They have a good ground game and wildcat power package too was watching the BTN break them down
But Illini have been wildly inconsistent

I think the staff might need to throw the white flag on the defense and make sure the offense can score 50/60 a game that Illinois matchup doesn't look so easy

Good news Purdue looks terrible
Bad news is bo is gonna put a injured tmart out there to play

Miami (OH) is possibly the worst team in the FBS. Don't read too much into it.

Nebraska has to be able to beat Illinois(bad defense) and Purdue(bad both sides). Minnesota does not look that good.

Iowa scares me now, luckily that game is in Lincoln. I thought Iowa would be 2-10 this year, but they are going to be way better than that.

Poor Iowa, their schedule is the killer one. Iowa gets Wisconsin and Ohio State. Iowa will beat one of Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Nebraska, or Northwestern. Let's hope it is Michigan or Northwestern in Iowa City. Throw in Minnesota and Michigan State. Seven of their final eight games are currently a combined 25-3. No way Iowa can survive that.

I am starting to think Bo Pelini is one of the luckiest guys alive.

Our division is flat out horrid. UCLA is seriously twice the team as every other team left on our schedule.

Michigan sucks, Michigan State sucks, Nebraska sucks, Iowa sucks, Minnesota sucks.......and then there's Northwestern who doesn't play Defense.

If Bo would have bothered to go after more quality defensive players 3-4 years ago rather than having the hubris to think he could just coach up a bunch of 3 stars with offers from Houston and Kansas, we would be looking at a fucking title run right now. This is one of those years that only comes around once a decade. Easiest schedule I've seen in.. well.. a decade or so.

Seriously like there isn't a legit team in our divison

It's sad when BTN is picking NW

Like seriously since bo has been coaching here he has had an easy divison from big12 north to bigten divison

And next year it will be easier

Ohio State is so out of this league it's not even funny.

Braxton Miller is just too good. No team will beat tOSU. It's not going to happen.

We might stumble drunkedly through the rest of our schedule and manage to win 'em all, but if/when we meet up with tOSU in the Championship game, we might as well throw in thee fucking towel before the game even starts........because we wear diapers and the Buckeyes wear big boy pants

Nebraska isn't even mediocre this year, we are BAD. As previously mentioned, our schedule of cupcakes is the only reason we have a shot of winning 8-9 games this year, we really shouldn't win anymore.
