I confess that I will always believe in my boys, even when the evidence indicates the contrary, but ...
Northwestern at home
Minny on the road
Hoosiers at home and
Purdue on the road
Despite our performances to date, we still have a legitimate shot at winning those 4 games and will be favored in at least 3 of the 4.
Northwestern will bring a salty defense to Lincoln this next weekend, but also brings a broken running game and an inept Hunter Johnson.
Minny has played a ton of close games but has found a way to win. Their strong run game, improved passing game and solid defense will be a true test. We will need Adrian returning to his potential form to win in Minneapolis.
IU will have a strong offense to put up points against us, but I like our chances in the running game that week.
Purdue was a lot more daunting at the beginning of the season, but their defense has not been good and their offense has really taken a step back without Blough. Yet, this will still be a tough game when facing a division for and a desperate team.
If we head into the Wiscy week 7-2 with home games against Wiscy and Iowa, we will control our own destiny in the BIG. Would any of us be disappointed being 7-2 at that point with a chance to win the West?
This season is not lost just because we were outclassed and outplayed against a vastly superior team last night. Have faith my friends and cheer for our boys to get this season straightened out.
