I dont know anything about the Buffs. I see Aidyn Chiles is playing great tonight for jNW.

This game is looking tougher for the hawks at this point.

Colorado beat Georgia tech, id say NU is better than we thought
Agree that NU is better than we thought....but....Georgia Tech is a crap show. 1-2 with their win against Mercer. They gave the game to Colorado on a late TD and then have a FG blocked on the last play of the game. I think Tech ends up a 4 win team. I guess we will find out Friday when to go to Indiana.

Yah, GT probably would have only beaten UNI by 30 yesterday.

Deion gambled and lost. Brought the hate onto himself and his kids for their clown behavior. Can't say I am not enjoying this.

Looks like none of his homies are showing up for support during the games anymore.

I caught some of the game, Parker will have a great game plan as usual - but QBs like Chiles always give me cause for concern...😬

Colorado is bad their entire starting group is transfers. This is year four for Deion. That shows me he can’t identify or develop young talent. All programs need that to some degree.

without some internal development is will be this cycle of transfers who all have some warts (could play at old school, chasing money, etc) and that is the recipe for a bunch of 7-5 years

the built in advantage of a mobile qb at the college level makes you wonder why anybody recruits pure pocket passers...in college if one guy on defense makes a mistake a qb makes a housecall..nw is still nw, but they will be respectable this year

"Those who can, do; those who cannot, teach."

I suppose that the converse of George Bernard Shaw's quote is also true; i.e., that is why great players (like Bart Star, Deon Sanders, etc.) do not make good coaches.

It all depends upon what you can recruit. Every school wants a Trinidad Chambliss or Sam Leavitt who can both run and pass at a high level, but those guys don't grow on trees. I'd rather have a great passer that makes good decisions and has good pocket awareness and can move around in the pocket to buy time than a so so passer with good wheels.

Georgia Tech is looking a little worse than expected, as well.

I think too many people slept on the fact that Northwestern only had a ho-hum win over a top tier FCS team in South Dakota State, and then sat idle for a week.

Northwestern is going to be a tough out this year, and for us especially, since we have to travel there.

A great o-line helps.
