Bob's bowl forecast: Notre Dame in the Fiesta  (Wednesday, November 4, 2009)

Notre Dame vs. Boise State

We were all set to put Penn State in this spot. But what happens if Ohio State beats the Nittany Lions this weekend, then loses at Michigan State in the season finale? Then, it's off to the Capital One Bowl for JoePa. Which leaves an open spot in the BCS for the Irish. But only if they win the rest of their games to get to 10-2. That means winning at Pitt and Stanford. Possible.

New Mexico rejects settlement offer  (Wednesday, November 4, 2009)

Offense surge out of thin air  (Wednesday, November 4, 2009)

CHAMPAIGN – Josh Brent, the UI's large defensive tackle from Bloomington, spoke honestly about a confusing football season: "I can't put a finger on why we weren't winning, and I don't know what happened Saturday because we didn't really change anything (in defeating Michigan)."

Confusing? Well, consider that Minnesota drew a Big Ten-record 17 penalties Saturday and, calling up reserves to replace injured star Eric Decker, produced 416 aerial yards to rock Michigan State 42-34. Adam Weber fired five TD passes, matching Juice Williams' total for the season, with three of them coming from 62, 59 and 37 yards.

Things starting to bounce Weber's way  (Tuesday, November 3, 2009)

 MINNEAPOLIS — The ball bounced off tight end Nick Tow-Arnett's chest and into the air, landing right in the hands of running back Duane Bennett.
As Bennett raced the final 35 yards for a 59-yard touchdown pass, Minnesota quarterback Adam Weber had to smile and shrug. For perhaps the first time in what he calls a frustrating season, the ball finally bounced his way.
