Another pathetic loss. Not defeat, because for 3 quarters Wisconsin begged us to win this game. We refused to take the gift and continued to make stupid penalties and mental errors, along with calling wasted plays on offense that go nowhere and put us in continual third and longs. Our third down offense and defense is abysmal.
Not advocating for BB to go, but basically every other coaching position should be up for grabs immediately. Burn all our timeouts as Wisconsin is coming back to win the game? We don't know how to line up for a punt and lose 10 - 15 yards on a punt return? We have some success on both sides of the ball with blitzes and some good, solid run calls on offense? Next series let's go completely conservative and back the safety off 20 yards, and call some more delays up the gut or one yard pass behind the line of scrimmage. You're telling me the only receivers we have who can be in the game are IW and Washington? Sickening that this program is so allergic to success.
And to top it off, the target on Newton completely changed this game. I've seen much, much worse hits not called. The rule is bad, and enforcement is comically inconsistent. Your telling me Johnny deserves to miss half of the Minnesota game for that hit? There was clearly no intent there. He hit the guy and their helmets contacted each other. There were a couple of hits Luke took sliding down that were more malicious than that one. I'm almost done with college football. It's trash unless you're a fan of the perennial top 10. The B10 in particular is pathetically poor.
