So after reading this thread I've come to the conclusion that we're playing Northern Iowa....or Northern Illinois...one of the two, and the fans of whichever team it is sound just like Miami fans last year. Anyways, it should be a fun game. I'll enjoy drinking lots of beer and Crown Royal after the starters come out in the second quarter. I don't wanna be too drunk to start out the season:biggrin:

Probably pointed out already, but our Bucks have sometimes had their hands full on 1st or 2nd OOC play to begin seasons. Even when we were heavily favored, as with NIU.

Especially before Horns game, JT isn't going to go much beyond vanilla offensive sets. No way will we see JT let loose a barrage of what will be the main attack a week later.

Very basic stuff, running to control clock, special teams, avoid injuries, fine tune. NIU might make it respectable until into 3rd quarter.

I know some ND fans who would take Wolfe over Walker in a heart beat.

They are both good backs. I would have been very glad to have Walker in the OSU backfield not so long ago. Wolfe is a big fish in a smaller pond though. Till Wolfe hits the NFL he may always have someone questioning his accomplishments. That probably is not fair, but it is what happens when the stage on which you play is not as widely recognized.
