I wish him the best and think it was smart for him to jump this year rather than next season. THe draft is light on RBs this year but has the potential to be loaded with talent next year.
I'm starting to wonder if something is going on that we don't know about behind the scenes. If we had two NFL ready linemen I'm pretty sure we would have looked much better than we did.
Honestly I don't think Fitzgerald will leave Northwestern unless he catches wind that he's about to be run out of town. I have a feeling he'll be one of those rare career coaches at a single school if they'll have him.
This weather has me thinking Maryland could win in an upset in a close game. They need this win to be guaranteed a bowl, we will have to be one dimensional in running due to the weather and ongoing struggles.
Our offense the last several weeks hasn't given me reason to think we'll blow Maryland out, so 14 points is reasonable to me. I do think our defense will do well against a (hopefully) exhausted Maryland offense. I'll go PSU 31-17 though a much closer game will not shock me in the slightest given...
Not seeing how this is a problem given how the current playoffs did it.
I think its a bit naive to think they couldn't come to some sort of agreement on this, be it letting all teams have a post-season practice period (basically do as it is) or an extended spring/summer training period to...
I don't expect playoff appearances every year, especially with it only being 4 teams at present. Presntly all I want is for us to be in the running and in the BigTen championships conversation.
That said, I really want the bowl system to just die so a 12-16 team playoff can take its place even...
We lose in the "Who cares because its not the playoffs or New Years' Six Bowl" failing to get the participation trophy from playing in a meaningless bowl game.
Beyond the extra practices that a bowl grants I really don't care about bowls in the Playoff era.
I think we'll have a boulder on our shoulder and be able to pull off the win. Unfortunately I think we'll end up in a mismatch for our bowl and can't say I anticipate 10 wins.
