But that list is pretty close to an upside down ranking of the B1G. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm sad we lost out on VV especially if firing our DL coach earlier would've kept him, but so it goes. I do like our up and coming line talent on both ends of the ball though. Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Losing Cross and Jano will hurt. It would have hart more if they weren't under utilized last year. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 In Purdue's case, 16 people returning is probably not a good thing. Quote Link to comment

Spooky Tooth Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Cross and Jano were given huge roles last year particularly compared to how the prior staff used them.......was that just a shot at the current staff? Otherwise it makes no sense, Losing Cross and Jano will hurt. It would have hart more if they weren't under utilized last year. Quote Link to comment

They were under utilized last year, but I agree that Jano was even more under utilized under Bo. It is tough to say Cross was under utilized under Bo because of AA. Quote Link to comment
Lil' Red Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Losing Cross and Jano will hurt. It would have hart more if they weren't under utilized last year. Losing Jano will definitely hurt but I don't think losing Cross will be a big deal if Ozigbo and Newby stay healthy. Quote Link to comment

Losing Jano will definitely hurt but I don't think losing Cross will be a big deal if Ozigbo and Newby stay healthy. I am excited by the potential of Ozigbo. I am not that impressed with Newby. I hope the OL is improved, and I wonder how much the backs will be hurt by not having Jano to plow the road. Quote Link to comment

That doesnt make them good... We werent good either. Beating Nebraska last year wasnt a quality win. Yes it was. Thanks to the residual effect of usually being decent. Now if we have 1 or 2 more seasons like that, then it wears off and we're just another win. I guarantee Iowa was happy to beat us, and so was every other team that beat us. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 For Purdue, we could have only had 2-3 wins and beating us would be a quality win. OSU??? No. Purdue??? yes. Quote Link to comment

Quality win doesnt change based on the team. Just cause a 2 win team beats a 3 win team doesnt make that a quality win. I dont think anyone should have considered beating Nebraska a quality win.
