[NU Sports] Ohio game and N.I.U.

[WildElk2 at aol.com]

    A late Ohio wrap-up; I attended the game with my son which was quite 
gratifying, as well as having a grand time at The Whitehall Hotel downtown.  As my 
son is 14, we spent too much time and money in the ESPN zone, but it was a 
great time, especially when I stomped him in air hockey!
   As far as the game, disclaimer #1: I'm thinking of a word...ah yes, 
Temple!  Ohio is REALLY bad; and as far as Walker taking it easy, good thing, as we 
visit Athens in 2008.
   With that said, Baz looked fabulous. He was 27-37, and Thompson and 
Herbert dropped one each in the rusty 1st quarter.  The defense looked collectively 
in synche, as the defensive line was constantly getting a good push, thus 
helping our green secondary.
   RB- Sutton can really hit the hole in a hurry, but Roberson never got in 
any rythem in the sloppy 1st Q., so the RB derby is still open.
   I also liked getting the rust off Bacher in the 4th Q.  I'd ike to see 
C.J. getting a few snaps here and there; remember how impotent Chris Malleo 
looked against Minnesota?  
   Let's go 2-0;  Cats claw Huskies 34-27.  Howells connects on a long one!

                         GO CATS!!!         Eric
