[NU Sports] The road to Detroit

[mlinhardt at netzero.net]

What about the Hog-eyes?

We watched the PSU/Iowa game and it was a pathetic pair of offenses and Iowa had a much weaker defense to go with its very weak offense.

Minnesota - EMU - Iowa
Should -- all 3 look fairly pathetic


Ill-whine-I and Indiana
Definitely Could -- neither of us are sold on the option-happy Illinois.  Neither PSU nor Wisky were looking very good going into the the game with Illinois.  For Indiana it depends on which team shows up.  They scare me more as they have a big receiver and a better QB.


Per-doo
Could -- they were as useless against the Buckeyes as we were


After Michigan our schedule got remarkably easier, but that does not mean we could not blow all 6.  A Michgian game defense combined with a MSU game offense means 6 more wins.  A Michigan game 4th quarter offense combined with a MSU defense means 6 more losses.  I love football.

Fellow Wildcat Faithful,

I think Saturday's win in East Lansing gives us real cause for optimism. We are 3-3 heading into Homecoming. Sure, we should be 4-2, but we still have a very good shot at 6-6 (or better) season. 

I wish we had a stronger running game, but in the Michigan State game we all saw that Bacher can be incredibly productive when the O-line gives him time. I'm still a firm believer that Colby needs to go, but the Michigan game showed us that our defense has potential. It is now up to our coaches to get both the offense and defensive to show up to the same game. 

I feel very good about our chances against Minnesota and Eastern Michigan. If the Cats come through, we're at 5-3. I know that Indiana and Illinois are hot right now, but I think the Cats are capable of beating one of them and knocking off Iowa. 

I will gladly drive 9 hours north to Detroit should a 6-6 NU team go to the Motor City Bowl. Especially if Colby is fired after the regular season and Fitz opts to personally coach the defense until a new DC can be hired. 

There's still reason for optimism. It starts with Gopher meat on Saturday.

Victory & Honor,
Jim
