I have many thoughts on this game now that my blood isn't as boiling:
-We got outplayed overall tonight.
-The secondary is atrocious and is not being put in the best position to succeed, stop playing single coverage everywhere and stop playing prevent in the final minute with 15 yards of cushion on the receivers. Also catch the fucking ball and that play never happens.
-As good as Cook is you need to know the situation, you can't chuck it 20 yards out of bounds with 2 seconds left to end the game
-The refs should be suspended ala the Duke-Miami refs, worst call of the year bar none. Unfortunately the Big Ten office is filled with gutless pussies that don't have the balls to make the right decision.
-We have the worst special teams unit in FBS football, the guys suck and the coach needs to go. Whether it's kicking it OB or these stupid ass squibs or penalties that give the other team the ball at the 50 it's costing us games.
-The play call on 3rd and 8 to ice the game with a little over a minute left was absolutely asinine. An end around with a TE? Let Cook work his magic. Throw a safe pass or something for 5 yards and maybe the receiver can make a play to get the 1st. Timid play calling with a don't lose mentality.
I think there's little chance we get in now, even if we win out. I won't get over this loss for a while.[/QU
"juuuuuust....hoooold oooooon" that retard menatlity has been going on over 20years ( even with legitimate teams other than the rose bowl year). Were lucky to have won as many games as we have
