Jerry Kill vs Bowling Green in Detroit

[Rose Bowl Brew]

Good for Jer Bear! Heck of a turnaround for him and the Aggies.

 

[STPGopher]

Me too and, for some odd reason, I always pull for NMSU except against us

How can you not? Casa De Autos...

 

[everybody knows my name]

They’re dead last for strength of schedule.

Liberty lost 37-36 to a 19th ranked Wake Forest team, and beat Southern Miss 29-27, BYU 41-14 and Arkansas 21-19.

They played some really lousy teams, which may skew their SoS, and they also played a number of P5 teams.

JK is 0-5 in bowl games and 4-10 overall in the postseason. Bet the house on Bowling Green.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Jerry can scheme against sloppily coached teams. That is his skill set.

I don't remember him getting outschemed against the better teams. 2014 Ohio State and 2015 TCU stand out in the opposition direction for me.

They still lost

So you're saying that the only hope for the 2022 Gopher Football team to have beaten a team with a winning record is for Wisconsin to beat OSU?

Great.

You funny guy, I get your shtick. It'll never get old!

Great.

It has been a very disappointing, Jerry Kill esque type season

Then NMSU needs to beat Bowling Green. Kill's teams here, even that abysmal first season, beat at least two teams that ended up with winning records every year.

How this year's Gophers won 8 games without beating anyone with a winning record is quite a surprise.

 

[howeda7]

You must not have seen who he beat…

After watching them in August, did you really think they'd win 6 games, regardless of opponent?

I drive down to Los Cruces every year to buy tires from Casa de Autos...
Long live AggieVision!!!

 

[STPGopher]

Touchdown Aggies

Touchdown Aggies!!!...The play is under further review...

Anybody else still have a "Jerrysota" shirt still lying around? I know I do

NMST is dead last, not Liberty.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

If BG plays disciplined football bet on BG.

I dunno, 38-0 vs the gophers didn’t make me think it would take a miracle. Other than the stunning win against Liberty (who clearly wasn’t the same with the coaching rumors), it’s not that impressive. They lost one game as a substantial favorite and won 2 as a dog (Liberty was a big upset). They were actually favored in 4 of the wins.

First beer is on me for anyone who attends

 

[MaxyJR1]

Kill and New Mexico State are joining Conference USA. He's bringing in the largest class with 24 HS and 5 transfers, including a 4* transfer QB from Texas A&M.

His HS class has 3, 3*'s and 21 unrated players. Class rated 12 out of 15 in CUSA.

I always find if fun to follow his building of programs. Schedule yet to be released.

Is there something wrong with a stripper? A friend of mine wants to know

Okay, StrokeMonster,

SOS metrics are strange.

Is it harder to play 8 dogs and 4 great teams or harder to play 4 dogs and 8 good but not great teams.

One schedule is easier to win 11-12 games against. But the other schedule clearly easier to win 8 games against.

It always makes me chuckle about the big ten east vs west debates particularly in regards to Penn State’s whininess about divisions.

Clearly easier to win 11 games playing a “west” schedule.
Clearly easier winning 7 games playing this schedule:
Rutgers
Maryland
Indiana
Michigan state
Non conference

I'm pulling for Jerry and New Mexico State in the Quick Lane bowl.

 

[50PoundHead]

Really chippy game.

 

[Jack jones]

Truly an amazing coaching job by Coach Kill to qualify for a bowl. An absolute miracle.

BS

 

[GopherVotary]

Adobe brick by adobe brick.

 

[Iceland12]

Really chippy game.

And a safety makes it 24 - 12 New Mexico State with 7:10 left in the game.

It's new Mexico State 1st Bowl game appearance since 2017. 2nd Bowl Game appearance since 1961. Though they are on a 3 game Bowl winning streak.

Same here. That's a tough place to coach and win.

 

[Iceland12]

At the 6:27 mark in the 4th, Bowling Green gets a TD to make the score 24-19.

 

[disco]

NMST is dead last, not Liberty.

Not really their fault, considering that they had no conference and had to cobble together a schedule.
