    On a bye week, so jumping right into it. Taking a look around the nation, in the Top 25, #11 Texas beats West Virginia 24-21 in overtime. In the game of the week, #19 TCU knocks off #15 Oklahoma 20-14.

    For our readers, souljahbill, Southern Miss sits 10-2 (7-1 C-USA). Jaymo, Arizona State ends their season 4-8 (3-6 Pac-12). Mors, West Virginia falls to 7-5 (5-4 Big 12) with a 24-21 overtime loss to #11 Texas. Jeff, #3 Ohio State sits 10-2 (8-0 Big Ten). Other teams of interest, Arkansas State improves to 8-4 (6-1 Sun Belt) with a 28-17 win over Louisiana-Lafayette, to clinch yet another Sun Belt title.

    In Big East action, all teams end with a bye week.


    Looking at the current standings, in the East Division, it's Connecticut and South Florida (both 5-3) on top, followed by Temple (4-4), Central Florida and Navy (both 3-5) and East Carolina (2-6). Connecticut wins the head to head tiebreaker thanks to a 41-24 win over South Florida in week 12. In the West Division, SMU and Tulsa (both 7-1) sit on top, followed by Houston (6-2), Cincinnati (4-4) and Memphis and Tulane (both 1-7). SMU wins the head to head tiebreaker thanks to their 14-13 win this week.

    Looking at undefeated teams left, every team ends the year with at least one loss.

    Turning to a more sadistic watch, who is still winless. Akron (0-12) and Utah State (0-12) both wrap up winless seasons in 2019.

    Teams getting their first win this week were: None.

    Taking a look at the new Top 25 Coaches Poll, Auburn (41 first place votes) remains #1, Nebraska (20 votes) remains #2, Ohio State remains #3, Virginia Tech remains #4 and Notre Dame remains #5. Arkansas remains #6, Tennessee remains #7, SMU remains #8, NC State remains #9 and Penn State remains #10. Texas remains #11, Utah remains #12, Virginia remains #13, Houston remains #14 and Tulsa climbs one to #15. LSU climbs one to #16, TCU jumps two to #17, Alabama remains #18, USC moves up one to #19 and Eastern Michigan jumps one to #20. Georgia climbs one to #21, Oklahoma falls seven to #22, Georgia Tech remains #23, Miami remains #24 and Cincinnati (223 points) remains #25. No one dropped out this week. Looking at Others Receiving Votes, San Diego State (197 points) is #26, followed by Fresno State (114), Oregon (64), Western Michigan (47) and Arkansas State (30) to round out the Top 30. Other teams getting votes this week include Wyoming (12) and Troy (10).

    Looking at the new Top 25 Media Poll, Auburn (44 first place votes) remains #1, Nebraska (21 votes) remains #2, Ohio State remains #3, Notre Dame remains #4 and Virginia Tech remains #5. Arkansas remains #6, Tennessee remains #7, SMU climbs one to #8, NC State jumps one to #9 and LSU falls two to #10. Utah climbs one to #11, Penn State jumps one to #12, TCU drops two to #13, Tulsa remains #14 and Houston remains #15. Texas remains #16, Virginia climbs one to #17, USC jumps one to #18, Alabama moves up two to #19 and Georgia remains #20. Georgia Tech climbs one to #21, Eastern Michigan jumps one to #22, Oklahoma falls six to #23, Miami remains #24 and Cincinnati (241 points) remains #25. No one dropped out this week. Looking at Others Receiving Votes, San Diego State (213 points) is #26, followed by Fresno State (150), Oregon (89), Western Michigan (44) and Wisconsin (7) to round out the Top 30.

    In the new BCS rankings #1 Auburn (1.000), #2 Nebraska (0.995), #3 Ohio State (0.989), #4 Virginia Tech (0.981), #5 Notre Dame (0.981), #6 Arkansas (0.973), #7 Tennessee (0.967), #8 SMU (0.959), #9 Penn State (0.943) and #10 NC State (0.941).

    Taking a look at the Heisman race,
    Fresno State HB Eric Tyson is #1 (LW: #1), Auburn QB J.J. Thomas is #2 (LW: #2), Notre Dame QB J.R. White is #3 (LW: #3),Georgia HB Justin Jones is #4 (LW: #4) and Nebraska HB Ronnie Mayfield is #5 (LW: #5). No one dropped off of the Heisman Watch list this week.

