Secondary played very well
Even though Shough had a pretty good game overall (24-41, 264 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT), the secondary, aside from the INT by Watts, and the fumble recovery by Urlacher had a pretty good day overall.
This even takes into account Ben Morrison having a less than stellar day.
They had 8 PBU's against a QB who has been having an outstanding year and a very good receiving corps.

We’re much closer on D than O, but both have a way to go.
I’d like to see more size/speed/depth on DL and a Kyle Hamilton level safety. With that, D could be close to elite.
The O is a much bigger issue and where I can see the vision for D, even if I may not entirely agree with it, the long-term offensive plan is in no way evident. QB and WR are the biggest issues, but I’m a little concerned that we may lose some of our recruiting edge at TE given our lack of passing game. There is no coherent offensive identity.
Missing three starters as killed the OL

Kyle Hamilton was a freak. IMO,we have excellent safeties, and Schuler is already
showing signs of being a future star
Schumer had a good game, and I liked Bowen’s aggressiveness.

If the O was anywhere comparable to the D, we would be top 10. And if my aunt had balls, she’d be
my uncle. And on the coaching side, losing to teams like Marshall, Stanford, and NIU is unforgivable. All at home by the way.
We have a top 10-15 D and a top 80 offense. Mind boggling.
