When a guy comes in first year with a thrown together transfer roster and is the clear cut 4th best team, well that’s means everyone basically stinks. The entire mid-tier needs to step it up and Michigan and USC need not suck.
IU isn’t making the playoffs. Top 5 teams in big 10 outside of IU are Oregon, Penn St, Ohio St, Iowa, and Illinois. IU played one —only one—of them this year and got dominated.
I’m mentally wrestling with how to process this game. Defense was good. Running game was good. Pass protection was bad. Special teams was awful. All of this on the road against the best team in the country. DOES this keep us out?