    Looking at the bowl picture, 1 more team punched their tickets this week, giving us 78 teams that have reached the 6 win plateau, while the remaining 2 teams saw their bowl hopes end, to leave 78 teams total fighting for 68 bowl slots. 10 teams are getting screwed this year.

    Looking at the newest bowl projections, if they hold out, it's a trip to the Champ Sports Bowl for Tulsa fans, taking on #9 NC State (10-2, 7-2) out of the ACC. The AutoZone Liberty Bowl would feature Southern Miss (10-2, 7-1 C-USA) matching up with Connecticut (6-6, 5-3 Big East). #3 Ohio State (10-2, 8-0 Big Ten) would head west to the Rose Bowl and a showdown with #19 USC (10-2, 7-1 Pac-12). The New Orleans Bowl would feature North Texas (8-4, 5-3 C-USA) vs. Arkansas State (8-4, 6-1 Sun Belt). And the Holiday Bowl would have West Virginia (7-5, 5-4 Big 12) matching up with Arizona (7-5, 6-3 Pac-12).

    Looking at the BCS projections, the Rose Bowl would feature #3 Ohio State (10-2, 8-0 Big Ten) against #19 USC (10-2, 7-1 Pac-12). The Sugar Bowl has #6 Arkansas (11-1, 8-1 SEC) matching up with #8 SMU (11-1, 7-1 Big East). The Orange Bowl has #4 Virginia Tech (11-1, 8-1 ACC) matching up with #5 Notre Dame (11-1). The Fiesta Bowl features #17 TCU (9-3, 7-2 Big 12) and San Diego State (9-3, 7-2 Mountain West). And in the national championship game, #2 Nebraska (11-1, 7-1 Big Ten) takes on #1 Auburn (11-1, 8-1 SEC).

    Tough break man. No BCS bowl appearance, but still a damn good season for ya. Certainly can't knock 10-2 and ranked in the top 15.

    Yeah, it was ultimately a good season. While a BCS bowl would have been nice, I more desired the chance to add a Big East title to my trophy case, even if the Big East isn't as prestigious a conference these days. Maybe in the future...

    So there you have it. Our loss to SMU costs us a chance at the Big East title and a BCS bowl, instead sending Tulsa to the Champs Sports Bowl for a showdown with #22 Georgia Tech.

    Elsewhere, Southern Miss takes on South Florida in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, Ohio State meets up with Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl, West Virginia tangles with Utah in the Holiday Bowl and Arkansas State meets North Texas in the New Orleans Bowl.

    #1 Nebraska takes on #2 Auburn in the National Championship Game. One game of interest, the Music City Bowl, where we have a rivalry showdown between South Carolina and Clemson. South Carolina beat Clemson 42-35 in week 14 to wrap up the regular season for both teams. Will Clemson get revenge?

    Looking through the standings, 78 teams made it bowl eligible with only 68 slots. Ten teams got screwed this year.

    And a look at who got screwed out of a bowl game this year:

    ACC

    - (6-6)
    - (6-6)


    Big East

    - (6-6)


    MAC

    - (6-6)


    Mountain West

    - (6-6)


    Pac 12

    - (6-6)
    - (6-6)


    Sun Belt

    - (7-5)


    WAC

    - (8-4)
    - (9-3)



    So there you go. For the second straight year, Central Michigan gets screwed out of a bowl game. New Mexico State, despite being bowl eligible for the first time since God knows when, ends shut out of a bowl with the highest non-bowling record of 9-3. Also, Washington, who started the season 6-0 and was high-ranked, ends up crashing to a 6-6 finish and completely misses a bowl game.

    Champs Sports Bowl

    #11 VS #22



    Game Notes

    --- Here we were once again, the conclusion of another season. A rough ending to the season saw us lose our final game of the year, dropping to second in the West Division, miss out on a chance at a Big East title and a potential BCS bowl game, falling down to the Champs Sports Bowl against #22 Georgia Tech.

    Our rushing defense would be put to its toughest test of the year, going up against the #1 rushing offense of the Yellow Jackets, who came in averaging 335.1 yards/game on the ground. Obviously, their passing game was horrible, ranked #119 with only 119.3 yards/game passing. If we could shut down their running game, we’d be in great position. If they were able to run roughshod over us, it could be a long day.

