We have to be the only Big Ten team whose opponents go for it on 4th down on their own side of the field.

Because they convert 90% of the time...

I'm trying to decide which is worse, our defense or special teams. Both were supposed to be Allen's strength, and somehow we've gotten a lot worse in both areas since he took over.

That's definitely not true. We finished the season ranked 26th in defense and we led the nation in getting teams off the field on third down iirc. We're really young this year, with 55 freshmen on the roster, but should look better on that side of the ball next year. The only really awful part of our defense this year is the pass rush but that has impacted a lot of other areas

And they convert.

[cthomas 5,917]

We are making their QB look like all league.

[TheWatShot 13,335]

Our pass rush is pathetic.

[Aeggie 206]

Our pass rush is non existent

I'm thinking maybe Minnesota should have been starting this kid all year. Just shredding us.

Not really; we just stink.

[Aeggie 206]

We've got to figure something out defensively, outside of the one stop we have barely slowed them down without some help from them

[LIHoosier 24,997]

At least that kickoff went through the endzone...

[cthomas 5,917]

I appreciate that Ramsey is a tough kid and his teammates like him, but to me he is not a power quality five conference QB.

Is Minnesotas quarterback balding?

After reading the first few pages, I remembered why I don't visit these game threads as often anymore.

It's sad to see opponents that know they'll get the first on 4th and short.

This is two straight weeks we've gotten a takeaway in the opponents territory and then just went for deep passes three straight downs.

Good punt.  Now our "defense" will proceed to allow a 99 yard drive.

[LIHoosier 24,997]

Hey, a solid corner punt.

[LIHoosier 24,997]

3rd verse same as the 1st.

Meet the new boss...same as the old boss.

Etc..etc..

[JSHoosier 19,568]

2 plays and they've gained most of the 99 yards they needed.

[Aeggie 206]

Awful why are we blitzing there?
