Our offense was white-hot for most of the season. Our defense seemed solid. But our special teams were lacking significantly. Here are our national rankings (per Football Outsiders' rating system ) over the last four years:
2016-19th (4th in the Big Ten)
2017-14th (3rd in the Big Ten)
2018-10th (1st in the Big Ten)
2019-101st (only Big Ten team worse than us was Nebraska)
So, my question- what the heck happened?
That is a massive drop from otherwise high rankings the previous three years. In particular, going from 1st in the conference (last season) to 13th in the conference (this season) seems to call for some kind of explanation.
