I am not copying any ones comments because I don't want to bring attention to idiotic comments.

The Bobcats won the toss and elected to defer to the second half.

The Huskies chose to head SOUTH towards the HILL in the first quarter so that in the SECOND quarter they would have the WIND AT THEIR BACKS.

In the second half The Bobcats chose to defend NORTH END ZONE so that in the fourth quarter the BOBCATS would have the WIND at their BACKS.

WHY did EACH TEAM do THAT if there was NO WIND??

BECAUSE THERE WAS WIND and at times like on the FIRST KICK off of the SECOND QUARTER a very high kick by the BOBCATS into the WIND did not go real far and was returned real far. Then the next KICK in the second quarter, seeing that the earlier kick IN THE SAME DIRECTION was smartly squibbed with a shorter return then the earlier.

The pooch punt would have been an attempt of over 45 yards INTO THE WIND. The Pooch punt while not necessarily traveling far put the Huskies on the 15 yard line--not bad.

MY NON INTERESTED FOOTBALL SPOUSE commented to me all first half of how GOOD THE BREEZE OUT OF THE SOUTH FELT and how BEAUTIFUL the FLAGS of PEDEN STADIUM DANCED in the BREEZE.

The wind calmed considerably by the 4th quarter. Why are you arguing with people who were at the game?

Because of the huge difference in yardage given up on defense, I was just wondering if we substituted much more in the second half, or that NIU just was less conservative then. They only had 78 yards in the first half versus 215 in the second. For a lousy offensive team, that’s a lot.

The wind was substantial above the field. NIU’s punts came off great and then hit the wind and then they died going south. The American flag was crisp. If you watched the senior introductions you would have noticed the all-state net “field goal” on the south end being pushed through the field goal on the field of play side. The kickoffs were clearly up in the wind kicking north… the long return you could clearly see the ball die kicking to the south. The squib was a good call because the kicker couldn’t reach the endzone kicking south. Also the punt from the field goal position would have been over 50 yards. Anyone saying anything different were not at the game.
