[NU Sports] The road to Detroit

[mlinhardt at netzero.net]

If there is any advantage I think it is with the Cats.  

Defense is reactive and knowing what you are reacting to is an advantage.

OTOH I don't believe Dunbar can help out Minnesota's defense as usually the coordinators are independent and there is little collaboration -- each has their own fiefdom.

What really scares me is Wheelwright their 6'5" WR.  He has 5 TDs on the season and our secondary is not quite there ;-)

Reading the game notes I can't believe they have won 3 straight vs. us as I thought we had their number.  I know one loss was the game moved by the Twins playoffs, which was bull-crud.

It should be beautiful football weather.  Hopefully we can continue the offensive explosion.

IMHO, the issue is that Dunbar knows how NU plays defense, he ran his [and RW's] offense against it all the time he and Colby were here. At the same time, Colby knows pretty much what Dunbar would run - its like everyone who plays me knows I tend to run a 31 Dive [fullback up the middle] as my first play in a game. Every OC, including Mr. Dunbar has those kinds of traits, traits Fitz and Colby should remember.

At the same time, Dunbar should be able to draw up scout team plays that match what the Cats run.

While you would normally expect a big offensive show, I'm not sure that both defenses come prepared to hold the other team down. 

In any case this one is Dunbar vs McGee and it should be a dandy game for homecoming - especially when we win.
