If I'm wrong for thinking we shouldn't cut off the jets against a 4-0 team, I don't want to be right.
I really don't know what hanging 72 points on a team has to do with it. I'm not saying we have to slaughter a team 74-0, I'm just saying when we get up by 10-30 points we shouldn't be letting the foot off of the gas and that's usually what happens. Especially against good/ranked opponents. I'm not exactly arguing that we should destroy Youngstown State here. It just disappoints me that we have a tendency to slack or hold back after we take the lead against good football teams.

I think what's disappointing about pulling up in this game is that I'd really have liked to see us dominate and fire on all cylinders before the big night game at Wisky. I know JT is still trying to find some players and wants to take some looks at some young guys, but in game 5 going into that big game next week...I was really hoping to go in there on a VERY high note.
Oh well, maybe this score looking close will actually help keep our guys grounded. They see that you can't let up against anyone or else. I have to say though, all the false starts and substitution penalties...that stuff can't happen in game 5. We have to clean that up and not blow opportunities up at Camp Randall.
