#6 Indy game was an embarrassment, totally dominated;
#15/16 USC was an even game, one we could even have won;
Both at home.

#24 NW on road?

Do we compete?

Not sure home vs road has been much of a factor for us. The issue is lack of talent. Maryland stinks. We haven’t been able to stop anyone halfway decent from scoring on us pretty much at will.

And yet, Maryland was literally inches away from tying the game with 16 seconds remaining after leading by 14 with 4:00 remaining. I would make the point that Maryland lost the game as opposed to Rutgers winning it.

This defense is not holding any B1G team under 30 points, unless by some strange occurrence they take the ball away 3 or 4 times (which they don’t do). Hard to believe they will stay within 2 TDs of NW.

Whatever. I’m over this season and expecting nothing. Ready for basketball. My only point was that any positive we showed on defense was a product of Maryland being terrible versus our defensive making major strides. Anyone halfway decent at offense is going to score at will on our defense. The D stinks.

Rutgers scored 37 points so we still won it. QB threw for almost 300 yards. Starting running back hobbled so backup RB puts the team on his back. Converted over 50% 3rd down.

The 97 Yard pick 6 by USC was the difference. We were about to score . 7 point loss.

Yeah - happy for our players but Maryland still sucks relative to every other team we’ll play. I’m usually optimistic but nothing I saw leads me to believe we’ve turned some kind of corner. Would love to be wrong.
