Same. Purdue, a game I missed, was the straw that broke the camel’s back Archived Message

I could wish away Kansas as our first true road game, a great QB, and Henry’s first real DC test. Penn state is Penn state. Toledo was game 1. FAU not being a blowout had me silently kinda concerned, and then a pantsing at Purdue. That’s just not a good run of games. No confidence in anything right now. Previous Message Tough place to be on 3 Oct. Previous Message Game predictions usually come down to faith in the team. Most fans, myself included, don’t have any faith in this team right now. Previous Message our team is not locked in right now. they are bad tho.... Previous Message Does anybody care? I'm not even sure what kind of talking points for this week I can come up with. Illinois is a small favorite right now since Nebraska is equally terrible. Is this a battle for 14th in the conference? I guess hopefully there really will be some soul-searching on finding some kind of offensive identity, but with this horrific OL, nothing really will work consistently. That is the biggest issue. So... I don't know.
