The Victors

If you want to get nuts we can still beat OSU and we can still finish 11-1. But many posters here are adamant that Whit couldnt coach team out of a paper bag so not likely*

• Slept on it, that may have been the most disappointing loss ever because I expected it...Beck is on the clock* - By detroitbry September 27, 2026 at 07:02:40 PM
  • Same here. The sad thing is, half way through the third quarter, I was sorta anticipating we were gonna lose this way. Leading by 6, I expected Iowa to score a TD at the very end and then kick an extra point to beat us. - By BobEvans September 27, 2026 at 08:04:39 PM
    • Then UM goes for the throat and Bryce makes a great play hitting JJ and you think okay, Beck is going to be aggressive...sike!* - By detroitbry September 27, 2026 at 08:09:45 PM
      • In our very last third down, Beck called a running play. I just knew we were not playing to win. * - By BobEvans September 27, 2026 at 08:14:55 PM
        • Should have called a pass on 2nd down in my opinion* - By detroitbry September 27, 2026 at 08:16:22 PM
  • I couldn’t watch after that stupid TD drive where the guy caught a tipped ball from an out of bounds position…. - By Poster P September 27, 2026 at 07:50:31 PM
  • My issue is that the WMU game also happened - By michjd September 27, 2026 at 07:42:38 PM
    • Some would say that Bryce was so bad that Beck could not work with him for the WMU game. Speaking of bad luck, a running game would sure do wonders...it would shorten the games too* - By detroitbry September 27, 2026 at 07:55:15 PM
  • That game is on Whitt, not Beck. The pussy 3rd and 5 and lack of discipline is on him.* - By MasterBates September 27, 2026 at 07:39:14 PM
    • Beachfront is listening to romance novels on the sidelines.* - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 07:49:44 PM
    • 100%* - By el fuego September 27, 2026 at 07:43:50 PM
  • For me, it’s incredibly hard to describe this game… - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 07:20:43 PM
    • You pass up the field goal, put in the jumbo package, snap the ball to Bryce as he runs towards the LOS and then he suddenly throws a pop pass to a TE which is knocked away...I could live with that because of the attack mentality.* - By detroitbry September 27, 2026 at 07:27:36 PM
      • Switch one of 10,000 things and it’s a win. Switch 3 or 4 and it’s 30-7* - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 07:30:21 PM
        • It was like a plinko board with all wins and one loss at the end, and plinkoed the loss - By chiwalker September 27, 2026 at 07:36:23 PM
          • With this defense it is not delusional to think they could have made the playoff with 12 teams making it* - By detroitbry September 27, 2026 at 07:41:53 PM
            • In an alternate universe where one of the positive things happens and we smack Minny, then roll into the bye needing to clean up our execution, playoffs were definitely in play. Tall order now.* - By Bluebuck September 27, 2026 at 07:43:41 PM
              • Well, if we finish with just 2 more losses and this loss keeps us out I will be pretty happy with the season still* - By chiwalker September 27, 2026 at 07:54:52 PM
                • If we finish with two more losses, we'll be on the bubble. That would mean we knocked off OSU, IU, or Oregon, and ran the table against the rest.* - By Bluebuck September 27, 2026 at 08:06:32 PM
                • In previous years the defense has kept OSU in check, the question can Beck put together a plan to score enough points and/or fix the running game by the OSU game?* - By detroitbry September 27, 2026 at 07:57:18 PM
                  • If you want to get nuts we can still beat OSU and we can still finish 11-1. But many posters here are adamant that Whit couldnt coach team out of a paper bag so not likely* - By chiwalker September 27, 2026 at 08:10:27 PM
                    • I don't know about a paper bag but he can start with reducing killer penalties* - By detroitbry September 27, 2026 at 08:13:08 PM
                  • IMO the running game actually showed a ton of improvement. Much more north/south, and Marshall got 5.5 YPC. The numbers don't pop because we played Iowa. It's always tough to run on them.* - By Bluebuck September 27, 2026 at 07:59:58 PM
                    • It also sucked in the first half, aside from Bryce, before coming to life in the 2nd.* - By LewisBullox September 27, 2026 at 08:13:25 PM
                    • Yes. They shoved on that first drive of the 3rd before failing in the red zone * - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 08:06:17 PM
  • What is sad is it was not disappointing, because I expected it. It made me angry that I could see what was coming, but our dumb ass coaching staff didn’t * - By tem September 27, 2026 at 07:20:16 PM
  • My theory is he’s great QB coach but poor OC and overconfident from first two year of success* - By harbaughdyssey September 27, 2026 at 07:08:18 PM
