Maybe the second half will tell a different story, but the box score and the first half video suggest that Wisconsin benefitted massively from a fortuitous fumble and a botched punt snap, leading to a deceptive final score.

Yeah I don't think this game can be taken as some validation of Wisconsin. Michigan State lost because O'Conner won't be getting the job done for them. Michigan should roll this weekend.

I don't know if we'll roll. Wisconsin's defense appears to be outstanding. They were #2 in the country last year and they appear to still be going strong. They still haven't given up more than 17 points this year. I think they'll stuff our rushing attack and will make Speight beat them. It's gonna be a slugfest.

Misguided is your knowledge of this great game and the return of Michigan football. The darkside I sense in you sucknut lover.

I didn't realize this until they mentioned it on WTKA, but Wisconsin in 2008 was the last time Michigan beat a top 10 team. It's time to beat the Badgers again!

Honestly, I don't think Wisconsin's offense was that big of a reason they won. They got 14 points off a fumble recovery and a botched punt recovery inside the five, and were outgained by MSU. They only ended up with 317 total yards, which is not impressive at all. The key is their defense, which held MSU to 6 points and 75 rushing yards with 4 turnovers.

Sparty will be amped up & playing lights out when they face us. They will not go easy into the night.
September 26th, 2016 at 7:05 PM ^
Dantonio is too good of a coach to not address all those holes. MSU, like us, gets better and addresses problems. That blueprint won't apply to Sparty as they will change by the team we see them.

MSU got about half of their yardage in the 4th quarter. I imagine Wisconsin was playing a softer defense and a more conservative offense by that point. While it worked, the score could have been more lopsided. MSU was outgained by a lot while the outcome was still in doubt.

After watching this game again (I was on the grill in between plays) I think it'll be something like 35-10 Michigan. Harbaugh has sooooo many weapons at this point.

Wisconsins offense is eh, I don't think they beat us by scoring 40, the worry is their defense and us not scoring enough.

5:54 MSU brings 3; steps up into pressure for a sack/no gain
6:13 MSU brings 3; underthrows hail mary? that gets to the 10 yard line from the 44. End of Half.
RECAP
Gets hurried/hit 3 times, and stepped up into pressure 2 other times
4 incomplete due to bad throws or decisions
1 incomplete due to nobody being open towards end of half
1 incomplete (INT) on Hail Mary?
Every other throw (11 total) were dead on (DO) to basically WIDE OPEN targets. 2 of these were under pressure and he took a big hit.
Wisconsin simply outcoached MSU this half (and game). To have a wide open receiver this often, and your QB only gets hit 4 times on passing plays (1 sack+fumble, 1 sack, 2 hits after throws) is domination over an opposing defense.
Wisconsin is a very well coached team, this QB made all the right reads, and made every throw he was asked to make.
I don't think he'll be as comfortable in the pocket against Michigan, nor will there be so many open targets to throw to.
His ball floated a bit, but maybe it's because there was no defender nearby to break up the pass...
September 26th, 2016 at 7:25 PM ^
The :20 and 1:45 were probably his best throws, due to him being under pressure when throwing.
September 27th, 2016 at 9:59 AM ^
good analysis, agree that Wisconsin outcoached MSU in this game.
September 26th, 2016 at 7:22 PM ^
that ends well. Wisconsin looks solid. Coming to town for this game. Can't wait...
September 26th, 2016 at 10:13 PM ^
Did you gusy notice they used a lot of 3WR 4 WR sets? They don't look like a pro offense team they userd to be anymore. Our back up CB better to be prepared for that.
