Four-Star Recruit
You can only keep inspiring/yelling at your players for so long before they see through it. I do agree with those that are saying our execution was terrible, and yes that's not all on the coaches, but it's the coaches fault for putting our players in such a demoralizing position. If you're out there in the third quarter, losing 42-10, and your big "comeback effort" falls on its face during the first drive when TMart throws a pick, are you really gonna be busting your a$$ trying to make plays? Or are you gonna be thinking about wrapping this painful game up? It's easy for us to say things like "play for pride", "man up", etc; but most of us don't remember/realize how painful it is to be continually slamming yourself against huge guys when the outcome isn't gonna change, especially for our D-linemen and interior LBs who had a 50-100/lb disadvantage per person against Wisc's OL.
Yes the team gave up. That's on Bo.
