[QUOTE="RockfordIllini, post: 1789066, member: 8716"] So of course I’m disappointed in the loss but after a couple of sleeps I’m actually still feeling pretty optimistic about this year. Let’s remember… Vegas O/U is at 4.5 wins We were almost universally picked to finish last in our division We were an underdog against IU We are going unlikely to be favored in more than 1 or 2 of our conference games I think a lot of fans felt that we would be better than predicted. And, although we didn’t get the win and had a lot of self inflicted wounds, I don’t think anyone would argue we were clearly more talented than Indiana, and outgained IU by almost 100 yards. All of which is to say, so far I think we’ve shown that we are a lot more talented than a 4-5 win conference bottom feeder. A lot of the stuff that cost us the game can be fixed. Will we fix it? Remains to be seen. But we’ve clearly shown we are more talented than the punditry thought. [/QUOTE]
