[NU Sports] Where is everyone?

[DPENDERG at aol.com]

I think the relatively restrained response to the W yesterday is that the  
opponent was a weak MAC team that is just a shadow of what we will face  next 
Saturday.  Based on what I saw in Ann Arbor (and without a couple of  untimely 
fumbles, the game might have been very close), the Cats will have a  real 
challenge against a tough, talented NIU team. 
 
Yes, it's great to see Baz throwing well and Sutton emerging as the  premier 
running back, but let's be honest, the competition probably was not much  
better than an intra-squad in Kenosha.  Cats will have to bring their A  game or 
experience embarrassment on their home field. After playing relatively  well 
against Michigan, NIU will be highly motivated and thirsting for a W on  
Saturday.  I hope the Cats are ready (and that we see some improvement in  the 
secondary, which remains a weakness I expect NIU will try to exploit).

Does  everyone on the list know we had a game yesterday? Where is the 
chatter? Come  on people!

* What was your opinion of our rushing attack?
* Is the  defense solid, or was Ohio just really that bad?
* Do you think Howels will  be better than Huffman?
* Did anyone watch the NIU game? Are you as worried  as I am about stopping 
their running attack?
* For anyone at the game --  how did the D and O lines look? Will the 
freshmen and sophmores make a  difference, or will this be a long year?

Let's get it started! It's  football  season.
