With all due respect to Northwestern -- I think they are a very legit team that will finish ranked or at least be a fringe ranked team this year -- we COMPLETELY suck.

I was hesitant about some of the off season film I watched particularly on the defenders we recruited this year, but I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt to our new staff. This is inexcusable. If NW is rushing for 400+ on us just imagine what Indiana/Michigan/USC/Oregon/OSU would (or will) do to this squad. This is not a team that is equipped to play B10 ball in the trenches on either side of the ball, regardless of what you think about Becht this game was always lost based on that alone.

I figured there would be growing pains and was hoping for an 8-4 season this year with the soft ass schedule. I am not sure if we can beat any B10 teams outside of Maryland and Rutgers at this point.

Campbell shouldn’t even finish the season if y’all lose to Purdue later this month.

It’s his first season, he needs time to properly recruit

Like for us, mario’s record sucked his first year. Imagine we fired him halfway through

2022: 5–7
2023: 7–6
2024: 10–3
2025: 13–3 went to natty

Yup this game tn sucked ass, but this roster stinks and he needs time to bring his dudes in. Total overreaction to tear it all down midway through year 1

He did bring his dudes in lol.
