Of course, there are those of us who remember that black day when MW came to the Jungle and utterly whomped Pitt to the tune of, what, 63-14 back in 2012?...

The O needs to do a ceremonial burning of last year’s playbook. As in, set up the burn barrel, toss all the copies in, and light the match....

[lleachieshusband]

Still trying to give the game away?...

[lleachieshusband]

Maybe the students think they’ve seen this game before?...

[lleachieshusband]

So are we playing to win or back to playing not to lose?

[lleachieshusband]

The old NW D had faster corners and middle LBs that the DL “could” bring 5-7....

[lleachieshusband]

But what about Pitt vs the even more dreaded Goalpost? :-).

[lleachieshusband]

Now the question I have is this: is NW going to start hitting some consistency or is it going to be a case of “which NW team shows up on a given week”?...

[lleachieshusband]

So what the heck is happening this evening? ESU is leading Pitt, UCO is leading Central …...

[lleachieshusband]

What’s thrown me about the decline of the last two years is this: we know about our problems on offense and have for years. But why in the last two...

Given how we’ve been playing, 14-0 might as well be 34-0, which coincidentally might be the final score of this game....

And an equally big tough mean DL. AD understood the fundamentals: if your OL and DL are both dominant, to the point that you can dictate on both sides...

[lleachieshusband]

If the OL is struggling that bad, it may also explain in part why our run game sucks this year. If they aren’t doing so hot at pass protect they likely...

[lleachieshusband]

Dunno. It’s another evening game, so maybe that will change when they go to the afternoon games?...

[lleachieshusband]

Which takes me back to the theory that neither coach has much faith in their respective sides of the ball and are playing too conservatively to the point...

[lleachieshusband]

Makes you wonder what the parents are thinking these days about the season so far. After all, it’s not like they sent their kids to NW to play football...

[lleachieshusband]

That’s not a leak; that’s something any competent DC will pick up from watching game film … from last year. Or the year before. Or the year before...

[lleachieshusband]

Actually, look over on the UCO fans thread - the idea is for UCO to go D1, for AD to hire Rich as his DC and take Sturdy with him. Then NW rebuilds the...

[lleachieshusband]

I think this year is going to be an example of “if you have to suck, you might as well go all in”....

[lleachieshusband]

So does our O-line suck or is our returning RB not 100%?

or both?...
