Devin & Jeremy in Japan (2016 Final Game)

Submitted by Carcajou on

Devin Gardner and Jeremy Gallon led the Nojima Rise to a convincing win, 69-7, in their final game of the 2016 season. Dubbed the "Copper Bowl", they easily defeated the Tokyo Gas Creators [really] in a rematch of a game earlier in the season.

Gardner was 15-24, 317 yards and four TDs in the air, adding two more on the ground.

When asked his plans for the evening, Devin said he'd try to get some sleep and then make it to the gathering of Michigan and tOSU alumni and fans at a sports bar in Tokyo for the 2AM kickoff of The Game.

[More details later- like Devin, I need to do the same]


GO BLUE!

QB is a position that it is hard to get noticed without a substantial body of work on video. I'm glad to hear that Devin is playing and seems to be enjoying his time in Japan. 

Of all of the great players who came through during the previous 7 years he really could have had a different path had he worked with different staff.

Please keep up the updates!

It's too bad that his talent was wasted while playing here. He was a warrior against Ohio but couldn't do it by himself, even without a broken foot.
