Obviously, we have no real indicator of our team's abilities, as yet. Playing Purdue, in their big house, with a new QB against a veteran D, tells me little. Our men had some moments (not flushes!!!) of brilliance, and I was encouraged by a lot of things. However, we should have rocked MTSU, IMO.
There is some flaming on the Northern Ill boards. But this was expected. They are very good, however, they haven't been tested yet, either. You cannot read anything significant into their Michigan loss nor their win against 1-AA Tenn. Tech.
I am the etenal optimist, however. I know that JD is upgrading the program by leaps and bounds, we've played well at the Rubber Bowl and it is our home opener.
Any thoughts on crowd size Saturday?
