BiG jockeys just passed the 3/4-mile pole for the season. … And down the stretch they come.
My paramutual ticket for the BiG COTY 1/2 Mile pole is no longer worth the paper it’s printed on.
With Ferentz’ mount breaking stride, all boxed exacta tickets are now losers.
2. Tucker, MSU — (still) easily the most improved squad to this point, compared to expectations and perceived talent.
— No longer appears to be the little brother this year. Hard for me to believe they can beat both PSU or OSU.
3. Day, tOSU — responded well to Oregon loss with improved QB and defensive play. Looks like (it’s even better than) a more typical tOSU squad now.
— Weathered Nittany Lion challenge, undefeated stretch run may pull off a win at the wire. May need style points vs. Sparty.
5. Fleck, Minnesota, made up ground with a 4 game winning streak, following tOSU out of the gate.
— Running the ball effectively even without Ibrahim.
6. Cryst, Wisconsin, made up ground with a 3 game winning streak. Stopped turning the ball over.
4. Harbaugh, Michigan — run pass balance looks like his ranked Stanford squads — run heavy — can they out execute opposing defenses down the stretch?
— Even with all the passing yards, Go Blue offense didn’t out execute Go Green defense. Needed a TD instead of a FG to keep up with Walker.
— Likely out of the money now.
1. Ferentz, Iowa — lead at the half mile pole.
— Broke stride, and got passed by Cryst and Fleck
— Boilers and Badgers turned this contender into an also ran.
Our fave jockey (CTA) needed to circle the field. May only make it past Shiano.
Who you got?
