Look, the loss to the skunk bears was catastrophic, don’t get me wrong, But this is sports and anything can happen. 9 times out of 10 OSU beats UM just by showing up to the field with this talent gap. Unfortunately, last Saturday was the 1.
yes, the game plan was terrible and we played directly into their strength but even with that baked in, everything that could go wrong, did.
1. head injury for QB1 very early in the game. He was not right after that.
2. two missed “chip shot” FGs
3. skunk bears scoring 10 of their 13 points on 2 drives of 6 plays and 5 yards. This rarely happens in football.
this team is still a top 3 team in the country. There is Oregon, Texas, and OSU (in no particular order) and then a significant gap in the rest of the country. We’ve played Oregon on the road and lost by 1 (thanks to an atrocious offensive PI call), we can beat anyone in the country. And honestly, I expect them to.
