Other Week 2 Games

Illinois defense looks like it's taken a big step back this year. Lost their DC and some talent. Really struggled vs Toledo last week.
There’s a reason why BiG TeN WeSt defenses are usually among the nations leaders.
And it’s not because the defenses are really that great.

They weren't getting lit up by Toledo type teams last year
The Big Ten West is a joke. If we had a decent QB, we would have been able to win the division.
The ONLY reason they were even over 500 last year is because they had 32 takeaways, which is insane.
Which means they got a lot of bounces....this game a KU dude fumbled but another KU guy fell on it. Last year, some Illini guy would have fell on it.
Last year, for the most part, was smoke and mirrors.
Join the party!
Me and @king_kong_ have been saying this for a long ass time. Only old school Big Ten lover boys this this conference is good.
The scary part, SOOOO many Husker fans, even ones that post here, were IN LOVE with Illinois FB last year and Bert Billema.
They should have lost to Toledo, they will lose to KU and lose next week vs PSU.

An OC proves his worth when the team sucks ass.
It is easy to be an OC when you have a stacked team.
Advanced stats say otherwise. A game between Kansas and a revamped Illinois defense isn't really telling. Every team in that division apart from Nebraska and Purdue have had really good defenses in the last decade.
Because they play each other!
Iowa supposedly had this amazing defense last year and NU could have picked the final score against them.
Big Ten Fan Bois don't understand the difference between good defense as opposed to two bad offenses.
They needed to complete a 4th and 1 (35 yard completion) to beat Toledo by 2, at home.
You can't cherry pick a game like that, you have to look at the entire season. And come on, Nebraska scored 24 points in that game. Iowa had a great defense and a horrible offense
Nebraska could have scored on every play just by passing. That game was over after the first 15 minutes.
And I am not cheery picking, I told you that ALL the conference games are what make it look like those teams have good defenses...because they play crap offenses with crap QBs.
I guess VirginHawk doesn't agree.
But the Iowa coach had to have the starting QB fake an injury so that he had an excuse to put in the backup, who also sucked...all so his son would not get asked tough questions.
And the vaunted Iowa DB's could not sniff covering the husker WR's

Iowas defense is pedestrian, they just play in the least offensive conference in the history of football
Zero speed, zero QB play outside of your team
Then mix in 3 HORRIBLE non-conference games vs teams with horrible offenses and they end up playing what, 6 teams with offenses ranked in the bottom half???
So i know this did not happen BUT it is almost like there is this "gentlemen's" agreement to keep things slow and always punt on 4th down even when they are inside the 50.
Is your Mom fat? if so prepare yourself for 10-15 extra pages of side splitting "content" ITT.
Lovie had some good defensive players that he left. Those guys have to be about gone. Bert isn’t all that some have made him out to be. Very average coach at best
Why don't you ever mention the fact that Georgia only plays 1 decent team all year.
Who cares, they win titles.
Your Iowa team plays no one all year and is lucky to win 7 games.
Big Ten Fan Boi at it again!
Next will be "if the conference is so bad, why do they have such a big media deal?"
It's too bad that rational college football discussion is drowned-out on here by mudslinging. And deflection...like no rational thought is allowed...the Big Ten must be bashed and the SEC must be praised.
SuperBigFan and kong, now that's a pair to draw to.

Illinois had some DB's that could really come up and crack you.
They lost three DBs that went in the first 3 rounds including a top 5 pick. That covered up their backend, I don't know if they were all Lovie guys but he didn't replace that kind of talent with the portal. Also lost that really good RB.