    While Georgia Tech was very one-sided on offense, they were more even on defense, ranked #15 in total defense (345.0 yards/game), #39 in rush defense (167.7 yards/game) and #17 in pass defense (177.2 yards/game). Those numbers boded well for Oliver and Silva on the ground, but Stephens would have to get us going through the air to give us our best chance of winning. We won the coin toss and elected to kick.

    No return on the opening kickoff gave Georgia Tech the ball at their 25 yard line to start the game. Our defense got a very early dose of the rushing attack of Tech, as Brandon Terrell took the ball on first down for an 8 yard gain, followed by a 5 yard carry to get a first down at the 38 yard line. A one yard rush by Andrew Walker was followed with a 5 yard rush by Mickey Charles to leave third and four. Our defense would rise to the occasion on third down, tackling Kyle Thompson for a one yard loss to leave the Yellow Jackets punting on fourth and 5. A fair catch by Eric Hayden on the 45 yard punt got us started at our 11 yard line.

    Will Oliver would put on a rushing clinic of his own, gaining 12 yards on the first down carry for a first down at the 23 yard line. A pair of rushes by Oliver went for gains of 5 yards and three yards to leave us with third and two. Putting the ball into the hands of Eric Silva, the middle linebacker was able to make a desperation tackle and spin Silva down for a two yard gain, but we would end up on the short side of the stick, left with fourth and inches. A fair catch on the 45 yard punt gave Georgia Tech back the ball at their 22 yard line.

    Thompson got the drive started with a three yard rush, before an incomplete pass by Walker left Georgia Tech with third and 7. Terrell would give it his best shot, picking up 6 yards on the third down carry, but was brought down shy of the first down line to leave fourth and inches. A 7 yard return by Hayden on the 42 yard punt got us back in action at our 33 yard line.

    Oliver received the handoff on first down, breaking loose into the secondary and nearly breaking free for a touchdown, the safety quickly crashing down to bring Oliver down for a 15 yard gain and a first down at the 48 yard line. The defense was ready and waiting for us on first down, Oliver tackled for only a one yard gain to leave second and 9. Lining up in the shotgun on second down, the pass from Brad Stephens intended for Joe Vaughn was broken up, bringing up third and long. Hit as he threw, Stephens was able to get the third down pass off and into the hands of Ryan Lewis for a 16 yard gain, moving the chains to the Georgia Tech 35 yard line. Firing a pass deep down the right sideline, Hayden was able to haul in the ball for a 31 yard completion before being shoved out of bounds by the safety at the four yard line, giving us first and goal. A pass on first down intended for Vaughn ended up broken up. Trying to connect with Hayden on second down, the cornerback was able to get his hands on the ball and knock it incomplete to bring up third and goal. Third time would prove the charm, Stephens dumping the pass into the back of the end zone and into the hands of Hayden for a four yard touchdown to strike first blood and give us a 7-0 lead with 3:47 left in the first quarter.

    A 15 yard return on the kickoff got Georgia Tech lined up at their 35 yard line. Thompson started the drive with a 6 yard rush, followed by a gain of four to get a quick first down. Walker would keep the ball on first down, picking up 5 yards on the play. That gain would end up quickly erased as Walker tried to pass on second down, our defense sacking him for a 10 yard loss to bring up third and 15. An incomplete pass on third down would bring out the punt team. A 6 yard return by Hayden on the 50 yard punt returned possession to our offense at our 15 yard line.

    Oliver took the ball on first down, fighting his way to a four yard gain. Oliver would strike pay dirt on second down, busting through a hole up the middle as both safeties blitzed. The middle linebacker failed to close the hole, nor make a tackle, allowing Oliver to bust into the open field, racing the defense all the way to the end zone for an 81 yard touchdown to give us a 14-0 lead with 1:52 to go in the first quarter.

    A touchback on the kickoff got the Yellow Jackets back on the field at their 25 yard line. It was a terrible started for Tech as Walker and Terrell were both tackled for two yard losses to leave third and 14. A 5 yard rush by Walker on third down would bring yet another drive to a close, the punt team coming out on fourth and 9. A fair catch by Hayden on the 49 yard punt got us lined up from our 25 yard line.

