Did any of you football geniuses watch the Northwestern vs Sparty game? Someone give me the takeaways from that hot mess because it still blows my mind that the Sparty team we played could beat anyone. Edit...looks like NW turnovers were the biggest culprit....

Someone give me the takeaways from that

both teams are ferociously average and posses about one tenth of the talent OSU brings to the table.

I expect Northwesten to go the Rutgers route with the trick plays and misdirection. It's their only chance for big plays.

Northwestern coach backs decision to put Ohio State in Big Ten title game

Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said he supported the decision to move No. 4 Ohio State into next week's Big Ten title game against his team, which he expects won't be given much of a chance to win.

"I'm sure we're going to be underdogs by like 70," Fitzgerald joked following No. 14 Northwestern's 28-10 win over Illinois on Saturday.

To not be able to watch The Game and have another week to wait until (maybe) we play our next one.........
Sheesh.

Bye bye Florida......for a playoff berth. Now I can root for Florida to beat Alabama (ya right that might happen)

I hope to god they let the radio crews into the game this week. The Sparty game was nearly unlistenable due to the garbage tv feed Keels was relying on.

I watched Michigan State lose their lead to Penn State today in the 2nd half. How does anyone on that defense have a scholarship to play football? They thought they were playing 2-hand-touch, or something, except on that punt return they didn't want to even touch Penn State. They had chances to tackle on all of these big plays, and made really lame attempts to tackle. I don't know how Sparty would beat a team of 6th-graders. It was that bad.

Since Northwestern played 6-7 other games, and won something like 5-6 of them, I'll assume that aliens replaced either today's Sparty team or the one that played Northwestern. Cripes. If I were a Penn State fan, I'd think my team could beat Bama now.

Banned from the conference? That's about the only thing that would satisfy me at this point.

This comment aside, I've always been a huge fan of Fitzgerald. But this comment makes me like him even more. That said, yes Pat, I sure would enjoy beating you by 70 since we weren't allowed the opportunity to do it to the skunk weasels this weekend.
