[NU Sports] Purdue

[WildElk2 at aol.com]

Our old nemesis Joe Tiller comes to town with a...what 8-2  record against 
us?  However, PU has been struggling.  I'm worried that  their last 2 losses has 
been PSU and OSU.  However, they lost to a so-so  Oregon team at home, and 
were whumped by a Notre Dame team that's no better or  worse than we are.
  Common sense says we win tomorrow, and the defense will allow FG's  instead 
of TD's.  Painter has been a bust, and the ground game hasn't  scared too 
many people.  
  Master of the Obvious Dept:  no way we can crawl into a 0-17  hole in the 
1st Q.  Providing we stay close early, we'll wear 'em down in  the trenched and 
take this game.  I'm not real confident we'll win, but I  think our players 
will want this game more than Purdue; perhaps because we  typically get spanked 
by these guys.  I say we win by a whisker; 24-23 on  homecoming.
 
     GO  CATS!!!          Eric
