Maureen brought up "Could you imagine Hank as the DC in 2000?"

The thought of that made me cringe.  With a defense that did not allow last minute touchdowns and the offensive efficiency during the Baz and Zak eras...

With McGee and Wilson we had O-coordinators trying to win games and our D-coordinators were trying not to lose the game.  Now it seems like it is the reverse.  We had a few games where our offense would go into a shell and try to run out the clock with over a quarter left.

NU got a mention on the OSU-Texas ESPN radio broadcast last night--it was more or less a complement. The announcers quoted the OSU D.C. talking about how tough it was facing Texas with their complex schemes. He said they were Northwestern and Purdue schemes, but with USC talent. 

Also, there's a very good story on Kevin Wilson in the Tribune today. Must read for NU fans--some good stuff about his relationship with Randy, how hard it was to leave, some kidding around with Kustok, etc.
