I would add that after upgrading the QB position significantly, the bolded is inexplicable.Last year, I felt the offense had overachieved whenever it scored. This year, I feel like we are underachieving offensively.
Results are the same, only the expectations have changed.
Because we weren’t going undefeated? Nobody ever thought we were going undefeated - neither the fans, players or coaches.Re-read what you wrote.. see all the hype and pressure is coming from the fans and media too. We are our own worst enemy it seems.
I think a lot of the vibe left after the Illinois loss..
It's still a possibility but this Saturday is definitely a must win because you can't reach 9 without getting to 6.bowl game? what happen to 9 wins?
And …YES!!! Totally!
DON'T DRINK FROM A WATER FOUNTAIN!!!
YES!!! Totally!Let’s not forget AIDS
Let’s not forget AIDSThey are never "getting rid of it" but it makes for great theater and it freaks out a lot of would-be normal people.
Just like in the 80's when they had a bunch of WWIII made for TV movies, "nukes" were going to kill us all.
Really ? So if you were a player what would you be GAF about ? Do you really think these players DGAF about being bowl eligible ? I believe you're wrong on that.i don't think it's a huge weight on anyone except the head coach, and maybe some fans..
if I'm a player, I dgaf about any bowl game. $.02
They are never "getting rid of it" but it makes for great theater and it freaks out a lot of would-be normal people.I'm not factoring it in at current payment rates but I think it's demise is greatly exaggerated. Political suicide to get rid of it and we would probably pay a lot of it out in other forms of assistance anyway.
I don’t even know why we would bring in these big guns… they are gonna opt out of postseason play anyway, so what’s the point? No one likes bowl games these days!
I bet that, should they beat UCLA this weekend, the locker room will probably feel like a morgue, wouldn’t you agree? These guys don’t care about bowl games.Re-read what you wrote.. see all the hype and pressure is coming from the fans and media too. We are our own worst enemy it seems.

Their first play went for,I believe,38 yards.I don't know if it was a blown coverage but that one really hurt.OSU did NOTHING in the second half...except for that 1 drive, right after NU took the lead.
Then all of a sudden they could easily put together an 80 yard drive with ease.
