[NU Sports] Post-game thought

[hakirsch at aol.com]

I went to the game and was proud how we hung in there. No question without kafka we could hardly make a first down thus leaving the D on the field too long.  You don't get burnt by 2 huge plays and a 25 yard pass play without just being too tired.  Would we had won with him ? Perhaps perhaps not but I bet it would have been close

I agree, when Persa came into the game, the passing game obviously
suffered.  PSU brought their D up to take out the short passing game, and
Persa didn't have time to go deep, so that was that.  Before that, though,
the offense was moving the ball well.

The D also did a nice job minus the two back-to-back plays when they were
deceived and let PSU rack up long TDs.  I was a bit surprised because I
expected that to be the way it looked all day.

Next week will be interesting; Iowa is definitely vulnerable although NU
can't afford any mistakes (once again).

Also, the game atmosphere was good today, it was too bad the stands weren't
completely full.
