The "Doorknob Awards"

Doorknob is a nickname for Denny Doornbos our defensive coordinator who is infamous for our "NIU Prevent D" which has to be one of the worst defenses ever and has cost us several games in the past including our MAC Championship.

Re-watching some of the highlights (lowlights) courtesy of http://www.godawgz.com of the game I thought that these players weren't up to snuff:

#60 RT Jon Brost - Completely whiffed the guy rushing on Dan's first INT for a pick-6. He also didn't block anybody on this screen pass to JA for a TD.
#70 LT Chris Acevedo - I don't know what kind of block that was in Dan's first INT. He looked like he was playing patty-cake. Doesn't show a lot of effort in his blocking attempts.

#96 TE Bryan Beckner - WTF kind of block is this???

#32 FS Jeff Fontana - Completely blew his assignments and gave up 2 late TDs. Owned for TDs here and here. Can somebody tell me why a guy not even on our 2-deep is playing at that point in the game???
