0-3 Fallout

I don't even know where to start...

  • Dropped balls by Matt Simon and Britt Davis. The Britt Davis drop was a sure TD. KO return dropped by Matt Simon. Punt return dropped by Greg Turner.
  • Patrick George made an appearance on KO returns, which was nice to see. That man has speed.
  • EMU's kicker was awful. They should have won by even more points.
  • Dan Nicholson throwing for that 2-point conversion was so off. He almost threw in to the stands! Give your receivers a chance at least.
  • The "NIU Immaculate Reception" by OG Jason Onyebuagu was one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen. He would have been a legend if we had won. Dan does his typical throw to a crowd of people and the ball hits off 4 or 5 players and ends up with the ball. Happened right in front of my face 20 yds away.
  • 2 Holding penalties at the end of the game hurt so much. Especially by WR Greg Turner.
  • OK, so how the hell do you give up 378 offensive yards to EMU? 189 yds on the ground? Uncacceptable.
  • Something is seriously wrong with our defense. How come we NEVER cause any turnovers or get any interceptions? Our system is garbage and needs to be revamped.
  • #24 Bradley Pruitt is AWFUL at FS. He just keeps getting burnt by the same stupid slant play over and over again!
  • Hey Melvin Rice...TURN AROUND!!!
  • I apologize to Rex Grossman for comparing him to Dan Nicholson.
  • Nicholson, please stop talking:
  • “They were giving us a lot of stuff underneath, but the interception was because of a miscommunication and a good defensive play,” Nicholson said. Nicholson, who completed 20-of-28 passes for 160 yards, redeemed himself by piloting a four-play scoring drive. He drilled a 7-yard touchdown pass to tight end Brandon Davis. The Huskies elected to attempt a two-point play to tie the score. Nicholson rolled to his right, staring down Turner from the snap of the ball. Nicholson's pass sailed over Turner's head, as Anderson stood wide open on the opposite side.

    “I had to move around and readjust my throw,” Nicholson said. “I just didn't put the ball on him.”
  • Demetrius Jones was in the stands, and told reporters he was Phil Brown's cuz. Also that a plane may fly him to Michigan. Ha.
  • NIU has been outscored 44-16 in the 2nd half of games. We need to be a better 2nd half team.
