[NU Sports] Groan!

As usual, after losses like this, wildelk needs time to digest  posts, get 
back to work on Monday and take abuse, etc.  I had a feeling  this was coming, 
as I posted on our list that I felt Duke would win. I predicted  a 24-31 
setback.
   Even so, I've felt miserable since Saturday.   With  that said, I was able 
to watch the Nevada game (with fellow list member  Dennis) and determined 
that our defensive line is too slow.  I think  we need to sacrifice experience 
for speed.  Napo Harris and Kevin bentley  lined up left, right, at LB, all over 
the place.  A good place to start is  with Brad Phillips, as here he can fly. 
  We need someone to disrupt  rhythem!
   So has anyone figured out why we allowed 44 points  collectively in the 
first half the past 2 games, and 7 in the second?
   Offense: as we allowed 20 points vs. Duke and roll up 500  yards and score 
14 points, our offense should have bailed us out.  Take the  FG, run more, 
whatever.
   Coaches: Im provement must be made.  If may have to wait  until after 
Michigan and OSU if your looking for wins.  I knew after the  Nevada game my 
prediction of 8-4 was going to be a reach.  However, our  coaches need to get us 
better. There's a lot of wins out there, and we need to  get to 6 wins for extra 
practices, exposure , etc.  Save Mich and OSU, we  should be in every game.
   We all know that our schedule is the weakest it's been in  years.  It may 
be the thing that saves us
 
GO CATS!!!         Eric
