Well, what I am about to say will be attacked as me being a horrible fan, but the truth hurts.
(1) We are NOT a good team. We tend to make any opponent look like a world beater. We play down to the competition all the time and that is definitely coaching. Northwestern is well coached but on paper, we have much more talent yet we still made it a game at home with northwestern having a chance to tie at the end.
(2) DR is overrated. I honestly did not see how he was much better than Stone today or any other QB we played in BIG.
(3) while I do not argue that the refs suck, one can argue that they missed a 200% holding call that won us the game. They did give northwestern a call earlier. So, for those who say the refs hate us, I would argue that refs suck period. They miss calls both ways and we cannot depend on calls to beat or dominate a team. The refs do however favor Ohio state and Michigan. That is a fact.
(4) Lindenmeyer in my opinion is one of our most potent weapons yet for some reason we fail to use him consistently. That is on the coaches. Lindenmeyer has NFL talent and we use him once or twice in a close game.
(5) our special teams are the difference between us being 6-2 and 2-6. In my opinion, coach Ekeler is a winner and his guys reflect that attitude. He has completely changed our special teams from mediocre to respectable. He is a much better coach than Rhule who is a convincing car salesman.
Before the attacks start. I am extremely thrilled that we won and are bowl eligible. Definitely progress. However, our defense and offense are OK at best. Other than EJ who is the BEST PLAYER on this team, the rest does not inspire confidence. And before you start the attacks, think, how many of you can, with a 100% confidence, say that we can beat PSU, Iowa, and USC? We are simply a middle of the pack team. If you don’t believe me, look at what Iowa is doing to PJ Fleck row the boat douch team that dominated us last week. So, is Iowa a rival? No, we actually have to beat them twice in a row to earn the right to call them a rival. Let the hate begin….
