Good eye. That kid’s been really good.

Undersized and threw a bunch of INTs last year; having a great game tonight.

Not used to the warm weather?  lol

And Rutger defense sucks...

Parker Navarro rocks. Ran for over 1k last year which is especially impressive in college where sack yards = negative rushing yards.

I think JMU is going to be the P5 participant this year. Imagine them coming to Bloomington in a 10/7 game…

Gutsy 4th down call by Schiano instead of the FG.  Me thinks he didn't want to give Parker the ball back.

Billy Edwards appeared to* blow a knee or achilles on a hand off. Cathedral grad Danny O’Neil takes over. Got a feeling Wisconsin is gonna come to town in November in really bad shape. And I’m not terribly certain that Fickel will be with them.

End of third quarter of the NB-Cincy game. I realize it’s only game 1 but could someone please explain to me why pundits salivate over Nebraska’s QB?

Nebraska should thank me.Once I posted the above he promptly completed approximately 6 passes in a row on a successful TD drive …LOL

None of the B1G teams looked great....or even good, last night against the MAC. Wisconsin was up 3-0 on Miami late in the 3rd quarter. Tacked on a couple TD's, but can't pretend that isn't alarming. Minnesota wasn't much better against Buffalo, from what I saw. Very lack-luster offense. I didn't watch Rutger, but winning a shoot-out with Ohio isn't encouraging. 

Nebraska at least played a big boy team, but was very average on offense and bad on defense against a one-dimensional Cincy offense. Sorsby can't throw.

IU only gets to play one of them (thanks super conference idiocy!) but if opening night is any indication, the Big Ten looks mediocre, at best.  No one picked any of these teams to be elite, but Neb & Minn were supposed to be upper half. If that happens, the lower half is sure gonna suck.