    Going into the air on first down, the Georgia Tech defense would get a big welcome to our aerial attack, as Stephens dropped back on first down and launched a huge pass down the left sideline to Vaughn for a 68 yard gain, the safety finally bringing Vaughn down at the GT 7 yard line to set up first and goal. A pass over the middle to Hayden was broken up on first down. A second try with a throw into the end zone killed our drive as safety Brad George intercepted the pass, kneeling down for the touchback to set Georgia Tech up at their 20 yard line.

    Taking over after the interception, Walker picked up three yards on the ground, followed by a 5 yard rush by Thompson to leave third and two. Thompson would get the job down with a four yard rush, moving the chains to the 32 yard line, where the first quarter would come to an end, our lead 14-0.

    Opening up the second quarter, Walker rushed for a 5 yard gain, followed by a four yard carry by Terrell to leave third and one. The train would keep chugging along on third down as Terrell picked up 9 yards to get a first down at midfield. A three yard rush by Terrell was followed by an incomplete pass from Walker, leaving the Yellow Jackets looking at third and 7. Thompson would again give it his best shot, but come up short, a 5 yard rush leaving the punt team trotting out on fourth and two. A touchback on the 51 yard punt got us lined up at our 20 yard line.

    Oliver took the ball on first down, running for a 6 yard gain, before picking up 8 yards around the right tackle to get a first down at the 34. Oliver kept pounding away with a four yard rush, followed by an 8 yard gain by Silva to get the first down at the 46. Oliver came back in on first down, rumbling and stumbling his way to a 9 yard gain, followed by a carry for a 7 yard pickup to move the chains to the Georgia Tech 38. Changing it up on first down, we lined up in shotgun, Stephens throwing a pass over the middle to Vaughn for a 20 yard completion and a first down at the 19 yard line. Chucking up a pass into the corner of the end zone, Hayden was able to pull it down for a 19 yard touchdown to increase our lead to 21-0 with 4:16 left before halftime.

    A 23 yard kickoff return got Georgia Tech starting from their 25 yard line. Going into the air straight away, three incomplete pass led to a three and out, Georgia Tech floundering on offense. A 7 yard return by Hayden on the 46 yard punt got us back on the field at our 36.

    It would be Georgia Tech’s defense to get the Yellow Jackets on the board, as Oliver had the ball stripped from him on the first down carry around the right tackle, cornerback Trey Fowler scooping up the fumble and returning it 37 yards for a touchdown to cut our lead down to 21-7 with 3:35 remaining.

    A 16 yard return on the kickoff got us lined up at our 19 yard line, looking to recover from the last, brief, drive. Holding off on Oliver for the moment, Stephens found Vaughn over the middle for an 11 yard gain and a first down at the 30. Dumping off a pass to Robert Harper on first down, he was only able to get two yards on the play, followed by a two yard completion to Silva to leave third and 6. Harper would just barely come through for us with a 6 yard reception to move the chains to the 40 yard line. Another pass to Vaughn gained 8 yards, before an incomplete pass intended for Vaughn brought up third and two, Stephens somehow slipping out of two separate sack attempts to get the pass off. Marcus Mullins was able to briefly get his hands on the third down pass, but a hit by the middle linebacker would knock the ball loose and incomplete, leaving fourth and two. That would stop Coach Ludwig from making a fake punt play call, punter Christian Johnson managing to get off a pass to safety Chad Butler, good for a 6 yard gain and a new set of downs at the Georgia Tech 46 yard line, calling our first timeout with 53 seconds to go. A deep pass intended for Vaughn ended up incomplete, followed by a 15 yard completion to Barnes to move the ball to the 31 yard line. Rushing to the line, Stephens tried to go right back to Barnes, but the outside linebacker was able to make a play on the ball and bat it incomplete, leaving second down. A pass over the middle intended for Hayden was nearly intercepted, and we were left facing third and long, 37 seconds to go. Georgia Tech would snooker us on third down, bringing the entire damn house, including the kitchen sink, sacking Stephens for a 10 yard loss to leave fourth and 20 from the 41. Now knocked effectively outside of Derek Glover’s range, we had no choice but to punt, the kick sailing out of the end zone for a touchback to set Georgia Tech up at their 20 yard line with 15 seconds left.

