And IIRC that game didn't even break open until very late. Always a brutal game for us - that's why the big comeback win last year was such a great sign.
Nothing to panic about at this point, that's a really tough game to start the season with. NU's freshmen look really good already, especially Roy. He's filthy. It's almost unfathomable that he was previously committed to Brown, and that none of the big powers got in on him.
BTW, I can't wait until the next round of ding-a-lings come into the 2013 BC offseason thread next summer complaining about BC's "inflated attendance numbers," since NU folk are usually among them. The lower bowl was about 50-60% full for their "sell out" on Saturday.
