NU's DB's got away with some questionable shit today.
Northwestern's first drive of the 4th quarter. 11 plays, 52 yards. 30 rushing yards including the last 6 plays being runs to punch it in the endzone. We got out physicalled for most of the game. Especially when we were on offense.
Stats can be misleading. Especially when one team gets the ball on the positive side of the field as much as NW had.
Our DBs were also very physical, which was the reason NW was 16/37 passing.

Jed and RA, I respect both of your opinions........mainly because you're both older than I am and have been watching this game longer than I have.
I simply disagree with you guys on this one though. I was very excited about the way the Defense came out today with a different attitude. I finally saw guys up front tackling guys BACKWARD instead of forward. Something changed Defensively, and I hope it carries over to next week. We had a little swagger on Defense today.....it got overshadowed by the ineptness of the Special Teams play and Offensive Line play at times, however.
I do agree with you that the Offensive Line was out-physicaled at different times, and I commented on that throughout the game in the game thread.
That is not the same Defense we saw play last week for Nebraska.......
I don't care what anyone says. Most of it had to do with the fact that we were prepared after 2 weeks worth of time, and we had guys filling gaps.
Also the DBs were right there with their guys almost every single play as well.
Considering they didn't play last week...
Cot dammit, Nate
Northwestern had a couple of good drives. I'll give them that. We ran at will most of the game and their corners couldn't hang with the size of our receivers. Northwestern was only in the game because of our turnovers.
I know you are trying to be funny. Recruiting is what it will take for us to take the next step. I challenge you to compare the participants of the Championship Games of the past 10 years with their rivals ranking and I challenge you to object to the relationship between recruiting success and success on the field.
God bless you!
wearegettingthere, why must you add "God Bless" to the end of every post you make?
Even God himself is tired of having to bless everyone here as many times as you post that..........once every now and then would probably be suitable enough.
