WSJ's Tom Oates column on the Big Ten...

not sure i agree with the statement minnesota was wildly inconsistent. i thought their season was pretty similar to the huskers---ended 2nd half pretty strong.

His column has a lot of bad info - and theres no way we have the easiest schedule...

But, Minnesota was very inconsistant last year.

Between Maryland and their bowl game they in order:

Got blown out by Iowa

Played OSU tough (6 pt game going into the 4th quarter.)

Got blown out by Nebraska

Beat Indiana

Got blown out by Illinois

Blew out Purdue while scoring 21 points the 3rd quarter.

Lost to Northwestern at home only scoring 14 points all game.

Beat Wisconsin.
