[NU Sports] Thoughts

[Sportsbiz]

Good points all but it is games (and film) like this one that teams learn
from and thankfully we won.  In the past that wasn't always the case and
isn't the old coaching saw, teams improve the most from the first to the
second game so let's see what happens next week, even if it won't be a true
test.  I think a week of carefully edited film study is likely to work
wonders.
