It seemed to me that they were out of Meyer's range especially with the wind in his face. They called a pretty boneheaded play anyway, might as well punt there make Purdue go 15-30 extra yards. Just a thought.
Am I the only one who thought they should have punted on that 4th down at the end. Bring Weinke in for a short punt possibly pin them inside the 10. I like our chances better. Ironically this comes a week after 4th and inches...
Northwestern seems to play their best when their stadium is filled with the opposing teams fans, maybe its a good thing not many hawk fans will be in attendance. I'm leaving for Chicago tomorrow morning, gonna party all weekend boys.
Vandenberg had a lot of help last year with McNutt catching his passes, lets see how he does this year, Keenan has the stuff to be a good playmaker but I'm not so sure he has what McNutt had last year.
There will be a Hawkeye huddle at Navy Pier the night before the game, other than that there is a great hawkeye bar in wrigleyville named Merkles Pub. Chicago is filled with great places to go.
