Three consecutive bowl wins along with three bowl game covers in Vegas is something that hasn't been done in Athens.
Ohio didn't cover. They went off at 10-point favorites at kickoff.

I presume the fries came from the Bowl people ?

I presume so, and this was certainly a better option than a green smoothie (Kent State). Here are more pictures:
So,how long before someone complains about the french fry shower wasting food that could have been put to a better use ?

I heard this referenced somewhere, but didn't see a clip until I found this. From the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl...

The Bobcats covered the 8.5 line that I saw in the USA TODAY ON Friday morning. And yes some people will complain about the French fries going to waste. Maybe they threw some out for the birds to snack on?

That would only count if the birds were on the endangered species list. No credit for feeding grackles! ;-)

yep .. they did cover that -8' line ... but the game shot up to -10 and -10' at a lot of places about an hour before kickoff. So technically, they didn't cover ... but if you got a good number ... cash that ticket!

I personally got hosed by the late game meltdown having taken Ohio in-game a few times at -9' and -13' .... looked like a rocking chair winner when they were up 21, driving to go up 28 in the 3rd quarter

I should've known ... this is Ohio football. Nothing can be taken for granted in 2019 (or in any other recent years) .... a play or two from being up 28 turned into another white-knuckler as someone else previously posted.

Agree, Frank needs to show case Rouke for the Cats and for Rouke's future.
I hope Coach Albin copied the Clemson play last week. Clemson QB after running often: play looks like another total QB keeper with no typical receivers going out on patterns THEN running back slips through the pack with safety biting on the run and QB stops and floats a dinker to the running back over the middle and away he goes. Those simple yet well designed and called at the perfect time plays makes the bowl watching that much more fun!
Way to go offensive coaching staff: Rourke faked the run on several occasions and stepped back to find a wide open OHIO receiver! Too bad the ball sailed long on every occasion.

I have a feeling Nathan was at the deep fryer getting the fries ready for the Frank bath and had too much grease on his fingers when tossing those off-the-mark passes. Maybe Hagen was helping him?

Did you watch the same game that we did?

Rourke ran the fake the run, drop back and pass, successfully...at the 6:37, and 8:18, and 8:45 marks on this highlight film.
