Winning that game was nice and good. It was weird to watch the defense play like garbage, which usually hasn’t happened, and then watch it suddenly decide to save the offense, which played more competently than it has. We are done with the year, and I’m glad it is over for many reasons.

It’s really hard to outgain a team by that much and lose.  That is nuts.  Makes for an interesting question.

What’s the most your favorite team ever outgained an opponent and lost.  Conversely, what is the most they have ever been outgained and won?  Obviously, it will be hard to know the real answer to that but a couple of games jump to mind for me.  In 2007, WVU outgained USF 437-274 and lost.  6 Turnovers.  No suprise.

In 09, UConn outgained WVU 501-387 and lost.  There may be more extreme cases but I remember that one.  Going to be hard to beat that Wisconsin box score though.
OSU out gained Clemson last year 516- 416. Not the most extreme example, but you asked.

having said that, uw's other drives in the box score don't exactly give a lot of confidence either.
They sure don't, UW's non-scoring drives:
  • Start at their 25, 3 plays, 9 yards, Punt
  • Start at their 23, 4 plays, 6 yards, Punt
  • Start at their 6, 10 plays, 53 yards, Punt
  • Start at their 21, 5 plays, 26 yards, INT
  • Start at their 25, 3 plays, 9 yards, Punt
  • Start at their 46, 3 plays, 8 yards, Punt
  • Start at Wake's 26, 3 plays, -4 yards, Missed FG
  • Start at their 12, 6 plays, 7 yards, Punt (they were up 21 with ~6 minutes to go and basically just killing clock here. It worked, they didn't gain much yardage but they managed to chew up four minutes so as to give the ball back to WF with just ~2 minutes left).  

Like you said, that doesn't give a lot of confidence.

Congrats to the Badgers!

Florida has gone from being a 3-point favorite to an 8.5-point underdog.

If you bet the Sooners at +3, maybe you should now bet the Gators at +8.5.

Yeah, these opt-outs are so funnnnnnn.  For me, I care less about winning the game and more interested in the preview of our pass-catchers for next year.  Xzavier Henderson, Rick Wells, and Zipperer are some names you'll hear more today than you have all year.

Hell, if Trask lights it up without his top 3 4 guys, hand him the Heisman.  OU's defense is really good, right?
On the other hand, don't be surprised if Emory Jones gets the most snaps at QB.

The little guy sprinting down the sideline waving a towel with every big OU play is cracking me up.

Okay, so Florida is missing:
top 4 pass catchers
2nd best D-lineman
MLB
starting S
starting CB


Yeah, if OU doesn't roll, nothing can help them.

We'd be doing okay if it was just backups playing, but we have dudes who haven't played at all in there.  Fun stuff.  Good job, OU.

Oklahoma is missing some key players also

At Oklahoma, senior cornerback Tre Brown chose not to play in the bowl game and will begin preparation for the NFL Draft. ... Their top three pass catchers — Kadarius Toney, Kyle Pitts and Trevon Grimes — all announced they would not participate in the game, as well as safety Shawn Davis and defensive back Marco Wilson.

missing key players has always been a part of the game

it's called an excuse, when a team doesn't win
