Understanding This Team's Score
Strengths
- Solid win over West Virginia (45–42), a 5.4/10 quality opponent
- Capable of dominant performances — beat Bowling Green by 48 points
- Averaging a 25.5-point margin of victory against FBS opponents — not just winning, dominating
- Erupted for 55 points against Bowling Green — capable of putting up historic numbers
- Held Bowling Green to just 7 points — a suffocating defensive effort
Areas for Improvement
- Back-to-back losses raising questions about the team's ceiling
- Home loss to Utah is a blemish on the résumé
- 0-3 away from home — have not figured out how to win on the road
- Rivalry loss to Iowa (16–13) still stings
- Blown out by 36 points against Arizona — a lopsided loss that raised real questions
- Just 1-4 against Power Four opponents — struggles against elite competition
- Just got blown out by 36 points against Arizona — a brutal result heading into the next game
- Scored 10 or fewer points 2 times — the offense has gone completely cold in key games
- Gave up 42 points to West Virginia — the defense has been torched at least once
