    General: We've been on ESPN's Bottom 10 for too damn long and we're starting to improve, something we haven't witnessed since 1995.

    Coaching: HC Jeff Genyk was a big factor behind the success of Northwestern's spread offense. Problem: Typical MAC coach, scores a lot then gives up a lot of points.

    Offense: Our record-setting TB is currently fourth-string because he can't keep his attitude in check. We're starting a freshman who's almost as good.

    Our top WR, Eric Deslauriers, has been tough to handle for the last 12 games.

    Defense: EMU moved three DLs to the OL just to keep the OL two-deep. As a result our D-line has an average weight of 240 and had to use LBs (up front) in order to make up for two ailing starters. The DL will be a heavily-recruited position for next season.

    We might start two freshmen at LB in the future. We have a freshman already starting at MLB (Dan Holtzclaw). He should've gone to Oklahoma but OU only offered a preferred walk-on spot.

    Once again, our secondary has a converted WR starting at corner and we use undersized safeties.

    Reality: EMU couldn't tackle any Bearcat so Cincinnati dominated the time-of-possession. As a result, UC squeaked by EMU 28-26. We couldn't even give our all-american kicker a chance to put us ahead.
