Anyone feel like the dawgs are going to feast on the Big ten?

lose to Rutgers? that's brutal
Not only that, they completely dominated that game. 3 missed FGs, yet AGAIN they have 1st and goal and can't score. Blocked kick and a kid runs out on the field, immediately they give up a TD. This should have been a f'ing blowout. Period.

Just like the Apple Cup debacle. Giving away the game. This was even worse.

They look like a totally different team so far against Michigan. Why? They're not constantly committing back breaking penalties.

Welp, 2 more missed FG's, poor clock management at the end of the first half cost them at least a couple more shots at a TD's, and it looks like they've just kind of fizzled out after a really good start.

Still most of the 2nd half left, but they need a spark from someone right now.

Nice win tonight. Shouldn't have been that close against a team that can't throw, but it's good that you're getting more comfortable when you're not cursed to play our perennial conference powerhouses like Rutgers.

Still waiting for those Pac-12 adds to actually make the division better. USC just lost to Minnesota. Oregon's best win was by three-points at home against a Mountain West team. UCLA might not a conference game the entire season.

And Ohio State's best win was what? An unranked Iowa team at home? A mediocre Michigan State team on the road?

They're 5 games into a season in a new conference. What were you expecting or hoping to see out of the Pac-12 adds in the first 5 weeks?

The Big Ten added the 3 strongest college football programs on the west coast in Oregon, USC, and Washington. You genuinely don't see how adding those programs makes the conference any better or any stronger?

Anyway, still waiting for like half of the teams that were already in the Big Ten to make the conference any better. Been waiting for an awfully long time on that one.

I'm a massive UW fan, and I didn't expect them to beat Michigan. Pleasant surprise, and a huge win after handing away the games against the Poogs and Rudgers.
