Very proud of the effort. I thought we had a great chance to win that game and didn't make plays on offense and had our worst tackling game of the season. Listening to the analysis post-game in the media, though, and it's basically that Ohio State was off from not playing and from COVID. Apparently, Ohio State only has 1 good wide receiver instead of 2 like Wisconsin. I was waiting for a mention of our first team All Big-Ten corner not playing in the second half or our defensive linemen being out but that is never raised. I know I sound a little bitter but at some point I would like our victories and losses against good teams to be about us rather than always being about the other team.

I Agree, but That is what happens when you play and even win, the way we do. Nobody thinks our players are worth a damn.

Why I wish we just would run our normal offense in those games we have a big lead. Good experience for our QB's and Nothing wrong with destroying a team. Instead, we just run it up the middle 25 times and wait for the game to end.

Narrative doesn’t win games.

You're not wrong but don't take it personally - that's more of an OSU thing than an NU thing. Would be the same story if Iowa gave them the same game NU did
