ICSTR Military Bowl

Their stay at the Centre extended by weeks, the Monks of the ICSTR finished their noble work and headed back to the provinces, walking with asceticism across the snowy fields.

The special teams for the Military Bowl were probably better than expected.  Even the punt game is better in retrospect than it was on first look.

For the game, BG was +2, which might be a little bit of a surprise.  Just like the two QB fumbles cancelled each other out, the two blocked punts also cancel each other out.  Schmeidebusch had one good punt and a couple inside the 20 and BG had 2 nice kickoff returns.  Anyway, BG for the game finished +2.

It was BG's first game in positive territory since the OU game.  We'll have more in the special teams review, but BG ended up positive in 6 of its 13 games and even in one.  The best special teams game was OU and the worst was Kent.
