They know we won’t be able to score on them and they feel this is a must win. I expect them to play simple and protect the ball counting on us to hand them the ball.
They start off with a scoring drive, we don’t. Then the game settles in for the defenses and we see a lot of punts. We turn the ball over some way on one drive and are losing 10-0 at half.
We open the next half scoring and go into the fourth with a 14-10 lead. Wisconsin, having focused on the run game, and short/easy passes the majority of the game, get a methodical drive to take the lead 17-14 with a couple minutes left. We get to mid field on our last drive but turn it over there. Wisconsin kneels it to victory.
We end with a 55/45 run/pass ratio where we average 3 yards a pass play and 4.5 yards a run play. Chubba goes 10/22 with 2 interceptions. EJ goes 15 carries for 90 yards, but splits his carries with AG and a sprinkling of other carriers who go 10 carries for 22 yards.
