After a rough four-in-a record last year, there were, since 1990, the team went all in on the transfer portal, beefing up the roster, everywhere, especially at quarterback, heading into a softer schedule on paper. Fans are buzzing with cautious hope, as spring practice wraps, eye in that opener against Notre Dame, at Lambo Field, as the biggest test, plus road. Trips to Penn State and Iowa in Big Ten play. No Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana, or Michigan on the slate helps, and they draw six of the seven-weekest Big Ten squads from last year, with a by-week.
