[NU Sports] I'll go ahead and blame the offense ...

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

Six ... not three, Cats!

We know our defense is awful - and they made Indiana look like Oklahoma on that first series.

But still, that's not a surprise. We know the other team is gonna score. A lot.

The problem in this losing streak is that our offense has played -- at best -- a half of football each game. The could only muster 7 points on Army (the game that really is the killer for our bowl hopes) for most of that game, they started slow at Iowa and they took a half off against the Illini, Wolverines and Nits.

And now they take half a series off to open the IU game -- start strong and then look laxidasical once they get close. Play calling, execution, everything - they need to have a sharp focus and come out with the mentality to move the ball every series and score SIX and not THREE on these drives.

If the Indiana D is as broken down as they say, and our offense is as good as we think, then we should be scoring a touchdown on just about every series this game.

It's not what the D does today, it's what our O does.

They need to wake up and score - and then score some more. And again. And again. And again. For the WHOLE game.

GO CATS!!!
