain often.
Ha! that reminds me of when I was a kid, and actually followed the NFL at the time. To the best of my recollection, it seemed like the Vikings and Rams always met in the playoffs, and the Vikings took full home field advantage, beating the Rams in frigid weather. Then, one year, the Rams had home field advantage and their fans were licking their chops. then it rained - a lot - and the Vikings won.
some actual game comments though:
speaking of rain, did the kid miss the ball in Q2 due to a wet ball in end zone?
seems like Cam Green got hit helmet to helmet on the 360 spin
mayo beat but keeps his eyes on the receiver and tackles him in the only split second he could, otherwise the kid gets a TD
the girl at 51:39
Fitz coaching Pace after the long runback, presumably for ball security
Klock was actually covered well but he and Thor beat the guy, then his "leap" from the 2 yard line
2 bad spots, I think. One where Lees was thrown like 5 yards back then came forward and was tackled short. then a TO on next play. The other was Green, seemed past it then tackled and pushed back.
Did they delete the first half of the 4th quarter because boring? Tressel ball?
Thor comes out and the defense miraculously guesses we will run it wide and we lose 12 yards and almost turn it over
Utah down two scores and 30 seconds left - gives up. To me, try a long pass, hope for PI and quick score/go for 2. they just - gave up.
thanks for posting it. I miss NU football
