Denard wasn't playing Minnesota and N'Western's defense. He typically destroyed lesser teams.

Thomas Rawls seems to get things done with this offensive line. Maybe he has better second-effort than Fitz? The size difference is certainly a factor. When the offensive line is shoddy, I think a little bigger, stronger runner can play more effectively.

is a little off track this year. Maybe the off the field stuff left him not as focused as he should be. Although if he would have taken that run in for a score and not fumbled we would be talking about how he is back on track.

Wow, let's immediately start jumping to conclusions, no? Northwestern is a much better team than it gets credit for. Fitzgerald finds ways to win at a school that has no football culture, and most days of the week, a school that probably couldn't care less if its team wins or not. We should all have known that this wasn't going to be a team that would simply roll over when they came to play. This game, unfortunately, will likely come down to the wire.

The main difference comes down to 2 factors: Gardner is more accurate in the passing game and tucks and runs much quicker.
D Robinson makes defenses completely adjust their game. He can break it on any play.

Hoke is undefeated at home. I think we will adjust and come out with better defensive game-plan and mindset. We need to force a turnover or two and offensively stay outta 3rd and long. We do both of those things and were going to be just fine. I still expect a close finish, but one we end up on the right end of. 28-24 blueeeeeeeeee

We should not need a turnover
We should not need a turnover
We should not need a turnover to beat a team that throws 1 of 30 plays
In Hoke we trust...
I think Gardner's biggest strength is that he understands down and distance...and knows how to just get first downs.
Not saying Denard doesn't, but I just think Gardner is better at saying "too risky, I'll pull it down or take my checkdown"
I don't think he was looking to get a first down on that last play, but pull it, and see what happens. If anything, he picks up 6 yards and we kick a FG.
