Terrible day for Wisconsin QBs. Mertz was just awful and after their defense keeping it competitive for most of the game got destroyed in the end. Coan on the other side of the ball was okay but got sacked 5 times until he was hurt, which is exactly when Pine (the 3rd stringer) came in and made the team look much better. One would think we'd get a better picture of whether Chryst made the right decision between them, but looks like it didn't matter much.
Usually I root for Wisconsin to have a strong opponent in the B1G title game. Iowa has that role now and it seems Wisconsin will not reclaim it.
Minnesota losing lost to BG at home in the 4th.
I guess they aren't the juggernaut some suggested opening night.
Ah yes, that thing anybody definitely said.
Minnesota beat Colorado 30-0. Texas A&M beat Colorado 10-7. And since football always makes sense and is easy to predict, clearly BG would beat A&M by multiple TDs.
(Speaking of A&M, Arkansas could very well leapfrog them into the playoff discussion with the way things are going right now.)
I hope it's Cincy. Hate Brian Kelly
Don't really have feelings about Kelly, but definitely would prefer to see a G5 team make it. And bonus points for being an Ohio school, despite how that could bite OSU in the ass down the road.
My money is sadly on ND, but at least they have one of two opportunities left to biff it (UNC, maybe Stanford).
