RedDenver
Heisman Trophy Winner
After last week and this week we as fans can once again say "Blackshirts". The Blackshirts played tremendously last week and today, but I point to 2 specific instances that lead me to liken this defense to the defenses of old:
Holding the opponent to a field goal when the game was on the line. Both games have come down to a critical turnover late in the game giving Northwestern and Michigan the chance to put up a TD and possibly win the game. The Blckshirts turned both of them away:
NW started at the NU 7 and gained 3 yards in 3 plays before kicking the FG.
UM started at the NU 23 and also only gained 3 yards before kicking the FG.
That's the kind of defense we've always relied on in the clutch to get wins. Great job Blackshirts.
