I am taking so much pleasure in watching positive run plays I feel guilty. Thanks a lot, catholic upbringing.

Wisconsin v. Indiana... 51-3. That's how a REAL team plays, not down to the competition.

What makes you think we were playing down? Maybe Indiana was playing down to us.

Is the time for PA. First you have to establish your negative running gane.

That one is on Al, completely predictable playcall. How many times have they run that exact play from that look? Not going to fool anybody at this point.

I was about to say the same thing. Hopefully the D can start getting off the field on 3rd down with greater frequency.

We must be one of the worst 3rd down teams in the country - offensive and defensive.

I think we'll go with a first down inverted veer.

2nd down reverse for negative yardage.

3rd and 15 sack.

I still think devin has a lower body injury. Just doesn't have that burst like he did earlier in the year.
