@krc1995 I am talking about season as a whole, sure there have been glimpses and flashes of excitment, but that 7-0 start in 2016 ended with some of the worst games I have ever witnessed. 62-3 nuff said.

@krc1995 totally wrong.  I've said many times, that 7-0 record was a total farce.  Those 7 games were painful to watch, we could have just as easily lost most of them.  All that stretch did was give the uber Riley fans ammo to put him on a pedestal even though the team was dangling by a thread.  The only time I thought maybe we turned a corner was hanging with Wisconsin, then we found a way to s#!t the bed in that game too and all fell into place and the team tanked immediately after that as expected.

I felt better about our team during the end of his first year than I did during his second year while they were undefeated.  You could see it on the field they were getting softer.  This isn't revisionist history, this is a point I've made MANY times.  As mentioned above, the mask came off and the Ohio State debacle and Iowa game revealed what the team was made of.  The veil was thin and the tough teams punched a hole through us.  Many people saw it coming.

I'm actually a little disgusted I have to defend this.  I'll be honest, I tried longer than most to support that worthless excuse of a coach and staff.  I did my best to try and get excited about what they were doing.  But watching them play was emotionally draining, you could tell they had no drive, no desire, no direction and no clue where they needed to be most plays.  The o ly difference between 2016 and 2017 was the games that barely swung in our favor, the lucky breaks we got, swung and broke the other way.
