[NU Sports] The view from Madison

[Beamsley, Jeff]

I agree.

Sort of like a Bob Gibson fastball.  Even when you know it is coming, the best players could only hit one out of three.  So regardless of what we knew, we still had to execute.

Also it's not bad to be able to get into the heads of the teams that you are playing. Fortunately we do it with guile rather than paint.

I did appreciate the tip of the hat to playing smart.  I think that the players from the big BT schools where we've had some success (Iowa, Minny, Wisky, etc.) have a lot more respect for NU football than maybe their fans do.

As far as playing to our tendencies, Bielma in the post game press conference said that we did surprise them with some new stuff that was schemed just for them.  I haven't seen it recently, but I recall that GB used to brag about how quickly our guys could learn new stuff compared with past teams he'd coached.

Well, shame on their defensive guys for not changing the signals regularly. Maybe they can't count on their players being smart enough to learn new signals each week?

I would think the coverages would have the same names, but turning them on and off would require a signal change - of course maybe the Cats also watched enough film to know which coverage Wiscy was in or changing to when they did it.

Anyway, I get tired of players whining about another coach appearing to read their minds. They were giving away their coverages, our guys were well schooled in what those coverages were, and we took advantage of that. They had video of our defense, and should have been able to read them also, but they didn't.

The Hank/Inside info angle is very interesting, equally interesting is the complete respect they have for the intelligence of our guys - they go out of their way to emphasize it.
