Understanding This Team's Score
Strengths
- Capable of dominant performances — beat Eastern Michigan by 28 points
- Winning by an average of 19.0 points against FBS opponents — comfortable and in control
- Held Eastern Michigan to just 7 points — a suffocating defensive effort
Areas for Improvement
- Lost 6 straight — in a difficult stretch that's hurting the resume
- Going just 2-3 at home — can't protect the home field
- 0-3 away from home — have not figured out how to win on the road
- Struggling to score — averaging only 19.9 points per game
- 0-2 in one-score games — keep finding ways to lose close ones
- Blown out by 28 points against Wisconsin — a lopsided loss that raised real questions
- Just 0-6 against Power Four opponents — struggles against elite competition
- Coming off a 18-point loss to UCLA — not a good look going forward
- Scored 37 against Illinois and still lost (38–37) — the defense has real problems
- Scored 10 or fewer points 3 times — the offense has gone completely cold in key games
