[NU Sports] At the half

[Dennis W. Brandt]

Depressing.  We are toothless Wildcats making stupid mistakes and senseless penalties.  Watkins' performance is disappointing given that he is no longer a total rookie and has had plenty of practice time.  Our best pass receive is negated not because the defense has stopped him, but because our quarterbacks can't get him the ball.  Our offensive line hasn't improved much since Illinois and Wisconsin.  Tech's passing offense is negating any pass rush we may have with dink-and-dunkers that our soft defense obligingly gives them free of charge.  Suck it up, Mick.  Play your pass defenders tight in the second half.  Lord knows you have nothing to lose.  Barring a miracle, we must suffer through yet another New Year's loss that will do nothing for our recruiting except hurt it.
