unremarkable last season, losing 5 games, including 3 of their last 5, and getting punked by Northwestern in their bowl game. They were unranked late in the season, and I don’t think they were even among the “others receiving votes” in the final poll.
Finishing with 3 or 4 losses would be an improvement for them vs. last year, especially if they can win a bowl game for the first time in a long time.
Seems to me like they’re kind of on track for a similar season to last year.
