That was stupid for many reasons. Why step out of bounds, to save time for Wisconsin to score again?

So when does Wisconsin start running up the middle every play, like 25 times in a row? Some part of me wants to see that happen to someone else. The other part of me died inside for bringing it up :(

Why do coaches wait to unveil this stuff?

I can understand wanting to use these plays in a big game but Michigan normally doesn't "open up the playbook" on the big stage.

The runs up the middle against OSU is one classic example. So many times to count though in games that mattered, Michigan didn't have plays that were meant to throw off the opposition.

I saw at least 4 great plays that Wiscy ran that were an effective way to "run up the middle" without just handing off to the RB.  It can be done.
