We have been more competitive in the trenches against the Big Ten's elite physical teams.
last year when we played Wisconsin, Michigan State and Ohio State we were pushed all around the field and not even competitive physically.
This year against Wisconsin, Harbaugh's Michigan, we held our own in the trenches (at least defensively against Michigan). Heck, today Wisconsin had to pass against us in the 2nd half because they couldn't run against us between the tackles.
We have the recruiting base to out athlete the Big Ten, if we can be competitive in the trenches, we can be a contender in this league.
