Every single aspect of the game was poor. Convince me otherwise.

O line- bad run and pass blocking

Receivers not high pointing the ball and missed some passes they should have caught, sloppy blocking on the outside

QB - setting receivers up to get murdered, no field vision, doesn't trust his legs, poor decisions, and zero accuracy

RB - clearly running injured and not as reactive side to side as he normally is, I question why we had #7 in this game. How he managed 138 yards is beyond me. Guice touched the ball to infrequently and all runs were as predictable as jack and coke being at a tiger tailgate.

D line - no penetration, troubles stuffing the run, the few tackles behind the line were less a matter of dominating their opponent as they were a combination of beneficial circumstances

DB's - out of position, confused, lack of gang tackling, many MANY wide open receivers.

punter couldn't keep ball in bounds

kicker couldn't get ball in EZ

return teams apparently could not block (unless in the back)

coverage teams didn't seem to want to hit anyone

coaches had no ability to adapt to play

continued clock management issues

fielding less than 11 players per play (I did not confirm but was told 3rd qtr punt return team only had 9 on the field)

team seemed flat, quiet, beaten.... and that was already evident in the first qtr.

I thought the defense played pretty damn well considering the circumstances

The TD to Dural may have come off a call at the line

Defense gave up 16 points and 336 total yards after being on the field for 37 minutes. There are going to be mistakes early in the year with any defense, but I expect they will get better.

This was the worst offensive football game on any level I have ever seen. I'll give 2011 bama games passes because they had a great defense. Probably top 10 this century thus far.
Watching so much talent struggle to score 7 points against the 4th or 5th best Big 10 team was like watching a monkey frick a football

Defense forced 3 turnovers dude, Key had 2 sacks. They scored a defensive TD and the other TD came off one of the forced turnovers..

They held Wisconsin to what should have been 13 total points. I give them a pass on the 3 points off the stupid 4 and 1 decision to go for it.


Was a really good defensive effort to step up and make big time plays that gave their team a chance to win.. especially considering the offense gave them almost no rest, no sustained drives.

I thought defense was very good, especially at stuffing the run. The first pick Jefferson had would have still been a pick even if Houston wasn't hit because it was a very well disguised triple coverage. Obvious weakness was coverage in the flats and stopping the TE. I thought Valentine was very good and Duke Riley made some great plays.

Red zone defense was pretty good outside of one TD drive.

Harris made a few nice throws but still inaccurate and made some poor decisions. LF did not look hurt to me his offensive line really played terrible in the first half. They did look better in the second half. Play calling still sucks, even so had a chance to win at the end. If this offensive line doesn't come together it will be a long year.

That was expected. They don't have two Running backs and probably two recievers who would be heisman favorites on any normal offense.

This is it. They only gave up 16 points. This loss was on the offensive failures, not the D's fault.

The defense played poorly with moments of shining glory mostly facilitated by a young opposing quarterback making poor decisions.


The D stats were padded by Wisc penalties at costly moments. The score should have been 7 points higher in favor of Wisconsin.


Allowing 3.2 yards per rush and 6.4 per pass is not going to be consistent with winning unless you severely limit that teams TOP.

In the 1st qtr W rushed for 15 plays and a total of 61 yards. That's over 4 yards of rushing per play in the first qtr when the defense was fresh. And it wasn't due to a big broken coverage rush of 40 yards. The longest rush of the qtr was 9 yards. Heck,they would have rushed it right into the EZ were it not for a 5 yard penalty moving them from the LSU 4 to LSU 9 on third down. An ill advised throw later and a 1st qtr 65 yard relentless drive is chocked up to playing "pretty damn well"

very little gang tackling, very few memorable big hits, no apparent wanton violence.
