Expected release date I'm hoping for is late-July/August. Here is a piece from the Purdue/Ohio State watch party chapter...
For the first time in four months, Barnett was finally able to relax and enjoy success. “With six minutes left and on top, 23-8,” Barnett said, “I felt at that point that we had the game won... I’ve really been looking forward to those last six minutes all year long.”
The oppressive Wildcat defense caused five fumbles, nabbed two interceptions, and sacked Purdue’s quarterback twice. “They played at a higher level today”, Barnett said of his defense. Donnie Holmes shined in his first game, substituting for the injured Pat Fitzgerald, leading the team with twelve tackles. Eric Collier had ten and Chris Martin’s MVP performance included an INT, and a blocked punt that forced a safety. Maybe most impressively was holding the 8th best rush attack and the all-star, Alstott, to just 71 yards rushing in his final home game as a Boilermaker.
The Northwestern Wildcats had dominated their opponent again. What was most impressive to many- both in and out of the program- was how the Wildcats handled their business and their success. Throughout their persecution of the Boilermakers, the Wildcats played “honorably and humbly”. Nobody boasted. Celebrations were done with teammates in, or on their way to the huddle. After every hit, a Northwestern defender was shown helping the Purdue casualty up off the turf. After Alstott broke the school record, and the game was momentarily stopped to honor him, Northwestern players proactively went over to shake his hand ceremoniously. This was the true essence of the Northwestern football player- the attitude and ethics that finally led them to success on the field and into the hearts of sports followers across the country.
Fight for Victory!
