    Volleyball

    This is bad and will not only be bad for recruiting but but bad for the players. Team was close to being competitive. Hope they get a coach soon.

    WR Eligibility

    NU had 3 quality receivers, 3 RBs and a TEs that at least needed to be coverered. Ecellent group at skill positions. WIth a stronger OL NU would have been tough It us a position group that NU should be better at.

    Carping on the Lausch package again

    Lausch package will not work unless he proves he can throw a pass. The problem with the two tight end set bunched up is it forces a battle at the line of scrimmage which was not NUs strength. The D Line did well all year, O Line did not so why pressure the O line. QB should be under center but...

    Ben Affleck oops Bryant was a warrior

    Persa like effort that last run. NU had very strong units at offense skill positions and DBS. DBs who can allow a safety to stay in run protection makes up for a lot D Line was also a surprise.

    bajakian sucks eggs...

    Jake was part of a winning team. OCs take a lot of heat and the Oline was the team weakness.. The Receivers and RBS were very good. With a decent O LINE NU would have been really tough I felt a little bad after the win but Coordinators do very well for themselves. He will be fine. The program...

    Hubris

    The schedule breaks and exams didnt help. Lack of a true PF hurt in the Chicago State game and will hurt. BB and Martinelli play hard and are doing great but we are not getting consistent inside play. Trayce Jackson Davis for IU carried his team. NU wins over IU were great as they overcame that...

    The B1G looks to be a very tight race this year.

    Conference is not as strong this year with only at Purdue and at ILLinois looking like sure losses. NU has enough opportunities to be upper half and in the Tourney for year 2. Win vs Az State would be a good road win.

    Bowl Destination is a Gragg Fail

    The scandal is older news and the story about how NU had a resilient year and winning team will be the story. The team has the Hat and a bowl bid. At least that story, which true will entice Utah fans to attend. This is a high quality opponent in a great location. The timing is what is...
