Northwestern ranks 43 out of 104 on defense

Capable of throwing up plenty of offense on inferior teams (Liberty, Colorado, East Carolina, and Auburn) Capable of being unable to close the deal (Auburn). Incapable of summoning consistent offensethe two swift, balanced, and flawless opening drives against Rutgers were offset by the offensive ineptitude of pretty much the rest of the game. Helmed by a 225-pound quarterback who can flatten a 260-pound defensive end with one of the toughest stiff-arms you've ever seen.(Questions: are we going to find out that Jarrett Brown suffered some sort of injury earlier in the game, even before the Rutgers player fell on his hand after his fumble Are we going to find out this was like the Syracuse game last year, when we learned only after the game that Brown couldn't raise his throwing arm above his headOtherwise, how do you explain WVU's total abandonment of the downfield passing game after the first two drives, and the near-abandonment of the passing game altogether You can't say it was the weather; the weather didn't stop Rutgers from completing a bomb for a touchdown. This was truly puzzling.) Capable of having a safety savvy enough to know his spot in a passing zone defense, jump the route, intercept a pass, and return it for a touchdown. The home of one of the elite running backs in the game, who is forced to run behind an inexperienced line that can get him 220 yards against an inferior opponent (Colorado), but only 65 against an evenly matched foe (Rutgers). Going to a solid B-level bowl game, the Gator, where, unfortunately, it will be only a supporting player in a game that will be dominated by the Bobby Bowden narrative. Thankfully, the Seminoles are an inferior team (see above), so West Virginiaas it did against UConnshould be able to overcome emotion and the rooting interest of much of college football to win the game and gain a 10-win season And then it would be a 10-3 team And that's about right..

Less than 2 of baseball players who have ever played the game have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. When we think of the Hall of Famers, we think of the greats such as The Babe, Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Nolan Ryan and many other giants of the game. This series isn’t about them. This Series is about the legends that sit in their shadows. Mickey Cochrane was a very successful catcher for the Philadelphia Athletics from 1925 to 1933 and the Detroit Tigers from 1934 until 1937. He was sometimes known as "Black Mike" due to his many mood swings and temper. His short career can be described as consistent. His .320 batting average and .419 OBP are still the best among catchers all time; he walked almost 4 times as much as he struck out. His slugging percentage of .478 is an AL record for catchers. He didn’t always hit the ball out of the park, he only had 119 career homeruns but he did find ways to get into scoring position with 333 career doubles. His playing career ended when he was only 34. After his playing career, Mickey Cochrane managed the Tigers for 4 seasons. He had a .582 winning percentage as manager of the Tigers. Cochrane accomplished a lot in a short career. He was a 2 time MVP and All Star, played on 7 pennant winners and has 3 rings. His short and successful career earned him another honor not mentioned in any statistic; Elvin Mantle admired him so much that he named his son, Mickey after his favorite catcher. He later served in the Navy in World War II even with the head injury. Cochrane was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1947. He died in 1952 from cancer due to being a heavy smoker. .
