Tommy's status

Sounded to me like tommy is most likely OUT for this week end and Fyfe is 'the man'. Hope that doesn't end up being the excuse we run the ball 50 of the 64 snaps Saturday and punt 14 times. I would not be surprised if the coaches would like a chance to prove the run game doesn't work. Of course, this is NOT what most of us are saying when it comes to committing to the run. We want the run to be our bread and butter and pass to complement the run. We would not want a non running QB to run our run oriented attack. We want a QB with strong running ability and moderate passing skills to run our ground based attack with diverse set of running plays and a complementary set of play action and drop back and roll out throws. We don't need 5 WRs more than 5 plays a a game. For each 5 WR snaps, we want 2 snaps with 3 RBs and double tight ends.

My "well this ought to be interesting" side is wanting to see NU play Purdue with a Fyfe, Newby backfield.

My "wow this really ought to be interesting" side wants to watch a Darlington, Wilbon backfield (true story). I'm guessing this may be like watching NU impersonate Indiana lol.

Or imitating Ohio State? Fyfe gets hurt early and ???? comes in as third string backup and light the place on fire.!!??

Well the coaches will have an excuse when we drop the game to the worst team in the B1G.

Wiscy beat Illinois with their back-up qb. Even with Fyfe we shouldn't lose to Purdue. I think Tommy will play though, hopefully we can pull it together and get him out of the game early.

 
Pray for Tommy.

I know I will at mass.

Fyfe is not that great...

If Fyfe is the next man up I hope he proves me wrong and owns them.

 
Fyfe throws a very tight spiral and is very accurate. Don't be surprised to see him lead a handful of scoring drives. Him having a great game would be a huge confidence boost for the offense heading into the game against Sparty.

That is not going to happen with this staff, ever. The sooner people get over this, the sooner they will live happier lives free from the stress of wanting the past back.

I'll even go so far as to say what you or I want concerning the team is completely irrelevant.

 
If Armstrong is out & we are going to throw the ball 50 times, I would sure like to see what Zack Darlington and to a lessor extent AJ Bush could do.
