1) We played a team with legit national title aspirations even up for 52+ minutes, showing some grit after the early train wreck and being down 14-0.
2) Our defense held one of the nations better offenses scoreless for 23 minutes in the second half (without a vital starting CB).
3) Decker is a superstar.
4) I think at DT and linebacker, we are as good as anyone in the Big Ten.
I'm not a huge moral victory guy, but come on! They were hands down a far better team than us and we made it really uncomfortable for them. Credit to them for making that 3rd and 15 play, as well as the deep corner route, and the TE down the seam. If we get that damn stop, we get the ball back at our own 30ish with about 9 to go. That would have been fun.
