One month later

Well, I've been an official blogger since Dec. 9th, and now here we are Jan. 9th, and bowl season ends tonight. But we'll get into that later. In fact, that deserves it's own post.

Review: NORTHERN ILLINOIS 38 Arkansas State 20 X
Arkansas State jumped out to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter, only to let Northern Illinois come back and score 31 unanswered, leaving the Red Wolves in a big hole. After the opening drive of the game where Arizona State kicked a field goal, the Huskies lined up to receive the kickoff, but the returner apparently touched the ball and it went deep in the endzone. The return man proceeded to pick it up, attempt to return it and get knocked down short of leaving the endzone. Isn't that a safety? It wasn't in this game. Would two points have really changed the outcome? Probably not. The first few minutes out of halftime were pretty entertaining and the Red Wolves looked to be getting something done as Chaz Scales intercepted the ball, giving Arkansas State the ball and momentum. That didn't last long however as three plays later, the Huskies were the ones with an interception, and on their ensuing drive it only took one play for 43 yards and six points were up on the board.
