April Absurdity: Day 2 Results

#16 New Hampshire at #1 Louisiana State:
Louisiana State, 45-17

New Hampshire, as expected, lost, but they kept things closer than you'd think. LSU scored first, but UNH replied with a field goal. LSU then passed for their second TD of the game, after which the Wildcats passed for one of their own! 14-10?!? But, of course, the Tigers then scored 28 unanswered points as #1 seeded Louisiana State defeated 16th seeded New Hampshire, 45-17.

New Hampshire:
QB #2: 20-34-361, 2 TD, 2 INT

#9 Wyoming at #8 Minnesota:
Wyoming, 28-21

The Cowboys took an early lead over the Golden Gophers at the beginning of the second quarter with an 18 yard TD pass. Minnesota pulled it right back to 7-all with a 3 yard run at the end of the half. But then Wyoming went on a run. With 1 second left in the third they passed for a touchdown, and then they threw for two more to make it a 28-7 Cowboys lead with 1:57 left in the ball game. Minnesota tried to comeback, and scored two touchdowns in the space of 19 seconds, but it wasn't enough as the 9th seeded Wyoming Cowboys mildly upset the 8th seeded Minnesota Golden Gophers, 28-21.

Wyoming:
Jacob Doss: 19-36-232, 4 TD, INT
Michael Ford, WR: 4-73, 2 TD

#12 Louisiana-Monroe at #5 Kentucky:
Kentucky, 13-7

Louisiana-Monroe started off extremely well, as on the first play from scrimmage they scored on a 73 yard touchdown pass to take the lead. It took three minutes for Kentucky to reply with a 1 yard plunge by Rafael Little to tie the game at 7. The rest of the game would be rather boring, with 26 yard and 33 yard field goals by the 5th seeded Kentucky Wildcats as they would defeat the 12th seeded Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks, 13-7.

Louisiana-Monroe:
Kinsmon Landcaster: 9-13-227, TD
Adam Hogan, WR: 3-106, TD
Quintez Secka, CB: 7 TKL, 2 TFL, FF

Kentucky:
Andre Woodson: 14-19-216
Keenan Burton, WR: 6-134
Myron Pryor, DT: 3 TKL, 2 TFL, FF

#13 Louisiana Tech at #4 South Carolina:
South Carolina, 34-13

Louisiana Tech actually jumped out to an early lead with a 1 yard touchdown pass, but then the Gamecocks scored 31 unanswered points to beat down the Bulldogs, 34-13, meaning 4th seeded South Carolina will advance to the second round after defeating 13th seeded Louisiana Tech.

Honestly, I was more interested in Raw. Italian crowd! Guy from said crowd winning Intercontinental title (Real name: Boris Alexiv or something. He's from OVW.) Booing John Cena! Cheering Rated RKO! MARIA!!! I love Italy.
