I'm gonna say 2011 Wisconsin. When he went into meltdown mode, he reeeeeeally went into meltdown mode. He had a couple bad throws and a fumble but he still kept trying and made quite a few good plays in the process. Can't fault a person for trying.

It's a no-brainer. His performance against Wisconsin was much worse than this. And for one reason: he gave up against Wisconsin. You could see it, and you couldn't see it tonight. He came out each time after an INT and did his best to put together a good drive to calm [himself] and the team down. He didn't have back to back INTs. He had good running plays, and he ran tough. Those are all things he didn't do against Wisconsin.

He didn't play well tonight, and he will be the first person to tell you that he was partly responsible for the loss and that he will improve and make sure that it won't happen again. It's a growing experience, and he still has a lot of growing to do.

But he is light years ahead of where he was last year, and he still has the rest of this season, and next season to keep improving.

This one didn't quite snowball like that one did. But they're still spotting waaaaay too many free points to the opposition.

The one thing different about this game is that they did a good job of brushing off their mistakes... to a point until they became too much to overcome.
