[NU Sports] NU/Syracuse

Nice 2nd half, and when was the last time we gave up 62 yards  in one half?  
If Hahn would have wrapped up the ball carrier after Sutton's  early 3rd Q. 
fumble, it may have forced a Syracuse FG attempt, and we give up no  TD's.
   Bacher completed passes to 10 different receivers, and I  counted (3) 
drops.  I was disappointed that Peterman didn't do better, but  he'll have his day 
soon enough.  As one poster pointed out, when Bacher  stopped forcing it into 
Brewer, he looked a lot better. BTW, Peterman and Brewer  both had dropped 
passes, hopefully a casualty of first game excitement.
   The interior play on both sides of the line was  outstanding.  I liked the 
gang tackling, and Dutton and Conteh had some  nice holes.  While not putting 
a great amount of pressure on the QB, it was  enough and our run defense 
constantly clogged holes. 
   All and all, a fine day in Evanston, and 4,000 more at the  first home 
game than last year. Now let's go to Durham and beat the @#%$!*^ out  of Dook!
   One more thing. Dennis (TBNG) is the knower of all things told  and 
untold.  He forecasted a 36-10 Cat win;' I saw 38-24; much more  scoring.  Way to go 
buddy!
 
                GO CATS!!!          Eric
