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.

At least that team had one of the best defenses in the country.
