It’s time to ask the question you’ve all been waiting for.
We’re not asking, “Why doesn’t Rutgers have a Big Ten rivalry trophy yet?” Nor are we asking, “Why does Nike keep trying to make neon green a thing in the Spartans’ uniforms?”
No, it’s time to ask, “How good are the Buckeyes, really?”
The offense is good, right? They hung 52 on Nebraska. Then again, Illinois hung 41 on Nebraska with a QB who hadn’t played in four weeks.
The defense is good, right? Then again, they let Rutgers score 27, just eight points less than the Scarlet Knights put up in regulation against Michigan two weeks later, and we’re pretty sure the U-M defense is bad.
