North Carolina @ Miami: 901 yards should account for more than 32 combined points but that was no consolation to over bettors in this game. UNC out first downed Miami 30-26 and out gained them 486-415 yet neither team found any success punching the ball into the endzone.
Kent St @ Army: 27-12 first downs, 457-367 yards, and 325-283 edge in rushing yards should amount to a win most nights. That wasn’t the case for Army as they lost 31-17 to the Golden Flashes on their home field despite a decided stat edge.
Toledo @ Eastern Michigan: This game never had a chance to stay under however 55 pts in the 3rd quarter isn’t a normal ocurrence. What’s even more impressive is they scored those 8 TD’s in the span of 10 minutes.
Maryland @ Virginia: Courtesy of @NW3: Maryland only mustered 10 first downs and 235 yards of offense but used an opening kickoff return and strong 1st quarter to beat UVA going away. Their net rushing production in the win? -.1 YPC
Northwestern @ Minnesota: 1-9 on 3rd downs, -50 total yardage, and 67 passing yards isn’t the blueprint for getting conference road wins. Northwestern defied the odds by winning the turnover battle 3-0. Minnesota actually fumbled 7 times although they only lost 2 of them.
Syracuse @ Rutgers: Syracuse outgained Rutgers 418-237 and was +8 in first downs despite a 23-15 loss at Rutgers. Yet again the Orange outgained an opponent but couldn’t overcome -4 in turnover differential.
Buffalo @ NIU: It takes skill to gain 26 first downs, run 22 more plays than your opponent, and lose by 42 points like the Buffalo Bulls did Saturday. Kudos to the pride of Western NY
