We’re cooked. With our D injuries and poor tackling we’d have to score a TD on all our remaining possessions to win.

I usually hate when my team runs a fade because it's tough to execute. But if it's timed right, it's also not so easy to defend.

Assume we can't win this game then we have Iowa who looks fantastic and then Minnesota who's actually beating Indiana and of course Ohio state. Really need to win this one to keep things rolling.
