we go from we are awful to we can win the BE to we suck in the course of a few weeks. really we lost to a team that we should have and beat a team we should have.. the other two games were more on our mistakes than anything the other teams did to us.
we gifted NW two td's. do people think we should be beating teams by 20+ points on a regular basis now? that game was all on is.. if we were 2-2 this board would not be in full melt down. they would all be disappointed about losing to an AVG minn team..
so we lost a game we gifted two TD's and lost another we committed 4 TO's against that really three were gifts as well. Minn had 350 yds, a handful of big pass plays, missed two FGs but one never happens without the gift TO and the TD called back that probably never gets thrown with the Holding penalty so in reality they probably score 20.. does anything have a problem holding them to 350 yds and 20 points? thats about what NW did and they scored 42.
the offense turned it over 4 times which is probably 3 times too many. the play calling is trying to still hide our big weakness in pass protection and power running. its not like we struggled to move the ball but once we get inside the 30 teams dont have to protect the field and that makes our weaknesses a bigger deal.. I didn't realize that most teams turn around the issues we had last year in a few games.
1-3 instead of 3-1 and threw away two games. if we get to 5-7 with three BCS road game losses or 4 BCS losses thats not really showing we haven't improved. our RB avg 5 yds a carry Minn avg under 3.the qb's played equal but ours had the two INT. flip that stat and we win, flip a ricochet INT in both games and we are probably 3-1. we are that close .
we are what we are.. we have shown that we can be way behind in the mistakes and still have a shot at winning the games. we have made huge strides, but it sucks to have lost games to pitt/uconn/minn/NW/rutgers that were there for the winning . time will tell if its still sucks 8 games from now..
