As of today - 10-02-2004 we are not in the top 25. Not a big surprise to hordes of N.U. fans out there. ( of which I am One) We had a major coaching change, a major offence change. I do think that Callahan can do it. We might be able edge into the top 25 by the end of the year. but we have to play much better. The boys on the line are doing a great job on defense ( which hasn't changed much). The offensive line however, whole different story. This is new to N.U. , but not to different to what alot of these kids played in high school, and have watched in the NFL for years. My hope is that we get at least a B.C.S. bowl game, but the way it looks now, its pretty bleak.

So all of us, lets get behind our team and will them (Lethal weapon 4 reference) to a BOWL.
