2000 Northwestern Football & 54-51 Michigan Game

[ohiovalleycat]

BTN doing recap right now of 54-51 NU victor over Michigan with a overview of the Wildcat's 2001 season leading to the game and the backdrop of Wildcats resurgence in the 1990s to where it can contend against teams like Michigan. It is kind of nostalgic seeing back in the olden days when the Wildcats were viewed as having an innovative offense, especially in contrast to the current situation. A summary is also on the Youtubes:

Excellent, and moving, retrospective. Don't miss it, as it is playing again. THAT is the Northwestern football we know and love. While Fitz has had a remarkable run, he has never quite equalled that night. And we have not seen anything close to it in the teams of last year and this.

Those were the days, my friend. Beat Mich 3 times in 6 years

I remember Steve Spurrier when he was at South Carolina saying he was heavily influenced by Northwestern’s offense. Now no one would emulate anything we do scheme wise.

If Fitz is going to retain JON, I think they need to do what RW and Kevin Wilson did in 2000, learn a new defense from someone and make a complete overhaul. The offense, I don’t quite know what to do, it seems like the system may be OK but we need better OL, QB and WR coaching and it would work well enough. I don’t think there are more transformational offenses to invent now compared to 2000.

Good idea: how about Hankwitz?

Hey, If I ran the BTN, I wouldn't be posting here. However, someone, somewhere posted there will be several showings. Sorry, but I do not know when.
