Interested in any thoughts on TC's comments that once we lost starting tackle in game up 17-0, decided to go conservative to prevent Rhoda from more pass rush, fumble, etc. On one hand can't blame him with need for must win with first game starter, don't give inferior opponent any reason to get on roll. Defense playing well, so don't make a mistake. The other view is this seems a bit like how he has approached the entire three BIG games so far, very conservative. In general, it served him well vs PSU and Terps, not against IA. As the year evolves down the stretch, it will be interesting to see if he and Johnson build towards a more confident offensive team approach particularly when Mitch back vs Illinois, because even if you rely on Smith and Brooks to pound and catch, you can play somewhat more aggressive.
