We better significantly up our NIL and Campbell better get recruiting in gear or this will stay ugly for us. Maybe not this ugly but probably middle of the pack B10 type team ugly.

I get the anger right now but I have no idea what people wanted considering when he was hired
We'll have tons of money this offseason to spend
I’m not coming from a position of anger. I get why we’re seeing this shitshow this year. I’m saying this offseason. I’m hoping Campbell puts a priority on bringing in talent. Good guys that try hard but can’t catch a Northwestern running back won’t cut it. He needs to be buying recruits that can make an immediate impact and portal guys that can do the same.

I am reallly sorry that the one team that the entire country hates because you shelter child rapers is now the laughingstock of the Big Ten.
You even got that wrong. Ohio elected their coach that shielded a rapist to congress. How about Michigan State? Ever hear of Larry Nassar?

It’s so weird that 15 years later, you’re still trying to smear the entire university for the actions of one person. This is F-tier trolling, buddy. Is there anything you’re actually good at?

Criticize Rocco all you want. He’s the least of our problems. Can’t run, can’t block, bad defense.
He plays the most important position and has done so more than any other person currently in CFB. Does his performance look like that?

It hurts that Lynn is the freaking d coordinator responsible for the worst effort I have ever seen in my life. Should have loaded the box
He may have been a bad hire. Not ready to conclude that yet but off to a horrible start. Plus we apparently have no talent, athleticism or physicality on defense. But besides that we are fine.

Welp. A bunch of us did say there was a distinct possibility we’d get blown out this week. At least there weren’t a ton of people stupidly insisting, “No way, man! You’re just a doomer! A hater! We’re gonna bounce back this and run the table!”

This might be the worst team in the history of this program. Last week, I thought this was shaping to be a 5-7 season, but those that were saying 3-9 are looking like they might be right.

White Out is going to be 50% full. USC 58, PSU 10.

415 rushing yards allowed
508 total yards
#5 & # 6 combined for 350 yards on 35 carries. 10 yards a carry over 35 rushes!!
Rushed for 48 yards on 22 carries. 2.2 yards per carry.

Offensive and defensive lines are horrible
I've lost track of how many years in a row this is where "the offensive line should be the strength of the team"

Again, someone with a strong football mind, please explain to me why the starting quarterback cannot be taken out of a game for poor play. It is the only position that has no accountability in game.

Becht has never had a reputation of having a strong arm.

That didn't change tonite.

Just ugly all the way around.

Who had 0-2 in the B10 and looking like a complete dumpster fire in the process on their bingo card? I didn't. I feel like a total fool for thinking this team could win 9 or possibly 10 games. More like lose 9 games.

Can’t wait to hear “We couldn’t find our rhythm” 50 times when asked why we suck so badly.

Very ugly start to the Campbell era. Again, not all his fault…he was done no favors by his AD. Tough decisions ahead for the new staff, especially concerning the QB. Not sure any of it is going to matter considering he just doesn’t have the talent to compete.

This is very spot on.
