Bakers Dozen: Ranking Brohm’s wins

[Bullwhip Griffith]

13. Illinois 2018-Illini not very good and went youth movement

12. Nebraska 2018-Nice win, but see above

11. Illinois 2017-Good win marred by Blough injury

10. Ohio 2017-First Brohm win at night over a good MAC team

9. Minnesota 2017-Last three minutes very exciting

8. Indiana 2018-Three Big offensive plays enough to stymie IU

7. Indiana 2017- Big lead late, secured bowl birth

6. Iowa 2018- Clutch FG late to win third game against rank opponent of season.

5. Iowa 2017- Made a French man a star in Iowa

4. Arizona 2017- Made a French man a star in California

3. Missouri 2017- Dominated a SEC team at their place

2. Boston College 2018- Ranked team with a Heisman hopeful at RB completely shut down

1. Ohio State 2018- At night, sold out crowd, #2, Bailey pick 6, Tyler Trent...enough to make Urban quit

 

[Chi-Boiler]

I'd probably move the Nebraska win up even with how bad they were.

I'd put IU at the bottom. Where they belong in everything.

I think I would move 2018 Iowa up to #3. Good crowd, last second FG, etc. Most importantly, the other team won 8 regular season games. That's more games than anyone else but OSU on this list.

Move Ohio and Nebraska up a couple.

Ohio was the first win of the Brohm era. First home game. First game under the lights. Really signified a changing of the guard. People forget that was a good Ohio team that would have rocked us the previous year.

Nebraska is better than their record indicates, and winning in Lincoln snapped a long streak.

 

[ahhculdee]

Flop the Illinois wins. This year was a beating, last year was too close for comfort.

The Arizona win gave them their first winning season in forever on a big stage. I would be comfortable moving that up to #2.

OSU is the obvious number 1 and may stay that way for a while. Kept OSU out of the playoffs in a dominant performance. Got a ton of national attention plus the Trent story. Is there a better win in the last 15 years when factor in where Purdue was and what it meant?

 

[RDUBoiler]

I might put Missouri second because it felt like a breakthrough win for the program. While beating MAC teams was far from routine in the Hazell era, beating a solid SEC team sent a loud message.

 

[Purduemoe]

If we keep improving as a team the next few years I think that OSU win could go down as the most important one ever for the program.

 

[njm8845]

Nebraska is better than their record indicates, and winning in Lincoln snapped a long streak.

It couldn't have been that long of a streak... we simply haven't played them much. And we did beat them in 2015.

It couldn't have been that long of a streak... we simply haven't played them much. And we did beat them in 2015.

Streak was probably the wrong word, but it was our first win in Lincoln (granted in few opportunities). We were only a 3.5 point favorite with Nebraska's backs against the wall. We were favored by 14 against that 2017 Illinois team that was going through the motions without a QB.
