> I agree that Northwestern didn't lose the game so much as Robinson won it.

Yeah, Robinson got hot about the same time we got cold, though turnovers 
and dubious officiating calls contributed to the loss.  How could they 
have missed that facemask call when Persa's helmet was ripped off??  

And why wasn't that play blown dead IMMEDIATELY?

I wonder if the league office will have a statement about that play?
,
I sure would like to see the Cats play well for a full game.  I'm 
having trouble remembering the last time they did that.  (But most 
teams have ups and down in each game, the Huskers came alive in the 
2nd half last night, and the Buckeyes went cold.)  

Persa seems really hesitant to run with the ball, I don't know
if he's being coached that way over concerns about aggravating
his injury, or if it is just a mental issue.

During the eary part of the game, when they were bringing Colter in
for running plays, that seemed to confuse Michigan, did they
figure it out later on?  

I think the hardest part of our schedule is now behind us, as Iowa,
Penn State, Nebraska and Michigan State all have their flaws
and can all be beaten.  I'm worried about the Rice game, late
season non-conference games are trap games.
