Gentilviso: Answering those pesky questions
Monday, November 24th, 2008To those who bet against Northwestern football this season, my deepest condolences.
When I saw the Wildcats listed as three point underdogs against the Fighting Illini at home, I was puzzled.

Conservative play calling costs the Cats
Saturday, November 15th, 2008Ann Arbor, Mich. — Facing fourth and three in NU territory, Michigan’s offense was stymied on a pass breakup by Brad Phillips.
The defense did its job. The same cannot be said for the offense.
1Q Update: Michigan finding its ground game
Saturday, November 15th, 2008Ann Arbor, Mich. — Rich Rodriguez no longer has speedy West Virginia quarterback Pat White at his disposal for zone read runs.
Through one quarter of play, Nick Sheridan is proving to be a viable alternative.
