Northwestern is getting smashed.
I like Fitzgerald, but... What does this make? Nine straight losses?

I think he deserves some latitude. His best player smoked his way to a suspension then transferred just days before the season. He's had to deal with the unionization stuff all offseason, and he's at a doormat program that only does something noteworthy when Ohio State rotates off their schedule. I don't think he's some sort of genius but I don't think he deserves too much criticism either. Both Fitzgerald and that program have found their level.

They under performed last year... some of it was bad luck and injury but really should've been bowl eligible.
I think his team deserves criticism with the way they habitually choke and lose composure. His talent base is limited, but the lack of pride and quitting early deserves attention.
