I think we win for a few reasons. We have a cocky QB who will take chances. We have an improved defense (maybe not a lot, but better). We have better athletes and a good attitude. NOW, just eliminate the huge mistakes and we win. These are the exact same reasons why I feel we will win - could not have said it better. My only add is that I think this teams supports the leadership of Plitt much more than that of Riley, add his cowboy attitude and a slightly improved defense and you have the win. agree about the team rallying around plitt more |

It's not like we are losing to teams who are playing mistake free football. I would think IU, FAU and NC State all did a lot of butt chewing the following week. If we can't beat average teams without eliminating miscues then we aren't very good. As far as how good we are? Of course we are not very good by an FBS measure, we are in a weak FBS conference and not in the top half of that weak conference.
We are right in the middle of all the college teams rated by Jeff Sagarin.
Losing to FAU at home as we did was the big disappointment. As someone says above, these teams did not play great football to beat us. Given that they did not, and if had played a really great game, we might also have narrowly won one against one of those big schools.
Being "very good" by FBS standards isn't in the cards for this program on this budget. Baby steps to put us in the middle of the MAC or a little above doesn't look out of reach. We have to compare to the MAC.
After all our greatest teams were not "very good" by the bulk of FBS conference standings, well, except maybe by IU standards.
Exactly we are just striving to be not horrible. I hope no one thinks we are a very good football team |

Niu will methodically beat us down and frustrate us and we’ll begin making the usual mistakes and that will be that. Nah, we'll probably have them on the ropes late, facing 3rd and 20-something, when one of our defensive ends decides to make a rare appearance and take down their QB, only to throw him forward and allow him to hit a wide open receiver for a first down.
Yes, Newsome's failure to properly sack Jordan Lynch by trying to throw him down instead of just tackling him will forever be etched into my memory.
No one who sat that shitshow will never be able to forget it.. Looking back that may be the play the coined and defines BSUish
Couldn't you have just left that alone  ? Just when you think you're getting past something it raises it's ugly head again !!!!!!

Watching NIU and Vandy.. Having Nightmares watching our old offense VS NIU.. Vandy will probably pull this off but same old riley stat line. NIU defense is pretty good but they do not seem to have much of an offense right now

Side not NIU was without 2 lbs alreadu and lost another for targeting. Is the rule for targeting still a one half suspension? If so they could be down 3 lb's to start against us

Buffalo beat Temple but today Miami is blowing them out. Scratch Miami off as a possible win for us.

Niu with just a horrible play that should have been a TD.. Vandy and Riley lucky.. NIU now over 400 yards of offense. Going to be a tough game for us
