I’m honestly not disappointed. Like definitely room for improvement but I think we will look back at this game differently. NW is a real squad and could easily get one of the other B10 dogs if they don’t prepare

I’m also glad that we are getting tested and playing in close games. I think the teams that do good in the CFP have had that close games experience.

When you’re the top dog, everyone is gunning for you and will give you their very best game. That’s the curse of being a national title holder. It’s going to be much harder this year for y’all, because last year some teams were sleeping on you, especially early on, but it’s gotta feel good to be feared!
