Crazy ending to the half at the Hawaii Bowl as the officials messed up the clock twice. Cal up 21-10 and is setting up for a FG now.
I was surprised Ohio beat UNLV last night - UNLV looked like garbage

Hawaii's scheme I will always admire. Lots of RPO in that Run and Shoot now. Very undersized, but still going at it.

Hawaii Bowl was wild, Hawaii came back and won it 35-31. Exciting game. Had a big brawl after it ended too.

If that Hawaii QB was bigger, no doubt a P4 would've pooched him by now. He's good.

Hawaii has two wins over P4 schools this season. Both against the Atlantic. ACC has been truly terrible. You know it's bad when Miami seems to be carrying.

Getting to the point seeing who has the better walk-ons and waiting for the brawl are the only reasons to watch most NIT bowls.

If you're looking for a stone age football game, Northwestern vs Central Michigan could be one for you. Both teams goal is to break you running the ball and strong defense. Looking forward to this one myself.

After the first 10 minutes I knew Central Michigan was about to get dusted. A hard task of trying to go man to man against a Big 10 team as a G5 on the lines.

Expecting the same thing from New Mexico vs Minnesota?

New Mexico’s helmets look like the Dolphins helmets - nothing like their usual colors but pretty cool. Minnesota’s helmets are cool as well

Minnesota/New Mexico is a pretty good game, tied at 14 now as the Lobos just returned a kick for a TD and got the 2 pt play

What was up with that ensuing kickoff though?
