Last week I published an article, No, the Northwestern Game is Not a “Must Win.” Click on the link if you didn’t read it.
I thought I was in the minority when I wrote it, but after last Saturday it feels even more so. This is particularly, in my opinion, a result of the bad on-side kick decision. If Northwestern gets the ball at their 20 yard line and runs it 18 straight times (like they did to finish the game) and scores the touchdown then the conversation is different.
Well it’s a little different.
