An emotional game was played in Oxford, Ohio last night. Northwestern came to town without their coach, Randy Walker, who died earlier this year. The team was noticeably shaky and revved up with emotions. They wanted this win—bad. Standing in their way was Miami of Ohio. Would they play down a little on such an emotion filled night to ensure Walker gets his due respect? Well, if they did, no one would admit to it.

Who would of thought that the Iowa State vs. Toledo game could end up being so exciting? This game quickly became a thriller. It took three overtime periods to decide and we nearly had a fourth. If not for a semi-floated pass to a wide open receiver in the end zone, this game was going to the fourth overtime. Instead, the Iowa State defense got to the pass and stopped the two-point conversion. Iowa State won 45-43.
