International Bowl

With ESPN assembling a Canadian crew of announcers, Rutgers ran all over Ball State for the 52-30 blowout win in the International Bowl. The Scarlet Nights racked up 594 yards of offense with 280 of them coming from Ray Rice.

Rice's performance today pushed him past the 2,000 yards and all but ensured that it was his last game. The Dirty Jerz faithful who made the trip to Toronto tried their best to persuade him, chanting "One More Year," but it seems doubtful that he'll be back next year. Being Ray Rice on campus is probably nice, but being Ray Rice with a couple of million is definitely nicer.

The All-Canadian Team
For their first and only game in the 51st state this season, the WWL sent Jessie Palmer (Toronto native and former bachelor contestant), former Canadian league MVP Doug Flutie, and Canada native John Saunders. The two former quarterbacks didnt seem to notice the monster day out of Ray Rice as they critiqued Mike Teel and Nate Davis but you can't really blame them for being off their game when doing the International Bowl.
