Teddy Greenstein's Big Ten football picks

My Yiddish is hit and miss, but I think I've found a quote that epitomizes chutzpah.

Rutgers has been outscored 136-0 in its last two games. Its quarterbacks went 2-for-18 against Michigan _ for 5 yards. One week earlier, the Scarlet Knights allowed 410 rushing yards against Ohio State. If Rutgers were an entree, you would send it back.

Yet this poured from the lips of captain Julian Pinnix-Odrick this week: "I see no reason why we can't win the rest of our games."

Is that confidence something you can take to the bank?
