With the 2018 season officially in the rear view mirror, we can now look back and see how the season went with some clarity.
The Lions started strong with wins over Appalachian State, Pitt, Kent State, and Illinois, in which they averaged 55.5 points per game, while giving up only 19.5 points per game.
Then in week 5, they had #2 Ohio State on the ropes, leading by 12 points with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, before unraveling, ultimately losing by 27-26.
From there, it seemed like the team - chock full of young players unused to adversity - folded a bit.
