83-13 in six quarters against Indiana and OSU. Sometimes you just gotta laugh.

Luke gotta recognize that and toss the ball toward the sideline. Can't just collapse to the turf
Priestly got ambushed.
With what we’ve done today, I’ll take 20-3 and the ball to start the half.

It’s also not NOT the refs. 3 back-breaking horse
calls are tough to recover from
Just far too many mistakes/ drops/ penalties against number 1.
Unforced errors are the story of the first half.

Give the defense their props. Should be 35-3 given the offensive and special teams disasters.
Pass interference on every receiver in the end zone and force them to run into 300 lib lineman. If they called every PI on these thug DB's they'd a record for penalty yards.
Trying to pace myself for the Cubs game. It isn't going well.
So are two turnovers, the punter having his knee on the ground(basically a turnover) and the TE jumping offsides at the 2 yard line......let's look in the mirror.It’s also not NOT the refs. 3 back-breaking horse
Can't wait to hear at halftime how outstanding OSU's DBs are playing. Puke
Definitely not. Its the mistakes.
Not understanding that. No matter what happened or what the context might be, we can’t take 20-3 at half
I’m conflicted about how to feel about the dirt half. QB/WR connections have been less than stellar. Never thought I would say the offense is the reason why we look bad this game.
Refs have been “eh”, but I don’t think the calls have been as bad as some of you do.
We held them to 20 points while blessing them with amazing field position throughout the game. Clean up the mistakes. I think we are more in this than I thought we would be at half.
Let’s make it respectable before the end of the third, and win it in the fourth.
I-L-L!

What would the score be without the TOs and terrible officiating?

This team is too old and experienced to be making the kinds of mistakes we're making with this opportunity. That to me is the really frustrating part. Figure it out at halftime, get some points out of the half, and just give us a chance.
Hopefully, the good news is that the magazine we use to store the bullets we keep shooting ourselves in the foot with should be empty…

Another game that establishes that we're a solid, second tier Big Ten team that just doesn't have enough to hang with the truly elite teams.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for BB and this staff getting us to this point.
But it's time for a few changes if we want to take that next step.
Disappointed in the lack of mental fortitude and miscues on offense. Plus is the line has held up as well as anyone could hope for and defense has not been the cause of our implosions. Offense does seem to struggle and fall apart against good-great defenses which sucks but not something to hold us back from having a great last half to the season.
