Title game will never garner a lot of attention until it's UM vs Ohio. Until then, it will be like tonight, half empty, and nobody interested outside of the Midwest.

It will never draw national attention until the teams are truly elite. Kind seems like UM and OSU are the only ones capable of getting there. But maybe MD can change that.

Bret Bielema nearly broke his face with his enthusiasm there, but in any event, Nebraska just  does not have an answer for Wisconsin loading the line and then enveloping most of the defense. It sort of looks like particle annihilation, but without the violent energy release. 35-10 Wisconsin.

...and wow, Martinez fumbles and Wisconsin gets it back. Taylor is left on the sidelines wondering what could have transpired and Pelini is undoubtedly wondering if the halftime speech doesn't involve "hold onto the damn ball".
