How did your football season start if you are a fan of NorthEastern? Well let's just take a snapshot of the first quarter:
- First possession, after getting sacked and making a stupid penalty you have to punt. The opponent returns it to your 33. Four plays later they score.
- Second possession, your QB is intercepted giving the oponant great field position at their own 45.
- Third possession, once again you punt--or at least you try. The punt is blocked. Three more plays and you are scored on again.
Now let's fast forward to the fourth quarter. Your team is finally within field goal range with very little time left on the clock. The field goal unit comes in and you think you just might get some points on the board before the game is over. What happens? The field goal attempt is blocked.
The lesson here? If you are a 1-AA team don't start your season against a top 25 powerhouse--even if they are
rebuilding. It's just not pretty.
