Vs. Penn State, you were tied in the 4th.
Vs. Michigan State, was a 2 score game in the middle of the 3rd.
Both of those games wound up being blowouts... but you had some level of competitiveness. It wasn't the Ohio State and Iowa games.
Here you've got a missed FG, and killed yourself with 1st and Goal.
Defense has hung in there a bit. Would like to see another good offensive drive (that's finished) and keep trying to extend the game as long as possible.
