Notes

Live Team Notes

Killed Neb to finish 8-4, 6-3 in B1G. Good season
Stop L streak with comeback vs MSU. Found a way
2 hard L's to Ducks/USC. 6-4 feels crossroad-ish
41 pts on < 300 yds vs Minn. Def was incredible
Least penalized team in CFB, both for & against
Tired Off, beat PSU by 1 w/ backup QB. Def good
QB Gronowski trending towards playing vs Wisc
Off awful vs IU, sub 300 yds. Run Def great, Off bad
Lost 11 straight vs ranked opps thru IU game
QB Gronowski limited but improving. WR suck
