2 would all but guarantee 7th place in the B1G (only way not would be if Minnesota, Indiana, or Penn State win 6 of final 7 games ... ain’t happening) ..... so if you think the B1G only gets 6 teams in this year, we’ll need 3, maybe 4 wins (maybe even 5 in your scenario), but otherwise, 2 will do it
A loss tonight and holding serve against Northwestern, Indiana, Maryland, and Nebraska would be critical. No margin for error. Now we only have to win three of those.
If there is an opponent that an offensive player needs a good game to get back on track.....it's definitely Iowa. 4 days off and then Iowa. This is perfect timing.
