I miss Kain Colter. We just don't have any speed at the skill positions. He was the only NU offensive player I can remember in a long time that looked like an FBS level athlete.

Has a team ever named their punter MVP? Or Northwestern make history with this fun stat as well?

Safety blitz by NU.... not a problem for an FCS team to pick it up and have plenty of time to throw a deep ball.

What the...Hartage? He played that great with eyes on the ball but inexplicably doesn't go up to defend the pass. He could've had an INT???

When was the last time an NU receiver pushed off to make a catch? Everybody else does it. We never do it.

Now Harris is laying eggs out there. Why is it that even our returning starters look slower and worse this year?

And why didn't Fitz call TO to challenge that catch? Maybe if they overruled the catch they would've given the option of accepting the PI.

Whose waiting for the apologists to arrive and explain what a great team ISU is and to watch for them in the FCS championship?

Anyone know who the refs are for this game? They seem very disorganized and just in over their heads

Pass interference on that last pass. What are they looking at. Face guarded and pushed before ball arrived.

Absolutely. The defender was inside our receiver's shirt and face guarding. No call. Harris barely touched their guy: 2 calls.

ISU played for the FCS championship a couple years ago. Good team. We should beat then by 2-3 TDs.
