Well I don't think you can complain too much. We saw a lot more blitzing and deep throws which I think most of us wanted to see. They fought and hung around. I thought we had a decent chance to do that but you never know. Still would like better use of timeouts but I guess we can't have it all, lol.

If anything you should feel better about the Maryland and Indiana games and also Wisconsin/Nebraska. If you saw Nebraska today they found another way to lose at the end. Wisconsin missed a 38yd FG off the upright with about 1:26 left but 3 timeouts (see why it's good to be judicious using them), Nebraska punts and Wisconsin drives down the field for 40 some yd FG and again off the upright but this time it goes in with a couple secs left. Nebraska doesn't do much on the ensuing kickoff.

After this week if we keep playing the same way I don't think most of the games left look as daunting. I'd think only Michigan/OSU (though OSU is up and down) really look uphill.

Well you know he is there during the week just not gameday. The game plan doesn't just materialize out of thin air on gameday. Can't explain the sudden change to blitz more and throw deep more but Flood is part of it.
