  • That might actually be harsh on Sheridan.

    And Wisky's DL losses during the game seemed to really hurt them.

          • UPDATE: Following practice Tuesday, head coach Pat Fitzgerald confirmed that a "typo" had been made on the wristbands. He said that it had an impact on one play, but it was not the 76-yard touchdown on which safety Traveon Henry was beaten.


            Source: Northwestern used wrong wristbands in first half against Cal

            Some of Northwestern's defensive players were given the wrong wristbands during the first half of a 31-24 loss to Cal on Saturday, a source told Inside Northwestern.

            On the television broadcast of the game, cameras caught a Northwestern staffer switching out the play cards from a wristband following a long touchdown throw to put the Golden Bears up 24-7.

            The long touchdown throw came at the expense of safety Traveon Henry, who appeared to be beaten on the play. As part of a film breakdown of the game's key plays, a writer picked apart that play and had some questions about what seemed like a coverage error.
            Assuming I'm right about Northwestern's coverage call on this play, there are two questions: first, why it took until the pump fake for one of the defensive backs to react to the receiver in the flat, and, second, why the other wasn't looking only to the deep route. The point of cover 4, to a large extent, is that it positions players to have an advantage against deep routes, without the natural downfield seams of cover 2 and cover 3. It is supposed to be weak to quick throws that force the secondary to tackle in space and combinations that stress the coverage rules deep (like running a curl in front of the safety to open room for an outside receiver running a post), not to a single receiver running deep. There is a basic problem of execution here, possibly exacerbated by poor communication.
            This equipment error may have contributed to Northwestern's struggles stopping Cal in the first half. The Golden Bears managed to rack up 270 of the team's 414 yards of total offense in the first half, including 156 in the first quarter alone. In the second half, though, Northwestern's defense tightened up, giving the Wildcats a chance to mount a comeback.

                        good question. you'd think after the first couple busted plays, someone would have started suggesting they had it right and they would have figured it out.

                            • Embarrassingly, the marquis programs of the Big Ten playing ranked opponents got swept. Couple that with Wisconsin's loss last week against LSU And no one should be complaining that the BIG gets dissed by the sports press.

                              Deservedly so.
                              Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.
