That 1997 game should have been a win for us. Ricky was running wild, and Mackovic inexplicably decided to abandon the run for the pass. And we lose.
Welp. Guess that does it. Just numb to the embarrassing losses now. Keeping games reasonable is one thing. Strong doesn't appear to know how to make that happen, let alone win in a fashion that exploits opponent weaknesses.
So Poonah bows to the crowd and gets flagged against ND and the OSU defender here struts around and, no flag.
I predicted 8-4. They have got to go 6-2 the rest of the way. Its gonna be tough to do that the way the defense is playing like a sieve.
