[QUOTE="lexwaldez, post: 1969583, member: 9817"] Agreed. We hang 43 points on NW and it still translates to a loss. It was a rough year marked by a lack of discipline, mental mistakes, and stupid penalties - Illinois 749 to our Opp 573. We're what... -8 on turnovers? That's poison. We're 25 of 36 for TD's in redzone with Opp 34 of 53; we let opponents get into our redzone 53 times to our 36??? Opp out-rushed us 1802 to our 1517 yards. We improved in passing being roughly equal with opponents and leading them in total passing yards 3175 to 2737. I think it really was a case of us beating ourselves. That was just a very disappointing football season from the first to the last game. Transfer QB breathed some life into the team on the back end which was nice for a change. Damn shame we turned the ball over so much today to lose today but Northwestern was clearly the better team and that sucks. [/QUOTE]
