Hard to tell getting blown out yet again. I'll hope to see the improvement against lesser competition that will hopefully result in wins.

Heck, why not 11-1 ??? Eventually Saterfield will be gone and we will start running the ball and we will be a feared team once again.

11-1 is technically the ceiling as they have an outside shot at even Ohio State but I’ll go with 8-4

We got lots of work to do. Special teams, offensive line, no open holes for running backs. Offensive coordinator not seeing the picture. Same old plays, opponents figure us out way to easy

Something has gone wrong with this team since the 2nd half of the Illinois game! 2 weeks to prepare for this game & this is what shows up ? Wow, that spark has disappeared! Matt time to make this team to wake UP!

So I really think it is 8-4. I see us beating Indianna, Wisconsin and UCLA. Losing to Ohio State, USC and IOWA

Liked what I saw.
ReplyDidn't get man handled like last year. S&C is finally paying dividends. We still need to clean up things in the area of penalties and execution.
ReplyTeam looked bigger. Offensive line seems stronger. A few playmakers on both sides. Not real crazy about playing so soft in defensive backfield but guess they did not want to get beat deep. Hopeful!
ReplyEffort - they played hard till the end, which they haven't always done the last two years.
ReplyWe saw for the first time in years our players showing they can play with anybody. We need some running backs, but then we are good to go.
ReplyProgress was there in terms of tackling, O/D line play, good offense decision making, and overall depth. No progress in turnovers and bad penalties and being our own worst enemy.
ReplyI see hope. Let's add consistency to hope and we should turn some heads this year. We need to stop the mental errors (time mgmt, fumbles, penalties). There is no margin of error. Fix these =Progress
ReplyEven the announcers who normally hate us saw progress. Nebraska won the trenches half of the time, offense got north and south quick, linebacker play was solid finally. This team is much improved
ReplyCould have been 38-31. Should have been 45-31. But was 52-17. For every 10 good snaps there's always one drive killer. Glad that the offense went North to south and limited the sideline play. GBR
ReplyIt's all about the big uglies in the trenches, and they have vastly improved.
ReplyProgress is there but quite honestly the celebrating of moral victories against upper echelon teams is getting a bit tired. 52 -17 is 52-17. Its a thrashing.
