So here we are, the time of the season where you rack up some OOC wins and build confidence. That's important.
But there's a flip side. Things that happen against Indiana St or Florida Atlantic that won't hold up against legit FBS athletes. It can be like training a bad habit (for the fans anyway).
My question is who or what is going to stand out against ISU that won't hold up during Big Ten play?
See UConn game last year:
-Respectable rushing attack= 187 yds on 4.5 ypc
-Jack Plummer is the real deal= 4 TD and 0 INT
-Sully's got pass rush game = 2 QB hurries
And all of that disappeared the very next game against ND
My guesses:
Running game will get going again and people will remark about the improved speed of the RB position.
One of the LEOs, I'll say Jenkins, will have a career day.
Piferi will make a couple plays and look like a serviceable TE.
This needs to be a drinking game.
