[NU Sports] Sooners Offense Is Like Something Gators Meyer Has See n Before

[cherron604 at aol.com]

What all of this emphasizes is that we must do whatever is necessary to make sure that Coaches Fitz and Hank remain together as long as they both want to or can.? It was demonstrated this season that with a very well coached defense, victories are possible, even if the offense suffers some injuries.

We lost two quality coordinators (Dunbar and KW) for reasons that were never 100% clear (to me anyway).? Clearly, KW found a program where he can be competing for a National Championship frequently.? Dunbar's quest has not been so clean cut.

I even like the fact that GB texts PF frequently (yes, I know he was Hamlet, and spurned us, and probably regrets that deeply...), and they discuss topics.? The GB/Walk/Fitz network (with Coach Hank as a double member) is expanding, and bringing together quality coaches, both here and with our opponents.? All of that can only be for the good.

Chuck Herron?? Tech '85

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.
