To quote noted football prognosticator Clay Nurse of the Fighting Illini, "A win is a win". Yes indeedy and the Cats advanced to 2-0 by sneaking by the Eagles of EMU 27-24. The day was saved by Stefan Demos who nailed a monster 49-yard FG as the clock wound down; this was only Demos third career field goal and a clutch effort.
Let's take a quick look at how things are stacking up for the Cats. Looking back, the Cats pummelled Towson in the season opener. But Towson improved in week #2, avoiding another loss by having a bye week. They will face Coastal Carolina next week, who trashed Monmouth this week. Learn anything from that? Yea, if you didn't already know it, Towson was a cupcake that plays other cupcakes and we learned nothing from the Towson game other than we can beat a cupcake.
Eastern Michigan is now 0-2. In their season opener, they were beaten by Army 27-14. And Army in week #2? Crushed by Duke. Deep analysis? EMU is as much of a cupcake as Towson, thus NU's a-win-is-a-win over EMU is not promising.
Next up for the Cats is Syracuse. In week #1, Syracuse almost took down the Golden Gophers, and in week #2, they looked pretty good considering they were totally over-matched by a loaded Penn State squad. If the Cats go to Syracuse and play flat, it will not be a good result.

Gotta give the Cats credit for a schedule that gets tougher every week for at least the first five games, but not playing anybody too strong until the 9th week (Penn State)... Glen
I don't know about these creampuff games. Cats haven't figured out they have to show up for the second half yet....glen
LOL yea that includes Minnesota which as we all know, is in a state that never produced anything (or anyone) good!
Fishhead,
Are you calling me a liar? If so, were going to have to censure you.
And the orange character is the Syracuse idiot?...glen
That's Otto the Orange, the Syracuse mascot...
