I noticed that Culbert was in the game a couple times, but the 
announcers never mentioned his name that I heard, nor did they bring up 
that NU was running an unusual defense, with Culbert at Mike LB. I think 
we will see a nice upgrade in overall talent and depth in the secondary 
next year as the young guns get into the mix and (if?) Bowman comes back.

IIRC, Wesch's end zone kicks were all north to south. I'm assuming they 
were with the wind, but never heard any mention of wind velocity. Does 
anyone know what it was? In any case, it was good to see, as was 
Congden's two-for-two FG performance.
