This isn't an over reaction. The loss to Illinois, which is showing to be a pretty good team, is one thing. The total meltdown in OT was sadly predictable, but man was is it bad... bad, bad.
Getting beat by Indianus on the road is one thing. First off, we didn't really know enough about Indianus to know if they were a fraud or not, so hard to call that one IMO. But to get our doors completely blown off like we did - again, bad.... bad, bad.
The sad part is, most of the rest of the B1G is trending up/improving a bit at least. And we are definitely trending down. That shit has to stop. Same thing year after year after year - we fold our tents mid season if not sooner. At least we beat Cockeye when Trey Palmer was basically unstoppable.
We basically have no chance this saturday. Realistically we should be hoping for a "good" showing - like a 35 to 15 loss or something. That's depressing to say, but reality.
After the OSU game, we have to beat UCLAbia. Just not an option to lose to them. Then USC, Wiscy and Cockeye - none "easy" games. We will not be favored in any games the rest of the way except for UCLAbia.
So we need to show a pulse against OSU. Beat UCLAbia. And at least hold our own in our last 3 games, hopefully winning at least one of those.
Those are realistic goals. Anything better than that - like losing to OSU then winning out - probably fantasy land.
