We should be #1 in total yards per game if we could have one of those personal fouls or any of those third down penalties taken away. Those 14 penalties kept drives alive for chUMp. This Saturday could be our last major hurdle to Indy. It's real easy. If we don't win we don't go.
ReplyDeleteNot true c-mann,
ReplyDeleteWisky is in the other division. All the teams in our division have one or more losses. If we lose to Wisky we will be among the 1 loss crowd. We are already ahead of chUMps is a tie-breaker. We would play Nebraska the following week (away). A win there puts us in the drivers seat with Iowa still to come. Iowa and Nebraska play each other in the final week. We will likely end with two Big 10 losses. But, looking at Iowa and Nebraska's schedules - they too are likely to lose a second time. A Spartan vs. Wisky helps us a lot, but is not essential. A loss to Nebraska is a killer only if we lose to Wisky too.
