It was Bucky's bully ball at it's best. Run it down their throats, until they bunch up in the middle. Then when they are, run sweeps, and beat them on the outside. When they spread out across the field to cover both, throw the short to mid-range passes that can move the chains, or act as a solid run. Don't try to get it all at one time, do it one play at a time, consistently. Over 300 yard on the ground, and no one player getting 100. A team effort handling the ball.

On defense, the Badgers are either really good, or Michigan is really, really bad. The Badgers beat them up constantly. The only time they ended up scoring was when the Badgers were putting guys on the field who were getting some game time that nearly never comes. It was good, since it helps these subs feel like they're really part of it, not just guys needed for practice.

After two completely different types of games under their belt, the Badgers get to face unbeaten Northwestern, that's playing decent football. They need to play at least as well as they did in both these early games if they want to win. The purple people are nothing to sneeze at.
 
It was over after the 2nd pick by UW. Michigan is in complete disarray right now. UW has more depth at RB than we thought because the true Freshman from Jersey has all the makings of a really good back. Honestly, if the badgers can continue to stay balanced and distribute the ball as they did last night they'll be tough to beat.
 
Wolverines are in free fall. Badgers dominated them in every face to the game. As Mark said, of they stay balanced, they're gonna be on tough team to beat. Great win by the Badgers.

Do you think any chance Berger is limited to play 4 games to get a redshirt year or is any player despite the number of games they play this year allowed a extra season because of the shortened season?

No idea.... but he's too talented to sit. I think he plays in 4 for sure and then they go from there.

Doubt they use a RS. The RB group is about as average that has been at UW in years and the staff used Taylor and a true frosh. This also allows Groshek to play where he is most effective, a 3rd down / spot back
 
I think they'll sit Herbig, Dike, and Berger, enough to get them a red shirt year. The Badgers are getting additional troops back next week, all things equal, to allow it.

Hopefully they can sit them until the last two games of the season and a bowl game. Next year this could be an even more dynamic team, with extremely young talent. I gotta admit. I'm really psyched about their recruiting.
