Wow what a game! This game made you forget for a while that we were 4=6. You forgot about it because the players played with tremendous determination. The offense can move the ball against any team right now and yes they make a few mistakes, but they are fun to watch. All except when we turn the ball over anyway.
The defense is improving each game. There was tons of gang tackling on a ton of plays. Yes they give up some yards but we ARE getting better on defense. I thought Chris Jones played his best game and it was pretty darn good.. The front four were beating MSU on a lot of plays. So good to see.
I've said all year it feels like we can beat anybody but we also can be beat by anybody. It may come down to how bad we want it and we wouldn't bad last night.
We beat Michigan St. who had a 12 game winning streak in the Big Ten in away games.
Hated to hear we were booing the play calling when we passed near the goal line and then the next play Armstrong threw a terrible pass for an interception. This happened after Imani Cross and the offensive line had ran the ball down the field. But still don't BOO!
You have to be very impressed with Imani Cross. He showed some great skills in moving quickly and then just running over people. How about Westercamp and Reilly. Excellent receivers.Unbelievable game for both of those guys.
Armstrong had a good game and ran the ball more than normal which was good. When Armstrong is rolling out left, which is a very hard way to throw the ball, his mechanics are great and he is\at his best throwing.
NU had 7.2 yards per play Saturday against a great team. This shows NU's offense is very potent. 39 points against Michigan St. and 45 points against Purdue.
Let's keep this going. Beat Rutgers this next weekend.
