Braun had better be chewing out the refs. If he really is sick of this “Northwestern nice,” “happy to be here” stuff he’s gotta show it. Fitz would have.

Completely mahandled on both sides of the line this entire game. Anything can happen I suppose but it’s 95% likely a loss when that happens.

The team that lost to Bowling Green in the Detroit bowl and the one that lost the Ticket City bowl were pretty marginal. Not a fair judgment of our offense tonight but the D is really bad, definitely not bowl team caliber.

The Motor City Bowl year team had Jason Wright who was legit. That was a good Bowling Green team with Josh Harris. Northwestern was big favorites. It happens.

The year we lost to A&M? I think this team is the worst.

wind at your back isn't always so good for passing but I think the wind has deeded down a lot.
