We played about as "ok" as you can play against the #1 Defense in the entire country & also were still able to rush for over 100 yards. 3 trips to the Redzone & only 3 points hurt us but holding MSU to 14 & playing well enough (offense had some sputters but should've put up 17-21 points) to win...
We've become very balanced on Offense since they tweaked some things & it's nice to see the Defense has maintained playing very well late into the Season. Offense still has some kinks to work out but overall light years ahead of where we were after the Iowa game...
8-2... feels *GREAT*... Top...
I don't know what to think of Penn St... the same team that beat Michigan needed overtime to beat a below average Illinois team. I do however believe we've seen better Defenses & Offenses then PSU has to offer...
Should be a good game... :cool:
The idea of possibly going into the game against...
I just looked at Indiana & they may not be as bad as some think. Sure their Defense is horrible but let's look at their losses.
Missouri... who is a Top 10 team in the Nation...
Michigan & Michigan State are are currently #22 & #21 in the Nation & we all know MSU is possibly a Top 15 team when...
Ok, we're 5-2 & right now we've beaten someone who was pretty much marked as an "L" on a lot of people's predictions.
*EXTREMELY* pleased with the Defense today... Offense sputtered at times but Nelson clearly displayed some leadership today. Granted that NW was without it's top 2 players on...
We will not see a better Run Defense then we've faced already. We did fairly well against a very stingy Michigan Rush D & I can only hope that running the ball effectively against weaker Run D's will open up the Passing Game. Even though I am concerned about Northwestern lighting our Secondary...
Lost 35-13 last year & lost 42-13 this year.
I was really hoping our Vanilla-Style Playcalling was just a Non-Conf issue but its apparent Limegrover is really just not built for the Big Ten.
"Gardner just kind of panics." - Yet we're the only team he's played who couldn't force him into a...
We didn't match up well against Iowa on paper so I don't know why anyone would be surprised we lost. Our Offense has looked unimpressive all season against smaller teams so I really wasn't shocked that we couldn't "bully" a team of equal or bigger size. The Passing Game isn't as bad as I thought...
