[NU Sports] Sad Cats

[DPENDERG at aol.com]

Bottom line is that we are not physically or talent-wise a good Big Ten  
team.  We're recruiting at the level of an average MAC team  and that must 
change or we will never again compete at the top of the Big  Ten.  I maintain 
that improved recruiting is not something  falling only on the shoulders of 
the football coaching staff but on the entire  University starting with 
President Schapiro and AD Phillips.  If we want to  match Stanford's success in 
the PAC-12, the University must make an  institutional commitment and not 
just show up on Saturday and cheer  from the sidelines.

Our  defense is nothing short of terrible.  It's not quite like the dismal  
days of yore, but they're getting there.  There is no excuse given  the 
number of experienced players in the lineup.  And by the second  half, our 
offense wears down because the offensive line lacks the size and  strength 
to 
play an entire game against a tough defense.  Please, no  excuses about if 
we'd have done this or that or gotten this break we would  have won last 
night.  We got whooped by a physically superior team  just as we did 
against 
Michigan and will several more times before the  season ends sans bowl 
game.
