The only game the Hawks have won the time of possession battle was week 1. Granted Saturday/Sunday wasn't a great example considering both teams sat longer than they played but that's a worrisome stat for a team that strives for ball control. It's likely to only get worse with the possible exception of Nebraska who loves to let the turf carry the ball as much as their runners.
again our defense is not on the field too much… Incidentally have you seen Wisconsin, Northwestern (I was @ Northwestern last weekend ), Nebraska, Illinois or Purdue play?
I haven’t got to see Minnesota yet but Purdue keeps ****ing things up! They are pretty poorly coached overall to be honest with you!
I really don’t get our fans sometimes. I honestly don’t care if you’ve given up on the season just bail out. I think most of would enjoy it we don’t have to listen to you all the time…
And honestly I can’t tell anymore if you’re one of the ones that complain or not so if you aren’t I apologize but honestly I just want to watch football games. I love defense, I love watching our defense play and I like to win.
I haven’t seen anyone in the Big Ten yet that looks particularly great including Ohio State?!
I think Penn State’s probably pretty good but Michigan has played three of the 20 worst teams in FBS football. South Dakota State would’ve been everyone of those teams by two or three touchdowns!
Nothings changed for me… if every team we play has a murderous time moving the football. Then we still have a chance and our defense is deep. I’m not particularly worried about them wearing out!
PS… I will add our offensive showing over the first two games is as bad as I’ve ever seen and the 3rd was only marginally better. However we are still, Iowa and we still will have a chance in every game. I’m not sure why so many fans have decided to give up but it is what it is. But please those of you that have, just quit posting I’m begging you!
