Watching Iowa and Illinois for some unknown reason. Holy mother of god, Illinois' offense is absolutely awful.

And why does Lovie Smith need a headset? He never says a word.

That's just the B1G in general. They claim it's great defense, but great defense doesn't explain an average of 2 uncontested dropped passes per possession.

Ha ha - I remember on the Big Ten Network they featured players imitating their head coaches; an Illinois player said that he couldn't, because "since he came here I haven't heard him say 10 words."

It's better than watching the flag football that is the big 12

When do you mostly see missed tackles? In the open field. You realize half the tackles made in the Big XII's spread offenses have to be made in the open field right?

Iowa State's scoring average went up nearly 5 ppg during conference play. And that's with an ooc schedule that included SJSU and uni.

It's kind of refreshing to watch a P5 offense that ISU is far and away better than.

I wouldn't have even thought it possible. Illinois on pace for 16 or 17 punts.

So every team in the conference just happens to increase their scoring in conference play?

The Big 12 has some bad defenses and some teams that seem indifferent about playing D...but the Big Ten has offenses that are just as bad.

I can barely even believe a major conference team can look this much worse than ISU on offense. ISU looks like an NFL offense compared to Illinois and we suck.

I'll agree with all of this. Some terrible offenses, including Iowa's.
