I think it’s probably true that the second half in Bloomington on Saturday was revealing. The problem is, I can’t say that I have a high level of confidence in that statement.
I would love to believe that Ohio State’s second half against Nebraska was just an aberration. But what would I say to an Indiana fan who said that it was revealing? I might bring up better performances against better defenses, but Indiana could make the same argument for their performance against the cheaters being an aberration. They haven’t played great teams, but Nebraska is ranked 34 places higher than the skunk bears in scoring defense nationally and 6 spaces higher in the B1G, and the Hoosiers hung a 50-burger on them.
Which game was the aberration? Did either game show who Indiana really is? If someone has a reason to be sure, please share. My usual optimism seems to have deserted me; I’d love to get it back.
