A moral victory


The Wildcats played tough, and made the Fish Head look smart by covering the line. But a loss is still a loss, and this was number 6 in a row. Time for everyone to make alternate plans for bowl season.

The windy, wet conditions suppressed both offenses. The NU defense played well, limiting Michigan to 17 points and keeping QB Henne and RB Hart generally in check. Unfortunately, the offense continued its mistake-prone ways with 2 fumbles and 3 INTs and a measly production of 3 points.

Next up for the Cats is the Iowa Hawkeyes. Iowa looks vulnerable with 3 conference losses including a cliffhanger at Indiana (yes Indiana still plays football). If starter Drew Tate is still out, the Cats have a good opportunity to break into the conference win column.