    The Yellow Jackets were content to just head into halftime, a one yard rush by Thompson bringing the half to an end, our lead 21-7.

    Opening up the second half, no return on the kickoff gave us the ball at our 25 yard line to start the third quarter. Handing the ball off to Oliver on first down, he was able to fight his way to a 9 yard gain, followed by a two yard carry to get the first down at the 36. We would end up going backwards however as Silva was brought down for a one yard loss, followed by Oliver tackled for a two yard loss to bring up third and 13. The defense proved meaner than a billy goat pissing gasoline as Stephens was sacked on third down for a 7 yard loss, leaving us punting on fourth and 20. A fair catch on the 50 yard punt got Georgia Tech in action at their 24 yard line.

    Terrell got the drive started for the Yellow Jackets with a 9 yard rush, followed by a two yard gain from Walker to get a first down at the 35. Walker’s pass on first down was dropped by Rocky Dixon to leave second down. Thompson picked up 7 yards on the second down carry, but Terrell couldn’t extend the drive, tackled for a one yard gain to leave third and two. A 7 yard return by Hayden on the 47 yard punt gave us back the ball at our 17 yard line.

    Oliver was able to get loose up the middle on first down for a 10 yard gain, picking up a new set of downs at the 27. Oliver tried to repeat on the next first down play, but he was quickly tackled for only a two yard gain. Silva received the handoff on second down, but never had anywhere to run, overwhelmed almost instantly for a four yard loss to leave us facing third and 12. A third down pass to Harper only picked up 7 yards to leave fourth and 5 as the game suddenly turned into a punting exhibition. A 7 yard return on the 49 yard punt got Georgia Tech lined up at their 27 yard line.

    Walker started the drive with a four yard rush, followed by a 6 yard gain from Thompson that left third and inches. Terrell would get the first down for the Yellow Jackets with a 5 yard carry, moving the chains to the 41. Charles picked up 6 yards on a first down rush, after which Terrell gained 5 yards, getting another first down at our 48 yard line. The Yellow Jackets finding a groove now, Thompson broke a run for an 8 yard gain, followed by a three yard carry by Walker, moving the chains once more now down to our 37. Thompson would keep the down marker stuck on first down with a 13 yard rush to our 24. After an incomplete pass on first down, Walker would rush for two yards to leave third and 8. Thompson would pick up the 8 yards needed, but he got an unfavorable marking, leaving Georgia Tech with fourth and inches from the 15. The Yellow Jackets had no desire in kicking a field goal, going for it on fourth down with Thompson converting with a 6 yard carry, setting up first and goal at our 9 yard line. Terrell would rush for a 5 yard gain on first down, before punching the ball in himself for a three yard touchdown, cutting our lead down to 21-14 with 1:27 left in the third quarter.

    No return on the following kickoff gave us the ball at our 25 yard line. The re-energized defense proved ready for us on the ground, Oliver only gaining three yards on first down, followed by a two yard gain to leave third and 5. Dropping back to pass on third down, the ball intended for Marcus Mullins was nearly intercepted by the middle linebacker, leaving us punting on fourth and 5. A fair catch on the 51 yard punt set Georgia Tech up at their 18 yard line.

    A 6 yard rush by Walker would be the final play of the third quarter as it came to a close, our shrunken lead now only 21-14.

    Opening up the fourth quarter, Walker kept the ball again, gaining three yards on the carry to set up third and one, upon which Terrell converted with a 5 yard rush to move the chains to the 33 yard line. A three yard rush by Walker was followed with a one yard rush by Terrell. Thompson would just barely convert third and 6 with a 6 yard rush, keeping the Yellow Jackets breathing on offense at their 43 yard line. Charles took the ball on first down, picking up three yards on the carry, before our defense struck back, tackling Thompson for a four yard loss to leave Georgia Tech lining up on third and 11. Walker’s third down pass would end up incomplete as we managed to force another Yellow Jacket punt. A fair catch by Hayden on the 48 yard punt gave us the ball at our 8 yard, 7:15 left in the game.

