Just awesome! What a fun night all around. These are moments that keep me addicted to sports even though I mostly root for teams who lose more than they win. Maybe something special is starting here at Northwestern.

The new field is a dump. I saw giant holes every time the offense had the ball.

Random observation. Noticed there was a 1995 Rosebowl Mural featuring Fitz. Funny since he had a broken leg that game. Subtle troll?

The new offensive line with Schaller inserted and McGuire moved over seems a lot better than what we had previously

For all the years of hearing about getting certain NU players the ball in space, I’ve never seen it happen to another Northwestern player as regularly as it‘s been happening to Himon. Play after play, he has one move to make, or one tackle to avoid, and there is suddenly nobody in front of him downfield.

Chip is a genius.

Braun is the HC and needs to see that emotional reward of a FG far outweighs the momentum shift of a failed attempt.
Disagree. You score a TD and you break them. Game over. One thing I liked about Fitz was his willingness to go on 4th. The percentages play out. Now you got Kelly calling the plays and it’s no regret or hesitation.
