[NU Sports] I'll serve

Can you believe this?  After years of offense first,  defense a distant 
second, and special teams...what special teams....  we  have a team winning with 
maximum defensive effort and stellar special  teams.  Who would have thunk it?
   2nd half offense:  OK, Sutton was out ; I'm assuming  he'll be OK for 
Iowa.  My problem with McCall's play selection with Conteh  is that he's not very 
good running misdirection or end arounds.  He's a  north-south guy ; give him 
the damn ball and have him hit the hole in a hurry,  like the 16 yard gain in 
the 4th Q.  In the 2nd half, twice the offensive  line provided a seam for 
Omar, but he's not a cut-back runner like Tyrell. And  the misdirection plays 
that we kept on running...ugh!  
  The offensive line wasn't too good all day, and Bacher stunk. Of  course 
the only 2 drops of the day occurred on 3rd down, and a catch would have  meant 
a first down.  (Sutton in the first half and Ward in the 2nd  half.)  And 
where was Andrew Brewer? 
  Good side:  Sutton looked good (not great) before his  injury.  Villareall 
has been dead-on, and he nailed a 46 yarder  today?  Vince Browne cloned 
himself, and McManis played terrific.
   So we win on defense and special teams?  Or can our  offense (we NEED 
Sutton) get straightened out during conference play?  Now  that's a story line I 
wouldn't have expected being 4-0.
 
          GO  CATS!!!           Eric
