1. The running back “room” has been incredibly overrated,
2. The tight end room has been overrated.
3. The OL has been overrated.
4. Sean Clifford may not be an elite quarterback, but he is certainly better than average.
5. Those of us, including me, who thought this looked like one of the least talented teams of the past ten years were wrong. The defense can dominate games with five outstanding players.
6. You live and die by the portal. Without AK and DT the defense has holes. Without at least an average backup quarterback on the roster this team was facing disaster.
7. Iowa had almost everything go their way yesterday. Field position, turnovers, and injuries. It still took them until a few minutes left in the fourth quarter to win. This despite an historically terrible game played by the backup quarterback and poor coaching that led to an incredible number of false starts by the OL.
8. The top teams in the B1G are tOSU, PSU "when Clifford is healthy", Michigan, Iowa, Michigan State in that order. When Clifford can't play PSU is no better than fifth or sixth.
9. If insanity is defined as doing something over and over again and expecting a different result, then the Franklin lovers are insane. A team that is unable to beat rated teams on the road better than PSU is not elite, and by CJF standards that is what we have to be to be successful.
10. Does anyone look at the roster and expect that next year this team will challenge for the Top Ten?
11. Iowa should drop in the ratings, despite beating us.
