zipboy Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Enough talk about attendance and bowl games. Let's talk what really matters, football with 2 good teams. My thoughts on the game. 1. Ever since Horvath went down and the FR stepped in at QB, NIU has been unstoppable. I imagine that Wolfe being healthly has something to do with that. 2. Sam Hurd killed us last time. How do we stop him? I imagine that we still try to shut Wolfe down and make their passing game beat us. 3. Our D has played well ever since the Miami game. I don't see that stopping in this game. I like our run D. We should know early on who is winning in the trenches. Kiki, we need you to play an unbelievable game. 4. Does NIU put 8 guys in the box? If I am Novak I bring the house to stop Biggs and make Getsy beat me. That worked the first time, Luke had his best game of the season. If he plays that way again we win. If he plays a solid unspectacular game, we may be in trouble. I give him credit for coming back after Ball State. He was outstanding vs Ohio and he managed the game well vs Can't. 5. It was nice having 9-10 days to prepare and get our legs back for the last 2 games. Hopefully the team came out healthy after Can't. 6. Special team, special teams, special teams On a side note, I ran into Horvaths' mother at the end of the game back in Sept. I wished her well and told her great Phil played. Nice person, glad that we are playing them in the title game. A caravan of 20 buses heading north is going to be awesome. How about some banners on the outside of those buses to let Ohio know that the ZipsNation is making some noise? Go Zips!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All around good post. NIU killed us the first game with deep passes down the middle and a couple of weeks later we were killed again by these patterns. They seem to have that problem resolved. In addition to banners, if anyone has any of those car magnets, put one on your bus. The University does not have any more. These are a great advertisement. The school should get some more and either give them away or sell them. I think we are all in for a good game on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
