They were expected to maybe Challenge for the B10 Title, seemed to have a favorable schedule getting Ohio State early in the season at home at night, etc. Yet they are just not a good football team, they haven't been a good team from day 1 when they had to struggle against a bad Syracuse team. Ferentz has recruited very well and Drew Tate is a Sr, I expected more. Losing to Northwestern was a shocker to me, and while I didn't watch the game it seems like it was a solid Northwestern win not a fluke. What happened to Iowa? Injuries, loss of key staff member in the offseason?
Terry, Good Question! I think both Iowa and Georgia may have been over rated for this season in the pre season polls? Don
Unfortunately, Purdue is pretty easy to estimate this year. I think we have won zero games against teams with winning records. So far (could change this week) we are undefeated against teams with losing records.
