Cotton/Outback Bowl Thread (RTB!!)

Submitted by crg on

RTB!  Hopefully at least one team from Michigan will actually win their bowl game.  However, I expect WMU to score more than OSU did on Saturday.

Western played a pretty good game in this one. Their O line and rush game held up worlds better than a MAC team typically does against superior competition. And their defense gave up a ton of big plays but also forced three punts (same number of punts as WMU had) and kept Wisconsin from running away with it. The interception at their own goal line was a killer but after the 1st quarter Western was very much in the game. Look forward to seeing whether Fleck can keep them moving up or if they've already hit the ceiling. Also found this interesting:

WMU rush yds/carry vs. Wisconsin (QB removed, 23 carries): 4.8

UM rush yds/carry vs. Wisconsin (QB removed, 38 carries): 4.2

Also, if Penn State loses, do you think Wisconsin will end up being ranked ahead of 3 B1G teams that beat them in the final rankings?? How fucked up is that?

All told, I think WMU played a good game. They were lucky on those fumble recoveries...but that INT doomed them.

The clock management was really a head-scratcher. It's as if they didn't realize it was the 4th Quarter on that last drive.
