It's no moose, but...I saw a giant buck in my backyard a few minutes ago. Ever since his appearance, NU has scored a TD on every possession.

So much for the Picozzi pronosticators.
He got a really bad holding call against him, it was a very questionable call. Actually, I think it was unjust and it took us out of a 1st half scoring opportunity which is really big now that it's 7-20.

Yes Sir. Very ticky tak call.

Wow, a 54 yard field goal...things not looking our way. That was a good set of plays by the defense though!

Our DL can't get off blocks to help with the run

Finally. McLaughlin made a play behind the line (Iowa didn't expect the DE to stay home, I think), and now Tomi and Mueller combine to get a sack. Way to go, DLine. I'll live with holding them to a field goal. Now lets go, offense!

Osweiler said all JON needs is players to run his system. Guess we're all wrong.
He said “the only two things Northwestern is missing are” and then I walked away, and I didn’t hear what he said before I returned, but I can only assume it was “an offense and a defense.”

Would still be missing special teams

If the entire team goes in Covid protocol we can forfeit next week’s game and save NU the upcoming shellacking. I know two season ticket holders who won’t go to the game or sell their tickets. There won’t be many NU fans. It will be tough.

I can’t go due to my knee surgery. If any NU fan needs three donated tickets let me know.

This reminds me of the line in Tootsie when Dustin Hoffman is incredulous that no one in New York will work with him, and his agent says something like "New York is too limiting. No one in Hollywood wants to work with you either."
