i know--i am grasping for straws here, but it does show that a) you cant take any one for granted and b) any team does have some talent that, when combined with the opposition giving the ball away numerous times and shooting themselves in the foot, can spring an upset

we cant afford mistakes. Some of the interceptions today were on our OL, imo---ryker didnt have much protection i thought he threw the short passes and screens very well. His sidearm delivery is pretty unorthodox but he uses it when he is hurried, it appeared.

We went into a game with the 104th rushing defense in the nation last in the B1G with a game plan to throw the freaking ball with a backup QB that has thrown 8 passes all year. That is on the coaches, not the line not the QB not the receivers, the COACHES.

The only talent gap we have with any team we have lost to is the gap between Riley's ears.

Exactly correct. You can't go minus 5 on turnovers and expect to win. Fyfe had pressure but he still didn't take care of the ball. Frankly I was afraid of that happening and it was actually worse than I thought it might be.
