Perhaps this is how I should I phrased it in my post. While the team was not hot before the OSU game, it seemed like they dropped a few gears in the fourth quarter of that game and never picked them back up leading to much closer results later on than perhaps we might have expected before.
Certainly I would have expected a blowout against Rutgers and the Wisconsin game could have potentially turned into one as well. (That's a team the year really went sideways on)
In the end, if the team takes care of business, we are likely all going to just have to be "disappointed" with a third consecutive ten+ win season when it could have been as few as eight or as many as twelve with a few different plays here and there.
