[NU Sports] wow

[J.R. McCullough]

What happened?

* The coaches finally got the right mix of people in the secondary
* The youngsters got some experience
* The bye week allowed the coaches to analyze the game film and spring some 
surprises on our next foes

Also, Baz has taken a more vocal leadership role in the team since the Big 
Ten season began.

Most impressive, though, has been Baz. Only 1 INT all season, and that came 
during desperation time at the end of the PSU game. I suspect his stellar 
numbers have been a direct reflection on the opposition (we have not played 
a good defense since the PSU game). However, although it gets tougher the 
rest of the season, the O-line is seasoned now. They should be up to the 
task.
