As long as I've followed NU we've had a history of doing the unpredictable. Beat Notre Dame. Lose to Miami of Ohio. Beat Michigan. Lose to Army. Win the Big Ten West. Lose to New Hampshire Eastern and who knows who else. Crush a great Utah team in a bowl.
But this year, we've, for once, done pretty much the predicted. Beat some stink NC teams. Lose a nailbiter to an evenly matched Duke team. Lose handily to good Indiana and pretty good Iowa team. Maybe Maryland was a small outlier (but we tend to own them). Beat a stink Purdue team.
Seems unusual that we have done "the expected" for once with no crazy outlier upsets or pathetic losses.
