Line for Wisconsin

Here's where it's really painful - Michigan puts up 56 against us and probably would've been more in the range of 63-70 if they had kept their first team in the whole game.

The next week, Michigan plays Northwestern and has to come back from a 0-17 score to win 20-17.

WTH.

It just doesn't seem like our defensive roster is that bad on paper...but it apparently really is this bad. Spread shouldn't be 22.5 points. Hard to get your mind around.

It's not that bad on paper.  It's just seems bad when you look at other paper.

 
Serious question. Will Jonathan Taylor break the Wisconsin Melvin Gordon record of 408 yards.
It will be a victory if he doesn’t. Chryst isn’t a buddy of Frost and instead of wanting to keep him around he’ll try to demoralize us. 

I think Bo’s strategy of letting Gordon tire himself out was ill conceived.

Here you go, it’s getting attention.  Dead last in the Big Ten and 77th nationally on allowing third down conversions.
This is what happens when you have a mentally weak team. Rather than stay focused they let up on 3rd and long. The other team does not and burns us. After a couple of those the team gives up. Its a discipline and focus issue, which is also causing the penalties. I blame smart phones and their destruction of attention spans......
