I hope we put our big boy pants on and run right through them. TA is probably not going to play so the running backs are going to make up for that. WE are a big ten team not a pac 12 so let's stick it to them and show them what a good running team could look like. Besides running wears them down

Gene Baker

Without Tommy we will need Terrell Newby and company to come up big, and with a healthy O line we should control the game and help Ryker and our D.

Michael Morkert

We do not have an accurate passer in Fyfe so we may have to run 60% to 70 % of the time.

Richard Johnson

Aside from staying in the locker room, running the ball makes the most sense of avoiding an embarrassment,

Mary Lyne

I think it is obvious with Ryker in limited playing time. Line up and run the ball. They may know it is coming but their stats are not that inimidating

Katie Hobson

Cancel The Game For Goodness Sakes. Why Embarrass Us Fans Who Have Wasted Their Money And Time??? We Barely Have A Team To Field. No QB, No Westy, No Gerry, ect...

I was impressed by some of the balls that Ryker threw. So I look forward to a few more passes, slinging it is not the term I would really use. We still want a ground game but it might not be there.

I do not care HOW the punting is done. Only that it leads to WINS.

Steve Rentzell

If something is broken, what does it hurt to try something different. Insanity- Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

Danny Purcell

taking full advantage of college rules

Ron Graf

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Anything less than a drop kick just isn't trying. Additionally, NU had a punter who averaged 44 yards a kick and he had to transfer for a player to be named later. Maybe get the rugby guy in and set in place before upending what would have been a solid punting game.

Too much hassle (200 miles away) for an unknown event.

Tom Cullinan

The event is a non-starter compared to the structure of actual plays and the support of young men working to find their place on the team.

Richard Johnson

No interest in 7-on-7.

Dan Larsen

Live in Dayton, Ohio! 800 miles one-way.... but I am a season ticket holder. See you during the season.

Ryan Goecke

If I want to see a carnival or a faire I'll go see one. This change shows fear of being a competitor on the part of Rhule and NU Athletics. It's embarrassing.

Dave Kapke

I live in Colorado

Kent Haynes

I can see both sides. But it is losing a tradition.

Bruce Craig

Losing the best recruiting tool of the spring and losing the money it would bring in is not smart in my opinion.

Robert Lloyd

It's not a game. This was our tradition. Not a good decision on Rhule's part.
