Bowling Green:
19/36 for 170 yds & 1 picks
25 rushes for 22 yds
12 first downs
2 turnovers
Gophers:
5/13 for 58 yds & 2 picks
45 rushes for 182 yds
12 first downs
3 turnovers
I'd say that both teams were terrible. Bowling Green was just able to make it in the end zone twice.
I was more tongue in cheek. But I just looked and the coach of Western Illinois that year went 0-22 over two seasons and was fired. I don't recall another coach going winless in back to back years
Following up on that if you look for seasons where we beat Michigan as well you almost get all the national title seasons -- didn't play Michigan in 1904. Having just looked it up in 1938 gophers went 6-2 losing to jNW and Notre Dame (du Lac)
1934, 1935, 1936, 1938, 1940, 1941, 1960.
1904, 1905, 1931, 1934, 1935, 1936, 1938, 1940, 1941, 1943, 1944, 1946, 1948, 1949, 1960
Its been a prerequisite that we beat those three teams to win a national title.
I've been tracking tickets and Southwest just reduced prices so that a roundtrip arriving at Midway Aiport at 9am on 11/22 and leaving at 10:50pm on 11/22 is 77 roundtrip.
Likely the best priced fare that there will be if you want to fly in an out on the same day
I watched the Case Keenum vikings lose to the Eagles there. It was chock full of vikings fans (and a single philly fan), have never been for a gopher game.
