[QUOTE="BZuppke, post: 1488778, member: 12358"] One analysis from the Badger board: “Illinois won the turnover battle. Illinois produced more yards per play rushing. After accounting for sacks, Illinois outrushed on an absolute basis on fewer carries. Illinois produced more yards per play passing. Illinois had fewer penalties, gave up no first downs on penalties and gained 3 themselves. Illinois scored TDs on three plays of longer than 25 yards. UW held the ball a long time, had a 3:2 advantage in offensive plays, but only scored 2 TD on 5 red zone trips. I thought the Badgers would win, right up until Brown ripped off the run that really set them up in good FG range, but that box score isn't a story of Badger dominance. Gross yards and TOP mean almost nothing if you don't finish your chances with touchdowns. It's almost always good to have a big advantage in total plays run (regardless of TOP), but that advantage usually presents in the fact that a difference in volume of plays usually translates into an advantage in terms of big plays. That that didn't happen. Illinois was more efficient with their offense. That's something of significance which fans of Badger basketball should appreciate. Big plays are usually king, and Illinois won the game with big plays on both sides of the ball.” [/QUOTE]
