Fun to see Fleck’s culture and good QB play steal a couple of games this year. Two double-digit comebacks in Big Ten play is almost unfathomable.
Hard not to think about the future. We are clearly nothing special this year, but we can build around Lindsey. It feels like something needs to...

The regression of the run game these past two years is so disappointing and inexcusable. Somebody’s head needs to role if we continue to average under 3 YPC.
