The offense is averaging 37 points per game, but they need to be able to blow out opponents that are inferior to them.

We have too much offensive talent to have struggled moving the ball against some of the defences we have faced.

The defense is allowing 17.6 points per game. They have it locked in right now, but they can't slip up. Photo credit: Campus Insiders

a statistical duh

We need to stop the run better without giving up pass protection. In short our front 4 need to be more disruptive.

Jim Stiver

The front four D line gets carved up on the run. Don't know what is going on besides they are young. I am not buying that they just need to get a little more aggressive. Now the secondary seems to me they play too far off their receivers making it easy for a 10 to 15 yd. pass completion.

Michael Morkert

The defense still gives up too many big plays...a bend but not break defense will not fare well against Ohio State or Wisconsin.

Robert Naffziger

Need a netter pass rush and tackling.

Dan Campbell

We aren't allowing the gig plays but are still allowing the chunk plays. Need to get our run defense to where they allow 100 yds or less.

Valerie Gilmore

i'd b a little more comfortable w a better run defense, i know i know were young, not any more, they are going into game 6, got'a stop the run better imo

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.
