V - " Before every football game this season, two of the Daily foot- ball writers will take the weekend's matchup to the PlayStation 2. " Play of the game - Trailing 34-31, QB #3 puts an end to this instant classic with a 30-yard pass to WR #2 over a lost CB #30. " Players of the game - Michigan's WR #1 and Minnesota's WR #2 were clearly the first and second best players in this game. WR #1 set a school record with 239 yards on seven catches, while WR #2 had four receptions for 153 yards. Both caught three touchdowns. PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES: Minnesota coach Chris Burke:. "To be honest, we should have won this thing in regulation. Why T #78 felt the need to commit a clipping penalty when we were centering the ball to kick the game-winning field goal, I'll never know." "Yes, T #78 has been cut." "QB #3 and WR #2 were spectacular. Well, QB #3 wasn't spectacular, I guess. Eight-for-27 is pretty bad. But five touchdowns is good. We knew that we could take advantage of Michigan CB #30 - I don't know why he jumped five seconds before the last touchdown pass got near him, but I'm happy he did. He must feel ridiculous." Michigan coach Sharad Mattu: "The only thing I have to say about the third-and-goal play in the final overtime is this: I hope the next time we give the ball to RB #24 he at least attempts to run forward." "When WR #1 came to the sidelines after his third touchdown, I told him that's the way an All-American plays. Sure, an All-American receiver has to know how to play without the football, but what he does with the football is a heck-of-a lot more important." "This was a tough loss to take. We shut down their "great" running game and put points up with ease. There's a devastated group in that locker room right now, but we'll be back. I guarantee it." /* Your Cellular Supers With school ID choose any Wireless Toyz bra Offer includes car chargers, clips, leather cas We provide service for NEXTEL -Wi_ . __ T "-" pbil N w ?Getting ^ A- isn't as hard as choosing a major! w TT8 (8 0 0 ) 4 2 78 6 6 (614) 235-0717 www hadtoni/Icobusarpot * CONCOURSE - HOTEL- (800) 541-4574 (614) 237-2515 www theconcoursehotel coa O iton Ggarden nn'- mImr CiAumhzsaAfport (800) 445-8667 (614) 231-2869 www.colurbsaiport.gardeninn.conm ST CUOICE MOTELS (800)517-400 (614) 237-5847 www.comortsuites.com/hotelOlH042 a=~fTRY (800) 621-1429 (614) 237-3403 www.crosscountiyinns.com E Washi gton liberty N iii%.
