Cats win the 'under' pool for the day

There were 19 points scored in the Miami-NU game yesterday, the fewest in any game so far this season. You won’t find very many games where the winning team scored less than 20 points, either.

Reminds me of the year when SI’s pre-season comment was to wonder whether either Illinois or Northwestern was strong enough to win their season-opening game against each other, and they struggled to a 0-0 tie, quite possibly the last one in the history of college football. (But that was back in the days when SI was a sports publication and not a pinup photo collection.)
