Those 3, plus 8 more. Been a rough year on the injury front for Big Red.

I'd totally forgot Baun was supposed to be a guy. 

This obviously is a fascinating match up.  Wisconsin has this tradition of playing way above their recruiting rankings but in the final equation not being able to offset the talent of an Ohio State kind of team.  That might change this year of course.

My "old tapes" say Ohio State wins this one, but I think that has a lot of Helmetosity involved.

For giggles, I'd love to see TCU and OSU both win.  I also don't think much of the OU QB.

I'd also enjoy seeing Wisconsin tee it up against a Clemson.

I think it changes this year
I think Bucky beats the Bucks - 24 to 21

I want to put this here in case it gets skimmed over in the stream thread:

1st off: Congrats to Wisconsin. Man I like that team, Fumagalli is the real deal. I like the coach, real classy in the post game interview. I think they are really good, just came up a couple plays short tonight. Wisconsin seems to be a quality program doing it the right way.

Not to get too OSU centric; but it looked like OSU had 3 big plays to get points, and had 3 horrible turnovers leading to 3 Badger scores. I don't think that's a recipe for continued success whoever they play in the bowl/playoff.  

corngrats to the Bucks

couple big plays in the passing game and got the RB going vs the Badger defense

shut down the Wisconsin RB and caused them to throw the ball 40 times

fingers crossed for a spot in the playoff, but not real hopeful

Last night boiled down to this, and the fact that UW couldn't run:

OSU 4 plays 96 yards, TD
OSU 4 plays 75 yards, TD
OSU 3 plays 82 yards, TD

1st	06:31	OSU - McLaurin, Terry 84 yd pass from Barrett, J.T. (Nuernberger, S. kick ) 4 plays, 96 yards, TOP 1:15	7	0
1st - 02:08	1st	02:08	WIS - Van Ginkel, A. 9 yd interception (Gaglianone, R. kick )	7	7
1st - 00:59	1st	00:59	OSU - Campbell, P. 57 yd pass from Barrett, J.T. (Nuernberger, S. kick ) 4 plays, 75 yards, TOP 1:09	14	7
2nd - 11:10	2nd	11:10	OSU - Barrett, J.T. 1 yd run (Nuernberger, S. kick ), 3 plays, 82 yards, TOP 1:05	21	7

That was the start of the game and UW just couldn't recover. Great effort to almost get there, but it fell just short.

With the speed they have coming in this next class and with several key players healthy (hopefully), they should be right back in the mix next season and over the next few years beyond.

I'm guessing they are going to lose a couple of coaches though. Gilmore and Tibesar are probably goners for promotions, and deservedly so.

Just finished a re-watch of the game. Man, both sides made a lot of mistakes. OSU took advantage more.

During the original watch I saw something on UW's last possession of the game. I'm wondering if anyone else saw it.

Watch from about the 40 minute mark of the video. There was a holding call on the UW LT that was flagged, but how in the world was that PI call not made? That would have offset the hold and resulted in a new 1st and 10 as opposed to 1st and 20. UW had the momentum going there too.

I saw some writers call this out but I wanted to see it again for me. Wow. Not sure what that official was looking at to keep the flag in his pocket. That could have been a game-changer.

So much for Big Jim having the fix in for UW. Heh.

Still, the hold cannot be dismissed. Huge mistake in a huge spot there.

Dieter (a great guard playing tackle) got abused all night.
