Game Thread: Indiana @ Wisconsin

[Smart]

I don't think this game is important enough to warrant a General Board thread. Indiana has terrible run defense. We have an amazing run offense. It should be ugly.

The interesting aspect will be Indiana's offense versus our defense. This is a big chance for the young secondary to show that they have improved.

Weather could also be fun. There's a decent chance of rain in the second half.

Badgers 63
Hoosiers 24

One Badger play. 93 yard White TD run.

Edit: Longest TD run in Badger history

Indiana clearly can't handle the rain. They have two botched snaps early, a lost fumble, and an interception. Their defensive line is getting killed as well.

17-0 Badgers less than 9 minutes into the game.

27-0 Badgers at the half. The pass offense is struggling in the rain, but it doesn't matter. White and Gordon have 296 combined rushing yards.

The defense looks great. Before this shutout, nobody had held Indy under 13 in a half.

We're good. You just have to wonder if anybody will notice.

Awesome win today. Almost had 4 100 yard rushers in the same game! Ridiculous! I love playing Indiana because it always turns into a whoopin. Wish Andersen would give Gordon more touches though.

I love this defense. As long as we have this defensive coordinator we will have an elite (top 15) defense. The young secondary is really coming into a grove.

In terms of the offense, they will continue to pound average and below D's but will struggle vs great Run D's since we are too predictable with the O-coordinator and an inept QB.

Again, week after week the three guys that hold this team back are Stave, Doe, and Southward. I've offered my opinions on how to resolve these issues but only injuries to these players will be enough to force them out of their spots as poor play is acceptable for them.

If we win in a landslide next week @ #25 Minn that will be a significant statement and I believe with a couple of L's in front of us we could possibly enter the top 14 in the BCS already. Most likely we will end up at 16-17 though.

I agree, but I also think it is extremely likely he gets the Hawaii job this offseason of Norm Chow is fired.
