What the heck.
I just had to laugh. During that awful stretch where Northwestern had negative-infinity yards and gave up two return touchdowns, a sense of absurd desperation fell over me. Like, what the heck was that? How does that even happen for an FBS school? How is that even allowed?
I then remembered I’ve already felt the exact same feeling during the Michigan State game last week. I felt the same way for Stanford, Akron, Duke, Rutgers, Illinois State, and countless other games over the course of this decade. I could put together a film breakdown of the offensive ineptitude that cost Northwestern the game, but it would be utterly pointless.