    Oliver got us started off right with a 9 yard rush, before being stood up for a one yard loss to bring up third and two. Putting our faith in the hands of Silva, he managed to pick up a 8 yards on the play and get a first down at the 24 yard line. Oliver received the handoff on first down, gaining three yards, followed by a 5 yard pickup to leave us facing third and two. Oliver would never have a chance on third down, brought down for a two yard loss to leave us punting on fourth and four. A fair catch on the 47 yard punt gave Georgia Tech the ball at their 21 yard line, just 3:47 left in the game.

    It was a poor start for the Yellow Jackets as Thompson was tackled for a two yard loss, though Walker would make up the lost yards with a four yard carry to leave third and 8. Walker would keep the ball on third down, but his 5 yard rush wouldn’t be enough as the punt team returned on fourth and three. A 6 yard return by Hayden on the 46 yard punt got us lined up at our 32 yard line, just 3:04 away from victory.

    The defense refused to give us anything, Oliver brought down for a one yard gain, followed by a two yard rush to set up third and 7, Georgia Tech taking their first timeout with 2:16 left in the game. With a run pointless as the defense would just call timeout, we lined up in the shotgun, but a pass was nothing but a pipe dream as instant pressure left Stephens scrambling for his life, ultimately sacked for a three yard loss after making multiple cuts to avoid defenders. That left us punting away on fourth and 10, Georgia Tech getting one last chance to tie the game up. No return on the 44 yard punt got Georgia Tech in action from their 21 yard line, just 2:06 left and only one timeout.

    Thompson started the drive with a three yard rush, before Walker’s second down pass attempt landed incomplete to bring up third and 7. With the game on the line, of course, our defense would allow Walker to finally complete his first pass of the game, on a 33 yard bomb to Thompson no less, giving Georgia Tech a first down at our 43 yard line with 1:37 remaining. Two incomplete and another dropped pass by Dixon brought up fourth and 10, 1:11 left in the game, this next play for all the marbles. Our defense would again shove their heads in the sand, allowing Walker to hook up with Jamaal Keenan for a 27 yard gain, saving the drive for the Yellow Jackets with a first down at our 16 yard line, 1:06 to go. Naturally our defense would help out, flagged for pass interference on first down, the half the distance to the goal penalty officially resulting in 7 yards and first and goal from our 9 yard line with 55 seconds left. It would take the Yellow Jackets just one play to even the score, Walker finding Keenan in the end zone for a 9 yard touchdown pass, knotting the game up at 21-21 with 51 seconds remaining.

    A touchback on the kickoff got us underway at our 25 yard line, looking to reach field goal range. Vaughn would get us well on our way there on first down, hauling in a pass from Stephens for a 19 yard pickup to move the chains to the 44 yard line, our first timeout taken with 38 seconds to go. A quick pass to Silva gained 7 yards as we rushed back to the line. The second down pass to Barnes was batted incomplete, leaving third and three from the Georgia Tech 49 yard line, just 20 seconds remaining on the clock. An incomplete pass intended for Lewis would end our drive on fourth down, all but guaranteeing overtime. A touchback on the 52 yard punt gave Georgia Tech the ball at their 25 yard line, 12 seconds on the clock.

    The Yellow Jackets sure weren’t about to just call it quits, as Walker came out firing, completing a pass to Jason Brooks for a 29 yard gain and a first down at the 49 yard line, Georgia Tech taking their final timeout with four seconds to go. Georgia Tech would give it their best effort, Walker connecting with Dixon for 27 yards down to our 24 yard line, but the clock had already expired and to overtime we went.

    Georgia Tech won the coin toss and got the overtime session started, Thompson rushing for a 6 yard gain, followed by a pickup of 9 yards to set up first and goal at our 10 yard line. Walker, now almost flaunting his ability to complete a pass, hit Keenan in the end zone for a 10 yard touchdown, giving Georgia a 28-21 lead.

    Heading out to the 25 yard line for our turn, Oliver took the handoff for an 8 yard carry. Getting the ball again on second down, Oliver almost did all the work himself, busting up the middle for a gain of 11 yards to give us first and goal at the 5 yard line. Silva came in on first down, picking up only one yard on the play. Silva took a second crack at it, but could only get one yard on the carry to leave third and goal from the three. Hayden would strike on third down, hauling in a quick pass from Stephens for a three yard touchdown, his third of the game to tie the game back up at 28-28.

