[NU Sports] Well, now that NU's obligatory awful loss out of its system ...

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

I had thought (hoped) that those were out of our system. Ugh! Army wanted it more today and deserved it - we've got a lot of work to do and need Persa back.

11-1? Well, looking around the league ...

- WISCONSIN rolls again. I still have no idea why Big XII teams are so overrated and the Big Ten's top team is so underrated. They should be in the top 5.
- NEBRASKA rolls, but their defense has not looked as dominant as advertised so far this year.
- IOWA flips the script and gets the thrilling comeback win instead of being come back on by NU ... has Ferentz changed styles?
- PSU survives a trap game like our Army game ... it was ugly, but a W
- MSU looked awful in South Bend despite the Irish continuing to give away the ball, that fake FG call was boneheaded
- MICHIGAN rebounded from a sluggish start ... Hoke's team might not fall apart like Rich Rods
- PURDUE finally rolled over a creampuff ... can they save some of those points for the Notre Dame game?
- MINNY and INDY got wins, which is good because they probably won't see another

And ILLINOIS is starting strong against Sparky here - we're gonna have a tough time stopping them with the way our D played, so we'll need Persa power on the offense to win a shootout.

Lots to work on before we can even talk 3-1 - time to shake it off and regroup.

GO CATS!!
