Way too early, but let's indulge ourselves

14
2009 Schedule Let's look ahead to next season for just a minute: 1. 4th game of the season, at home, in September: Iowa. Possibility of revenge comes very early. 2. Schedule: Wisky goes, so does Purdue. Replaced by NW and Minny. oddly this seems good for our Strength of Schedule. 3. We start on September 5th: NO BYE WEEK. 12 straight games. good. 4. only 4 away games: Illinois, Mich, NW, MSU. Only Mich and NW are consecutive. very favorable. 5. Early guesses are, our defense will be much improved while our offense will be much worse based on returning starters. Just some things to help you thru this slump (if you can call it that).
