The way this game has been going, a 24-7 Illinois lead may have been ball game.
USC hasn’t been doing well in the road in the BiG TeN. Anyone know their record?
I feel a little bad for them. they kicked off at 11 pm eastern last week and then had the noon kickoff this week. It’s all about tv but it’s not helpful trying to get the best from your team.
that said, they look softer than us. Illinois is not Michigan up front and they had no answer for Illinois running up the guy. Likely be good on good when they come to Lincoln. Two teams that are good at the same things.
I see this similar to Michigan. Michigan lost on the road to OU. That got them experience in a tough environment. They learned from it and got better.
USC losing today will probably propel them to paste 50 on us.
USC was probably like it’s only Illinois (and it came back to bite them) but I guarantee they’ll be up for playing us because it’s Blueblood vs Blueblood.
There’s nothing to learn. They’re a finesse team. Like they’ve always been under Lincoln Riley. Illinois bullied them
To answer my own question, it’s a small dataset but USC on-the-road results since joining the BiG Team:
2024
@ Michigan L 24-27
@ Minnesota L 17-24
@ Maryland L 28-29
@ Washington L 21-26
@ UCLA W 19-13
2025
@ Purdue W 33-17
@ Illinois L 32-34
So, basically 1-5 when having to jump multiple time zones.
I don’t understand why we didnt
Keep a similar game plan to what I’m seeing from the vadgers today… everything is getting the ball out of the hands of the QB quick.. the aggression wasn’t there in the first series on D for Michigan that we saw all game from them a few weeks ago
Wisconsin might benefit from the fact that its latest golden boy QB is injured. More likely to commit to the running game.
Which is why it would have been better for quicker throws… get the ball out of his hands quick, keeps him off his back, The DR show will always look much better if he’s completing passes even if they’re short, compared to him running for his life.
Cincy not looking like a bottom feeder
up 17-0
up 17-0
Pitt beating Boston College 10-0. BC might start the season 1-4.. remember a certain poster that loved BOB and thought he would of been a better hire than Rhule
NU didn't look physical against MICH because NU is not a physical team.
Clemson taking Belichek to the woodshed already. Wiscy looking good (unexpected) against MI in The Big House. Cincy looking really good early against the Cyclones.
Belichek experiment was quite an epic failure
Or maybe Michigan’s head coach blows - mich offense has looked much better under the replacement coach
Passing teams have destroyed wiscy, but they are pretty good against the run. How about that Nebraska D against Cincy? Looking pretty impressive but keep being a downer if that makes you feel better
Meh. Just three plays. Michigan is a big play team - shut down their big plays and they can’t do much.
Duh. Those 3 big plays beat us. You don’t see Wisconsin letting Michigan break three long runs for TD’s.
No they give up big passing plays. Didn’t realize you are such a fickell fan
