Can we come out and drill someone please?

[Red_Symptoms]

For once under the HCMR era, I'd like to see us come out and just drill a team. Find some weakness/advantageous match-ups in film and then go out and execute. Jump out to a 14-0 lead and put some pressure on the other team. Finish strong and win by 20+ points.

I'm not talking about like last year against Maryland. I'd like to see it against a quality opponent, and I don't think asking for it against a 5-3 Northwestern team is too much to ask. I'm very frustrated that the program has sunk to the point where it's a struggle to beat programs like Purdue or Rutgers.

We used to pride ourselves under our strength and conditioning. Now, not only can teams like Wisconsin line up and run without bothering to pass, but programs the caliber of Purdue or NIU dominate our lines. I know our recruiting hasn't been ideal, but are those programs classes ranked higher than ours? This has to be about preparation, both physically and mentally!!!

Lets go out and whip Northwestern!!!

Would be nice. The week to do that was last week against a bad Purdue team.

You mean like SF UCF teams do.

Pfft, they couldn't even cover their spread last week.

We drilled Illinois(by todays standards), that's about the best you're going to get..

I don't think this can happen because the defense sucks. Even if we score first the defense never responds with a three and out. Didn't watch the OSU game until last night. Our d ends and linebackers are really poor , essentially make no big plays. The outside backers in particular are very weak. The defense looked like a old division IAA team against the Buckeyes.

I don't think Riley is the answer but the physical talent on this team is shockingly low. I think Bo screwed us but Riley is just too old at this point to see us through this transition. If frost is available we almost have nothing to lose in making the switch.

Even though we had to come from behind and had lots of guys injured, our D manhandled Purdue in those last couple of series. I want to see that. I want to see our defense be nasty this weekend. It won't be easy. Northwestern has a big physical QB and running game.

We just need to maintain an urgent approach in these games it seems. Obviously that wont always work for us but we do seem to do better when we have no choice but to play aggressive.
