Understanding This Team's Score
Strengths
- Road win at Maryland (37–30)
Areas for Improvement
- Going just 1-3 at home — can't protect the home field
- Giving up 37.7 points per game — defense needs improvement
- Lost 2 games by a score or less — clutch moments have been costly
- Dropped a game against UMass (37–21), a 4.3/10 opponent they should have beaten
- Blown out by 32 points against Indiana — a lopsided loss that raised real questions
- Just 1-4 against Power Four opponents — struggles against elite competition
- FCS win is padding a thin résumé — quality FBS wins are still missing
- Negative 13.8-point scoring differential against FBS opponents — losing the points battle across the season
- Been blown out 2 times this season — there are real questions about the team's depth and resilience
- Just got blown out by 28 points against Northwestern — a brutal result heading into the next game
- Scored 35 against USC and still lost (42–35) — the defense has real problems
- Gave up 47 points to Indiana — the defense has been torched at least once
