Understanding This Team's Score

Strengths
  • Solid win over Oregon (21–10), a 5.2/10 quality opponent
  • Won their last 2 games — trending in the right direction
  • Road win at Michigan State (38–37)
  • Shut down Oregon, holding them to 10 points
  • Overtime win over Michigan State — knows how to finish in pressure moments
Areas for Improvement
  • Going just 3-2 at home — can't protect the home field
  • Lost 2 games by a score or less — clutch moments have been costly
  • Blown out by 23 points against Ohio State — a lopsided loss that raised real questions
  • Just 2-3 against Power Four opponents — struggles against elite competition
  • Gave up 42 points to Ohio State — the defense has been torched at least once
