Thank you for mentioning several times that we're not Ohio $tate, a Big Ten school with Big Ten recruiting ability. I had no idea. I think our athletes and D are pretty damn solid nonetheless.
I dont anticipate how our fans feel has any bearing on how our team feels. I imagine our team is a little more cautious. Considering how crap we used to be, we dont have any place taking another team lightly. Go Owls.
How can you say we're not that good? We had our typical give-the-other-team a free TD or two on snapping screw ups and proceeded to score 49 unanswered on you. Our freshman RB had a 'horrible' game compared to his usual and he still ran all over your D. You had no contain whatsoever on anything other than runs up the middle. Navy or GA Tech would probably have 1000 on the ground against your D.
