So we're roughly .500 after a bye since 2008. More mystery going into this game.

but really, we are 1-2 in October, on the road, following a bye week...

so... not so much a mystery

I don't think it means a lot except for last year our offense skid in both games. I hope this is a ready to play offense come this Saturday!

but then again... we have never played in October, on the road, following a bye week... against a Non Conference Oppononent...

so... it's a mystery again

Those two games we lost after bye weeks last season were by far the most painful games of the season. We knew the stakes for both, we played teams we could (should) have beat, needed to beat, and the team came out and laid an egg in both. That is at least partially on the coaches I feel. This is a chance for improvement in that regard. Indiana just comes off tough games at Mizzou and vs Maryland, the weeks immeadiately after this game they will get Iowa and Michigan state. We are in a classical "overlook" spot and had a full 2 weeks to prepare ourselves.
