We played the same gameplan we always play against them no matter where our strengths are and no matter where our mismatches are. Same result as usual this decade.
You were wrong the first time. Why post this again?
Oh, I don't know about that.
I pretty much spent the entire game wondering how we were still in the game.
Wisconsin ran the ball at will for most of the game. Not going to win many games when the opponent can get 5-6 yards per run play. And the opposing QB has all day to throw.
Game was lost on the lines, and our D-line couldn't handle their O-line.
Seriously, that game had no right being as close as it was.

Look at the box score. Each team had nearly identical total yards, each team had 19 first downs. Iowa was -3 on turnovers and Wisconsin scored on 2 of them. You literally have to be a mathematically challenged moron to not realize that turnovers were the only difference in this game.
That's because Ferentz & Co. only has one gameplan: ask the Magic 8-ball what it thinks about the plays in their playbook. After scrying all 6 plays, someone tells the boss over the headset which one had the best answer. In case anyone wondered what takes them so long to select their play. Sometimes it takes a little longer for the pyramid answer block to float up to the window.
If the game was played with identical line play 10 times, Wisconsin wins 9 out of 10. Those complaining about BF's playcalling should take a look at Wisconsin's. I guess they felt comfortable staying vanilla. 5-6 yards a pop running, QB getting all day to throw--the whole playbook was at their disposal.
The stats stayed close because they stayed vanilla. Still a bigger gap than most on here are wanting to admit. We never made them change anything the whole night. Whenever they did finally go to the passing game, it was easy.
No, the three turnovers had nothing to do with Iowa losing. Duh.............We gave them points, easy points and that is on the play calling? And were the ones who are clueless. LOL
It was turnovers.
This loss was on the turnovers.....speaking of clueless, Stanley was very good.
4 plays: sneak failed at the 5 yard line, groenewig fumble, Beyer turnover, Stanley sailing the ball over hockensons head on 3rd down with 6 minutes to go. Eliminate one of those follies and Iowa wins
2 fumbled punts. That's the difference. No way around it. Coaching was good enough to win, execution was not.
Iowa ran just as effectively as Wisconsin and were significantly more efficient in the passing game. Everything your saying about Wisconsin is true for Iowa running the ball effectively protecting the QB. The difference is that Wisconsin started a possession on Iowa's 10 yd line and they finished their drives .
We gifted them a touchdown with the one turnover. Without the special teams fumbles, we win .
Stanley's accuracy is a BIG issue thou . He gets on these streaks that last a quarter or more where He cant hit the broad side of a barn. 4th quarter by Stanley was terrible. Turnovers AND QB play in tight games late decide things most of the time and it did last night.
Our offense was much not the same game plan. We did a ton of presnap motion. We ran ghost sweep action and sweep action to hold linebackers. We threw consistently on second and third short plays, often resulting in big plays. We ran out of shotgun, we flexed out TEs, we ran counter actions, pin and pull sweeps. We did a lot.
My only complaint would be I would like to have seen us stick in Young’s belly on second down in the 4th quarter a little more.
Our turnovers gave Wisky a chance to win the game and win the game they did. They made the plays that championship teams make to win close games like last night. Iowa did not and that's the difference between a championship team like Wisconsin and a hard working, above average, non championship team like Iowa.
