I’m going to drop a hot take: we are headed in the right direction.
Defense looks much improved even in 3 weeks. McCray looks like the real deal. Just needs some conditioning to be able to carry it 30 times a game. In the mean time, once we get Brown back we should be able to run the ball pretty effectively. The last couple weeks have felt like the excruciating losses early in the BU tenure. But if you squint, you can see what it looks like.
That being said, Purdue was moving the ball late, and we made one big play in the end zone and got kind of lucky with another INT. I think you live or die going for it, and it was a bad decision. Absolutely fair to criticize BB on that.
But I’m seeing alot of progress already. It may take another 2-3 years but think we are building something solid, Wisky looks like they are teetering. Iowa is solid but they are what they are. Same with NW. Fleck may be turning back into a pumpkin, and the Huskers are a mess. The door is open in the west.
