[NU Sports] At the end

[Dennis W. Brandt]

<[From] what I saw at Ryan Field yesterday is simply not a very well-coached 
team.  Both coaches and players must step up quickly starting at Purdue or 
this season could unravel completely.

All true.  Not only was our tackling horrible, but we were physically 
dominated, too.  We still lack that extra measure of strength, speed, and 
quickness that separates the average teams from the good.  To beat a team 
like Minnesota, you have to tackle in the open field, and we did little of 
that.  Of course, we didn't do it in the interior line either.  High 
expectations, low results.
