When I asked head coach Pat Fitzgerald about the team’s inability to cover T.J. Rahming last year, he was perturbed.
“Yeah, he’s a hell of a football player. We played like garbage and they played great. And we lost the game. Any questions about this year’s football team, I would love to answer.”
As an NU fan, it was probably what you would want to hear. Fitz is focused on the game ahead and going 1-0 this week, as he always is. But sometimes, in order to look forward, it makes sense to look back.