    Heading into a second overtime, we got lined back up on offense, Oliver immediately stuffed for a one yard loss to leave second and 11. Throwing a pass over the middle, Stephens was able to connect with Vaughn briefly, but the safety jarred the ball loose on a rough hit to bring up third and 11. An 11 yard pass to Lewis somehow wouldn’t be enough, leaving us with fourth and inches from the 15 yard line. Glover was at least successful on the 32 yard field goal, giving us a 31-28 lead.

    Georgia Tech came back out for their possession, instantly getting a helping hand thanks to an encroachment penalty on our defense to hand them a first down at the 20 yard line. Our defense would still make a tough stand, tackling Walker for a two yard loss. Charles was able to pick up four yards on second down, but the Yellow Jackets still faced third and 8. A third down pass from Walker intended for Terrell would end up broken up and incomplete, leaving fourth down. Despite a second encroachment penalty that gave Georgia Tech 5 more free yards, they would still settle for the trey, the 30 yard field goal by Jonathan Berry was good, tying the game back up once more at 31-31 and sending us to a third overtime.

    Opening up the third overtime session, Walker rushed for a three yard gain, followed by a two yard carry by Thompson to leave third and 5. Thompson would keep the Yellow Jackets driving with a 9 yard rush to our 11 yard line. A pass interference penalty on first down resulted in half the distance to the goal, setting Georgia Tech up with first and goal at our 6 yard line, our defense continuously shooting themselves in the foot. Terrell would finish off the drive with a 6 yard touchdown rush. Terrell tried to repeat his success on the two-point conversion, but our defense managed to bring him down at the two yard line for a failed conversion, leaving Georgia Tech’s lead 37-31.

    Starting our next possession at the 25 yard line, Oliver kept us rolling on the ground with an 8 yard rush, followed by a gain of 9 yards to give us first and goal from the 8 yard line. Silva came in on first down, picking up two yards on the play, followed by a 6 yard rush to leave us with third and goal, just inches away. Stephens would call his own number, sneaking it in for a one yard touchdown, bringing up the biggest two-point conversion of our offense’s life. Silva received the handoff, but never had a chance as he was stood up for no gain, sending us into a fourth overtime in the game that would never end.

    Heading back to the 25 yard line for yet another try, Silva took the ball on first down, picking up 5 yards on the play, followed by a 15 yard run down to the 5 yard line. Or maybe not, as a holding penalty was called on center Brett Hampton, leaving us instead looking at second and 15 from the 30 yard line. Going into the air on second down, Stephens found Lewis for a 9 yard gain, leaving us with third and 6 at the 21. Another pass to Lewis would pick up 12 yards, setting us up with first and goal at the 8 yard line. Silva took the ball on first down, rushing for a four yard gain, before Kyle Jones came in on second down, punching it in for a four yard touchdown. Lining up once more on the two-point conversion, the pass intended for Silva sailed way long and out the back of the end zone, leaving our lead 43-37.

    Walker tried to end the drive in one play as he threw into the end zone on first down, but a timely swat knocked the ball incomplete. Returning to the ground, Walker picked up four yards on a carry, followed by a two yard rush by Thompson to bring up fourth and four. It all came down to this play. And our defense would roll over and play dead on that play, as Walker connected with Brooks for a 19 yard touchdown. Walker’s pass on the two-point conversion was no good, and we headed to a fifth overtime.

    Lining up at the 25 yard line to start a fifth OT, Walker tried to take the ball on the ground, but our tired defense reached into some reserves, tackling Walker for a four yard loss, followed by a two yard loss to leave Georgia Tech facing third and 16. A dropped pass by Dixon would finally open the door. That door would fly open as the 48 yard field goal by Berry was no good.

    Starting our drive at the 25, we needed only a field goal now to win. Oliver started the drive with a 6 yard rush, followed by a three yard gain to leave third and one at the 16. Lining up on third down, fate would reach up from the fiery depths of Satan’s thorny black asshole and ream us, as Silva, after already having picked up a first down, was stripped of the ball, middle linebacker Manuel Harris recovering for Georgia Tech to send us into a ridiculous sixth overtime.

