[NU Sports] One week from today....

Miami:  As much as we shouldn't give reasons for being  1-6 vs. the MAC 
daddies, there has been a "clink" in the Redhawk arsenal since  Big Ben left.  The 
last two games in this series, Northwestern has been  leveled by a Super Bowl 
QB (...I have a thought...Peyton Manning 1997 Citrus  Bowl?).
   In 1995 RW's Redhawks lost only one game.  This was  before bowl tie-ins, 
and somehow Miami sat at home.
   1972-1994:  Historically good team vs. NU in the Dark  Ages. Nuff said.
   I can see an advantage of Miami playing at home vs. BCS team.  The 
examples are too numerous to cite that non-BCS teams at home REALLY get up  for these 
games.
   But we'll be ready.  A veteran OL and defense will be up  for the task.  
It will not be easy. I predict we'll maintain a 10-14 point  lead, but hang on 
by our toenails.  I predict a 34-31 victory.  I  see TS and Jordan and 
Roberson rolling up 300 yards. Please, someone  become a punter.  Clock Management 
and punting/punt coverage will decide  games this year.
   I'm excited, but saddened that our beloved coach  will not be on (in) his 
rightful place.
 
Trust the  Plan,                     Eric
