per Marcus:

But the Big Ten's nonconference play suggests there is actually room for improvement. Although conference teams went 12-1 in the final tuneup for league play, they were 5-11 overall against teams from the other Power Five conferences -- the ACC, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC.

"I don't think anybody is dominating the Big Ten right now," Kill said.

Front and center are the traditionally stacked Wolverines, 2-2 after a humbling, 26-10 loss to Utah at home last week and a shutout loss at Notre Dame. The Gophers' lone loss was humbling, as well, a 30-7 shellacking at Texas Christian in Week 3.

In a year like this one, it could be a formula for another solid season. It starts Saturday against the Wolverines.

"We have the athletes to match their athletes," Cobb said. "We're physical and can run just like them. So, I definitely think it will be much closer than people think. We have a great opportunity to go down there and win, surprise a lot of people."