    Starting at the 25 yard line, Walker tried once more to throw into the end zone and end it in one play, but his pass was broken up. That would end up repeating as two more incomplete passes left Georgia Tech facing fourth and 10. Berry would connect this time on the 42 yard field goal, giving the Yellow Jackets a 46-43 lead.

    Starting our drive this go-around, Oliver was able to pound his way to a 10 yard gain and a first down at the 15 yard line. Another rush by Oliver resulted in three yards gained, followed by a 6 yard rush by Silva to set up third and one. Silva would try to pick up the first down, but the defense had other plans in mind, tackling Silva for a two yard loss to leave fourth and three. Glover would drill the 24 yard field goal to tie it back up at 46-46 and we would keep right on rolling to a record-tying seventh overtime.

    Lining back up at the 25 yard line to start OT number seven, Oliver took the handoff for an 8 yard gain, followed by Silva being stood up for no gain to leave third and two. Taking another shot with Silva, he was able to break free into the secondary for a gain of 8 yards to set up first and goal at the 9 yard line. Silva would keep pounding away on first down with a four yard rush, before being tackled for a one yard loss to bring up third and goal from the 5 yard line. Silva would end up seeing his career come to an end after the play, knocked out for the rest of the game with back spasms. Going into the air on third down, Stephens was able to hit Lewis on an out route to get us in the end zone for a 5 yard touchdown. Our attempt on the two-point conversion would fail, Stephens sacked to end the play, our lead remaining 52-46

    It would finally come to a merciful end on first down, when Walker was intercepted by cornerback Jonathan Chambers at the 15 yard line to seal the 52-46 victory.

    With the exhaustive win, we end our 2019 season at 11-2, 7-1 in Big East action. With the loss, Georgia Tech’s year comes to a close at 9-4, 7-2 in ACC play.


    Final Score
    #11 52, #22 46 - 7 OT



    Stat(s) of the Game:
    - Tulsa Offense – A huge day for Stephens, ending his career going 20-35 for 273 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. Rushing, it was a career day for Oliver, who ended with 256 yards and one touchdown on 37 carries. Silva closed his career with 56 yards on 17 rushes. Receiving, a big day for Vaughn, ending with 126 yards on five receptions. It was an even bigger day for Hayden, wrapping up his career with 57 yards and three touchdowns on four receptions. Lewis score the only other receiving touchdown, to go along with 51 yards on five catches. In all, seven players caught a pass to day, five going for double digit yards, Vaughn the only one to reach triple digits.

    - Tulsa Defense – Well, we knew it was going to be an ugly day. The defense did damn good in the first half and even still did respectably good in the second half other than rolling over on the two TD drives. Overtime was a whole different beast, but starting at the 25 each drive, the defense was already at a disadvantage. They made up for it with the game-winning interception in the seventh overtime.

    - Tulsa Kicking – Glover somehow managed to go perfect today, ending 2-2 in field goals, with a pair of overtime kicks from 32 and 24 yards out, while going 4-4 in PATs.

    Talk about a hell of a way to end my coaching career stop at Tulsa. Holy crap! Seven freaking overtimes in the game that refused to end. I almost wouldn't have cared if I had lost, if the game would have just ended. My god. The way we were going back and forth, I thought for sure we were going to hit 10 OTs.

    Definitely highlight moment for my career and a better way than any other to end my Tulsa years on.

    And so there you go. Nebraska is your 2019 national champion, and the Big Ten goes 6-3 in bowl games to win the 2019 Bowl Challenge Cup.

    On the other side of the coin, the MAC (for the second straight year) and the Pac-12 (for the second time in three years) goes 2-4 for the bowl season to claim the "we suck" conference title of 2019.

    For user teams, #11 Tulsa beats #22 Georgia Tech in 7 OTs in the Champs Sports Bowl, #7 Ohio State beats #4 Arkansas 38-31 in ONE overtime in the Sugar Bowl, West Virginia loses 42-35 to #9 Utah in the Cotton Bowl, North Texas dispatches Arkansas state 28-24 in the New Orleans Bowl and Southern Miss gets a 24-14 win over South Florida in the Liberty Bowl.

    The Big East and Mountain West both fell off a bit, going 3-3 in bowl games this year, but with San Diego State beating TCU in the Fiesta Bowl and SMU topping Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl, both conferences will safely keep their automatic BCS bids.
