January 2, 201313 yr Anyone else watching? I'm pulling for NIU, of course I like to see the small school underdogs win.
January 2, 201313 yr NIU looks about how I thought so far. FSU struggling some offensively (SURPRISE!), but defensively they've crushed NIU into a fine powder outside of a fake punt and one run after that.
January 2, 201313 yr Author NIU looks about how I thought so far. FSU struggling some offensively (SURPRISE!), but defensively they've crushed NIU into a fine powder outside of a fake punt and one run after that. No doubt FSU's defensive line is dominating as much as any line I've seen this bowl season.
January 2, 201313 yr Author Cheering for NIU here too. Defense is bending but not breaking. No O at all. If they are going to win they have to hold FSU to under 20 points and they are going to just need a couple more huge miracle plays to get points.
January 2, 201313 yr NIU has no business being in ths game. Luckily they are playing America's #1 "play to your competition level" team.

January 2, 201313 yr If FSU can score another TD on the opening possession of the second half then you can put this one to rest.
January 2, 201313 yr Author If FSU can score another TD on the opening possession of the second half then you can put this one to rest. I felt like that TD probably put it to rest. NIU won't score more than a couple of td's at best in the second half and I can't see them completely shutting FSU down for a half.
January 2, 201313 yr NIU has no business being in ths game. Luckily they are playing America's #1 "play to your competition level" team. Let me clarify, NIU should not be playing in this game period. I did not feel they had an impressive enough of a resume for a mid major to warrant BCS consideration. This is not a Boise State or Utah type team that steamrolled their competition with a handful of quality BCS wins.

This is not a Boise State or Utah type team that steamrolled their competition with a handful of quality BCS wins. I was extremely disappointed that NIU ended up qualifying (thanks Nebraska!). I was looking forward to FSU/Louisville. That still wasn't a marquee game by any means but I feel that would've been a competitive and entertaining game.

January 2, 201313 yr This has been a competitive entertaining game so far. Perhaps I should have said more entertaining and competitive.
