Great game at Kinnick Saturday night but damn if the very last play in regulation wasn't a heartbreaker. It'll take another strong bottle of booze to get that nasty taste out of my mouth and I promise to get to it once I'm past my Sunday/Monday hangover. Hat's off to both squads for an epic B10 battle ..... just hand the Heisman trophy to Saquon Barkley now and get it over with . On to the contest results.........
This week's high score produced a logjam inside the Winner's circle. 10 of the 40 contestants tied with the top score of 7-3, they are: jvd77, dbrocket, HawkNole09, L Lawliet, millah_22, IAFootball#1, jimney1974, qrtr, LBlindHawk, and Hawkeye_4_Life. All of the top scorers were entered into the Tie-Breaker machine to settle the matter. The winner would have needed to forecast a big game for Penn State's offense.
,,,,and this week's winner is qrtr (TB 435) who was the most bullish on the Lions' total offense at Kinnick (TB = 579). Congrats. Coming in a close 2nd is jdv77 (TB 430), just one more Barkley run away from claiming the title.
