they are, of course, all jacked up to play the Hawks.
“We’re coming back with more pi$$ and vinegar this week,†Vitale said, “and I think you can see it in practice. The energy is a lot better. We are hungrier than ever.â€
At 4-3 and 0-3 in the Big Ten, this team is desperate for a victory.
“It’s gut-check time,†Colter said. “It’s all about pride now; we’re not worried about long-term goals."
Oh, and they've won 6 of last 8.

Thank you... I Have been excited to se faith play. Expected to see him sooner this year
Without looking up the actual quote,(I might in a bit) I think Kirk said that Faith is "in the mix" when he was asked specifically about Ekaktie. Wouldn't bet the farm on him being a factor on Saturday.

I agree on Colter not holding Miller's jock strap...doesn't seem the type either. That being said, have you seen our safeties tackle or at least one safety...name of Miller? I'm not talking about the tackle where Hyde spun out and scored...I'm talking about a few other Hyde runs where Miller came up and completely whiffed. I watched the tape again...geez...dude, you can't miss those tackles. I have to admit...Lowdermilk has improved greatly. The play he made in the end zone in the first half to break up that pass was pretty damn impressive. He elevated and got to the ball at the high point, but didn't necessarily rip it out. He did however get there and in effect made the play and stopped a touchdown. He's going to get alot better. If I'm Parker...I'd be questioning some things this week at the safety spot.
NW got healthier during this week. Their top d-tackle, Sean McEvilly, who has been out since Sept 14, was listed as out early in the week on Ftiz's injury report, but now he has said he will be ready to go...late in the week switch to mess with the Iowa staff. McEvilly is a key guy for NW's run defense, which has been bad without him. This game just got a lot tougher, with both McEvilly and Colter back...NW is as healthy as they have been in 6 weeks. It is like Braxton Miller getting healthy vs Iowa after struggling up to that point....Hawks cannot catch a break.
Hawks need to create their own breaks........not count on "catching a break" due to other teams injuries.
I look forward to both teams being at close to full strength when they play tomorrow even though Mark's will not see action.
