Y'all are trying to give me a coronary. I know it.

The damnedest thing about that game. UW ran the ball. A lot. Like if you go back and sit though and watch the plays in sequence, it mostly makes sense. A lot went wrong in that game, but when you take it apart piece by piece, it's not really that way at all.

(TCU did well in the red zone, won FP in the second half, got a lot of last line of defense tackles and an outrageous game from Carder, plus Andy Dalton sort of beat them senseless. All in a low-possession game that made those foibles on the edges more damning)
The Badgers did run the ball a lot, but in a game with not that many possessions, there were enough head scratching play calls based on down and distance, particularly in the first half, to question why the Badgers didn't stick to a more limited game plan. And you are absolutely right that Carder and Dalton, and a great job by TCU's defense made a big difference.
 
And in the end, I'll take Chryst, with whatever faults he has.

Athlon gets Big Ten coaches to anonymously comment on other Big Ten schools:

https://athlonsports.com/college-football/big-ten-coaches-talk-anonymously-about-conference-foes-2019
always interesting

usually nothing crazy, sounds more like what the folks on this board say

did the coaches get asked for their predictions on the division winners like the media?

Heh. I will bet a month's pay that Paul Chryst said absolutely nothing on this thing. He barely says anything, to anyone.
Numbers wise, I expect that most of the quotes come from assistant coaches.

Nick Toon dropped that sure TD pass. That game looks a lot different is he makes that catch and scores.

I also remember that Rose Bowl because Bret burned a timeout early in the 3rd quarter for no apparent purpose other than to scream at the head lineman the whole timeout. Turns out Wisconsin could have used that TO at the end of the game.
That game vs TCU was one of the most poorly mismanaged(time wise) last 5 minutes of any game I've seen.And remember discussing it on the old board.Bert just kept huddling up with time flying out the door.Didn't go to the H.U.N.H at all until too late.The Camp Randall Board was ablaze

Bret's late game management (clock management, play calling, and inability to control his temper) cost UW the MSU game in 2008.

Well that and a phantom holding call.  ;)

I remember this even more than the mismanagement at the end of the TCU game. 2008 was such a mess for the Badgers. Talk about squandering talent and a failure of leadership (at all levels).

You don't need to remind me. That was Rodriguez's first and worst year: 3-9. And I don't need to remind you guys about one of those three. Terrible football on all sides. And UW had it comfortably until ... somehow it didn't. No matter one's rooting interests, though, I hope anyone can admit that long Steven Threet run was hilarious.

There is no better example of why I'm always pessimistic about the Badgers chances in Ann Arbor than 2008. Sigh. That Michigan team SUCKED, and the Badgers were up, what, 19-0 at the half? Augh.

Should have been more like 35-0. Field goals don't get you there on the road. That 2008 team was crap though. Glad BB was able to turn things around for himself and his team the following year.

OT, I'm drinking a Sam Adams Boston Lager.  Pretty solid stuff IMHO.

I bought some Evan Williams Single Barrel yesterday and had a finger last night, not bad.  I still prefer Woodford, but it's good, spicier.

Ever try Sam Adams Boston Ale?  I like it better than the lager.  Probably because it's less hoppy.  To me, the lager is just a tad over-hopped.
