     Thanks for the article Gary.  Lee does raise some great points.  Here is another by Steve Sipple.

     Just a couple thoughts.  I really thought the game went about like I thought it would although NU scored more points than I thought they would.  I don't really think there is any blame to throw on anyone whether coaches, players, and etc.  We just flat out met a better team, a much better team.  I think it does give us a taste of what would have happened had Callahan gone out to LA and opened up the play book last year.  It would be hard for me to believe anyone realistically looking at the game prior to the game would think NU would win without a major upset taking place.  I think it pretty much solidifies that NU is a definite top 25 team but is not a top 5 team, probably not a top 10 team.  It probably also shows that likely NU will have 3-4 losses this year, which is about where most thought they would be.  This is still a good team that will be fun to watch.  We're just not in the Nation's elite at this point.
