Offense played its worse game of the year. Defense got to the QB, but gave up, yet again, some explosives. Those are becoming less and less uncharacteristic and more just who we are. A good D that has a couple critical breakdowns every game. NW also found a little something in the running game, not sure if that was good scheme or just bad form by us. The sack numbers really make their rushing yardage look bad.
Also, we’re actually not that great of a running team vs. B10 teams either. 152/game and 4.16/carry. Pretty mediocre.
All that to say -4.5 seems right.
