After an 11-play opening drive with runs of 3, 11, 5, 8, then back-to-back runs of 1 and the 2-yard TD run. We were averaging 5 yards a pop and had set the tone with the OL at the LOS. Then we wasted our 2nd, 3rd and 4th drives with going pass heavy and getting behind the chains. We wasted our 5th drive by poor play calls as well. We were 2nd and 2 right at deep FG range, run the ball and get the first down, don't take the deep shot. Then we go big and congest the defense and miss an assignment, then miss a 52-yard FG. We got to be smarter and play for that first down on 2nd and 2 and work into closer FG on the next set of downs. We aren't a scoring juggernaut - play for points. We don't Pass Pro well, run the ball and keep out of third and long.

Not the play calling considering our talent on teh field perhaps. Mistakes by the OL and just getting beat at tackle. Dylan not have a special day so far. It is just brutal to watch. I'd take a one-point win in a heart beat..

Williams and Woodyard way over pursued on that one leaving the cutback wide open.

Would you take the twenty plus year build up before you get your title, or twenty years of misery with a quick two year turn around like Indiana got?

Weren't we just saying the defense was playing well? Ughhh....

I was surprised to see the field goal, but the way things were going, being up 10-0 is important.

Taking the field goal, I like it!

There an interesting arc when it comes to a sports narrative. If the spunky underdog starts winning over a period of seasons, they become the villain. The Patriots first Super Bowl was an underdog story. By the end of their run, they were an Evil Empire. Same with the Chiefs and Mahomes. We’ve been doing well for a long time now. We’re no longer the lovable underdog; we’re now the perennial underachievers. That seems to be the narrative anyway. The only way to deal with that is to block out the noise and just win, baby.

Kick field goal now. take 10 point lead. bring in Akili. This is insanity

Tough sledding when your punter is player of the week.

Weak schedule. We probably make a bowl and get practice for next yr,,,,,

We may have the best Defense and worst Offense in the B1G right now. It is what it is, and 7 points may be enough for us to win here

What's on the board just might be the final score. At this point I'll take it.

The D came to play.

Maybe maybe Barry Lenny wants a new job.

The O is almost as fun as watching paint dry.

Maybe defense will score... I just can not relate to this play calling.

Well we blow a gift with poor blocking and poor play calling...... This is just not good!

Terrible missed block by Fox Crader.

Never mind, I was hoping they'd figure out how to to run the ball against this defense but apparently not.

It's rough isn't it? Some of these plays should never be run outside peewee football. Why is it so hard to get Jamari one on one with a LB? Why do we have an empty backfield and 4 WRs next to the sideline? If you want to run a wildcat replace the QB with a blocker. I'm seeing the want to option out of it based on the look, but even that is stupid. It's really rough to watch.

That a good shot on 2nd and short

We can't get into any kind of offensive rhythm because the play calling is actively working against it!
