yFirst off we can only play them one week at a time so we'll see where things stand after OSU next Saturday night...
That said, I am concerned we might have a let down against Purdue. They are a desperate team and can score points. We need to be ready to play them a with our A game or could be upset.
Maryland is not that good which means our victory is less impressive although we did beat Minnesota who looked solid today.
Iowa is beatable but again we must play our A game. They will not beat themselves.
Indiana on the road is a MAJOR concern. This team plays hard and now has some confidence. I don't have a warm and fuzzy about this one. My guess Indiana looks at us as a beatable opponent.
If we were playing Rutgers at home or at noon there I think we could roll but at 8:00 PM in a hostile environment not as confident. I think we win because we have more talent but I expect them to play their best game of the season against us.
Michigan State is a tough call. It depends on which team shows up. If they are on it will be an up hill battle if they are un-motivated we win.
Overall I see no better than 7-5. Maybe 8-4 but that means we don't stub our toe against one of the lesser teams on the road and take out either Iowa or Michigan State.
I expect we'll be more competitive against OSU than Michigan but really don't see us being much of a threat to beat the Bucknuts this season.
