A former No. 1 overall draft pick and Heisman Trophy victor out of Oklahoma, Bradford threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Rudolph with 10:14 left in the second quarter to tie the score 7-7. “When you see it enough, you understand there’s a time to go for it and a time to make sure you secure the sack”.

It was the second turnover created by Minnesota’s defense in consecutive fourth-quarter series.

“Given the right opportunities with the right team, I believe he can have a great career”, Stoops said.
“You have such relationships with people – They’re like your children”.
The challenge this week will be to do so without arguably their most important player in the running game.
“I think we’re close, at times”, Rodgers said. “Now we just got to really capitalize on that”. “But unfortunately, we just didn’t convert”.
“Ball security – we put the ball on the ground four times, and another interception – that’s just not the way we play”, said the coach.
