That was a helluva game. It would still have been a helluva game if it had ended differently. I can see why you would be pissed at that. I'm sure you were opening up the victory champaign (not literally, what were you, 12?) when Plummer scored that last touchdown.

And if I have you confused with some younger DU'er, I'm not trying to be a smartass. I just seem to remember reading that you're still rather young.

Now, as for Northern Illinois' lack of a running game, they ran right down Maryland's throat on the final scoring drive in regulation. And they had a back with 90 yards. That's not a lack of a running game. Washington averaged 74 or something like that as a team last year. That won't cut it tomorrow night. If they can't do better than that, they are toast. And they may very well be able to run the ball this year. It's a different year, after all. But if they can't run, they can't win against OSU.
