[NU Sports] Any bigger?

[Joe Thiegs]

No one has come back to beat ANYONE by more, EVER in the history of Div. I-A
college football.  The old record was 31 points, when Minnesota blew a 31-0
lead over Ohio State in 1989 (that tied the blown lead record set in a
Maryland-Miami game in the mid-80s).

 

Here's a link to an interesting take on NU's crushing loss:

P.S.  As painful as that loss was to witness (we came back for Homecoming
and everything!), I still feel better about our team after last Saturday's
game than I did after every other game this year except the opening win at
Miami of Ohio.  So I think there is at least some bright side too.

Has anyone come back from more to beat NU?

 

On the bright side, I felt as confident (in the first half) as I

did for a good chunk of last season.  I'm numb right now, but I

have faith that Bacher is the man.
