We seem to always give up a score to end the first half and then completely lay an egg in the second half. Usually give up a score to start the second half. Game over. We haven’t scored an offensive TD in the second half in our last 5 games . A grand total of 6 points from the offense in 5 games. This goes beyond a statistical fluke. What is the staff doing at halftime?
Here are the scores of our opens versus NU in the second half. Opposition seems to get better in second and actually figures out a few things like how to score more and give up less. We do this on neither side of the ball. We have had one good second half and that was against a brutal Maryland team that decided to no show after a turnover.
Michigan 33-0
Ohio State 10-0
Purdue 10-3
Iowa 28-7
Wisconsin 9-3
Maryland 3-20
Indiana 24-14
Washington 7-3
