Saturday Bowl Games
Early in the second quarter Rutgers is hanging with ND 10-10. The Rutgers run D has actually held up decently but their corners play about as tight as ours do.

Go blue!

In 5 years, one of these teams will be a secondary rival, and it won't be ND. Think about that.
December 28th, 2013 at 1:11 PM ^
Rutgers has to become relevant first for that to happen. I don't consider Indiana, Illinois, or Purdue to be secondary rivals even though they are in the Big Ten. Also, to hell with ND.
December 28th, 2013 at 1:06 PM ^
The line that I can remember on the Pinstripe Bowl actually has Rutgers coming into this game as a 2 TD underdog.
After that deflection / interception, I think we just saw what passes for the Kyle Flood Stare Of Death. In exchange, Notre Dame promptly does only enough to get an FG out of the turnover - I think they gained maybe 1 yard on that drive actually.
On a per snap basis, Rutgers is actually moving the ball a little better than ND at the moment - 6.3 yards to 5.3 yards.
December 28th, 2013 at 1:06 PM ^
I'll take...
Rutgers +15
North Carolina -2.5
Miami (FL) +5.5
Michigan +6.5
December 28th, 2013 at 1:11 PM ^
Screw Notre Dame!! I would be so happy if Rutgers found a way to pull this one out and win.
December 28th, 2013 at 1:22 PM ^
Poor pass by Rutgers there or it's an easy TD. I personally think they should have gone for it on fourth. It's a bowl game and you are a big underdog. Just go for it.
December 28th, 2013 at 1:25 PM ^
Awful pass. Rutgers secondary is awful.
December 28th, 2013 at 1:46 PM ^
winkwink.
EDIT: Yup, this one's a blowout at halftime. Guess I will go get some exercise rather than watch the second half.
December 28th, 2013 at 1:24 PM ^
Pretty big games for me today with bowl mania. I have:
ND for a 33
Cinci for a 10
Louisville for a 19
Michigan for a 13
10 and 13 aren't that big of points but those games are pretty 50/50 in terms of winners selected in the money pool I'm in.
December 28th, 2013 at 1:39 PM ^
After going 3-for-11 so far I'm giving up on Bowl Mania faster than I gave up on my Matt Ryan centered fantasy team
December 28th, 2013 at 1:25 PM ^
That's a fabulous look for them.
December 28th, 2013 at 1:28 PM ^
I am really going to miss Touchdown Tommy.
December 28th, 2013 at 1:31 PM ^
Didn't Gholson have like three turnovers against us in one half last year before he was benched? I think the turnover bug may linger on in South Bend.
December 28th, 2013 at 1:47 PM ^
looks like he's aged 30 years?
December 28th, 2013 at 1:36 PM ^
Both teams could be better on offense. Nice that Rutgers is in it at least
December 28th, 2013 at 1:52 PM ^
Are horrendous. If they're going to be shiny, don't try to make them look beat up from the first play.
December 28th, 2013 at 2:08 PM ^
That was some epically uninterested tackling right there. Wow.
December 28th, 2013 at 2:12 PM ^
Announcers for pinstripe bowl are terrible. Calling wr
December 28th, 2013 at 2:13 PM ^
??
Anyway
Calling wrong team names often and can't even do simple math.
December 28th, 2013 at 2:18 PM ^
Not that it excuses anything because I'm sure they have monitors, but I wonder where the announcers are sitting. If they're sitting where announcers normally sit in Yankee stadium, that would give them a very usual view.
December 28th, 2013 at 2:21 PM ^
Pathetic effort by the Rutgers D. What a joke.
December 28th, 2013 at 2:29 PM ^
More like pathetic effort by ND's offense. They should have at least 35 points by now.
December 28th, 2013 at 2:29 PM ^
Mental mistake by Rutgers lets nd off the hook for a missed field goal. Second one goes thru. 16-13.
December 28th, 2013 at 2:32 PM ^
That was a bullshit call. The Rutgers guy was lying on the ground and the ND kicker into him.
December 28th, 2013 at 2:34 PM ^
by the fact that Capital One Bowl Week is way longer than a week. This bugs other people too, right? Or is it just me.
December 28th, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
I saw that last night and I was very confused.
December 28th, 2013 at 2:39 PM ^
ND really sucks if they can't torch this Rutgers defense. Their secondary is horrible, every decent QB has had a field day on them.
December 28th, 2013 at 2:41 PM ^
I think Rutgers is running out of gas. Too many missed opportunities in the first half. That halfback pass was a horrible play call.
December 28th, 2013 at 2:54 PM ^
Seriously pathetic effort by the ND offense.
December 28th, 2013 at 2:57 PM ^
Nd has been awful on kick coverage. But Rutgers can't do anything with it when they get good field position
December 28th, 2013 at 3:00 PM ^
Rutgers
Please stop shooting yourself in the foot. Almost literally.
December 28th, 2013 at 3:01 PM ^
If not for that retry field goal nd got this game would be tied. Encouraging for Rutgers. I guess.
December 28th, 2013 at 3:36 PM ^
I'm not a fan of either uniform but I do like seeing both teams wear their home jerseys when the colors aren't he same. I wish Michigan and osu did this
December 28th, 2013 at 4:07 PM ^
Including RU and MD, we're now 0-3.
December 28th, 2013 at 4:21 PM ^
It's still sad that both those schools are part of the Big Ten.
December 28th, 2013 at 5:44 PM ^
What a boring Belk Bowl. Hopefully the Russell Athletic Bowl is more exciting.
December 28th, 2013 at 6:06 PM ^
Tommy Tuberville is one of the few coaches in college football I will root against.
December 28th, 2013 at 7:21 PM ^
I know everyone is watching basketball now but this game could be a good one. Miami got a safety early but Louisville has had the better play since. Miami just turned it over on downs at midfield. 3-2 cardinals.
December 28th, 2013 at 7:27 PM ^
Looked at ESPN and saw the score was 3-2. I was like, "Screw baseball, where's the footb...? Ah. Oh."
