[NU Sports] Unfortunate Day

In the first half it was great, it the second it was
nonexistent. Part of that may have been falling behind
before half and forcing us to pass more - but UNH
adjusted to our sweeps and we needed to do more up the
gut with Jordan.

Speaking of which - was Sutton hurt? It seemed like he
didn't play the second half. Maybe it was just because
Jordan was a better north-south runner.

It was almost a mirror of NU's game. Inexperienced QB
... no help from the rest of the team thanks to
turnovers ... fall behind and get blitzed and make
more mistakes.

I hope Lloyd Carr hits his head this week and doesn't

because the Irish are not this good!

Me too on both accounts. Yikes Illini! And Iowa???
Maybe this was their September Stinker - get it out of
the way and still win before Iowa State?

GO CATS!!!
