We are watching a team throw everything out there and go for it

That wasn’tChryst. That was a team going out and playing lights out. Line looking great. D flying to ball. D gassed out and coan started missing throws. That stuff can happen outside of a coach. It’s sports. Not all upsets are driven by the coach

True....but Chryst put together a good gameplan. OSU just figured it out.
 

What a complete domination in the second half!! tOSU should maintain their #1 ranking in the CFP. Would be nice to see a BIG national champion...after a Gopher bowl victory.

What good gameplan? That he broke some tendencies and ran Coan? I mean shit that’s just being a competent coach. If he had the aces all up his sleeve, he would’ve realized he probably can’t get away with that all game. He looked like a moron on that 4th down call to end the game. It’s the joy of us being on the couch. Can say wow how great they competed for a half, or go with that they got beat 27-0 in the 2nd half. Just depends on if you like the coach or not

I think he’s a good coach, but you get credit when you are doing great like in the first half but also have to take heat when you get beat like this in the 2nd half.

Exactly right. Think he’s a good coach too. Has a great team too who played a great half. Just ran into a greater team and over the course of a game, most of time the greater team gets it together
 


Holy cow. Proctor totally lit up Coan to end the game.

They should, but I'm guessing LSU will be 1, since they had the "more impressive" win today.
They beat an SEC team and everyone knows that is hard to do. OSU just beat a BIG West Champion who had two losses and led at the half. Not as impressive, so the committee will put LSU 1 and say stupid crap like that.
 




Yeah, but not left wondering what if...
Took their shots. We’re wondering what if...

Their defense straight up hit the E hard in the second half. They were just out of gas.

OSU was running running plays where the entire Wisc line and linebackers were all pushed 5+ yards back from the line.

WI taking shots down field right away, going for it on fourth, electing to take the ball to start the game, not running out the clock to end the half.

Not sure how it will end of course, but we are watching a team that is out there to win the game with one heck of an aggressive game plan.

Oh what might have been....

And, they could not sustain it for 4 quarters. Ohio State still has better horses and pulled away in the end. Nice theory put to the test. The test result was negative to the theory. The theory holds no water in this instance. Try a different hypothesis.

How are those creative plays working in the second half? I particularly just enjoyed the QB keeper where he stood still and pretended that the ball had disappeared. But then there was the time where they punted so creatively as well.

Okay Buckyville fraud truth seeker, please just give it up and stop now. It is obvious you are trying to create some cover now and pretend you are not who you are.

I hope none of your elderly peer family members in wheelchairs or walkers got in front of you and the TV tonight or had too much sherry or brandy, or worse yet soiled the carpet. Drunks blocking my view of the TV, or worse, especially tall ones really make me angry too!

Did Wisconsin lose their two starting interior linebackers in the first half? One of them (Orr I think) too himself out trying to spear a downed Buckeye and ended up spearing his teammate.
The LOS really flipped at half time and Wisconsin was gassed in the 4th quarter for sure. Coan, Cephus and Taylor all had great first halves though.
Hopefully our o line in the offseason so Morgan can have time against the best teams in the conference.

Make sense no.
 


Sheesh, just browsing the Meltdown over on Buckeyville and they still have to find ways to throw PJ into their comments, it's pretty pathetic. Needless to say I'm glad to see them end the game with the L
 

It looked like a pretty big hit, just like any hit on a RB on a typical play in bounds at the sideline, and Coan was a RB at that point.
 

...and they get pummeled. Very little difference MN vs Ws.

Now its looking like the Badgers will be outscored in the second half by about 137 to 0. Don't really good coaches make positive changes at half time and add more creative plays? I thought that was the key to winning games? Or did they just "decide to play to lose instead of playing to win"? I never know exactly how these sure fire thumb nail strategies are supposed to work.

Chryst is the Andy Reid of college football. No sense of the overall picture of a team and a season. Live for now, oh shiite now sucks what do I do???
 


The venom and bitterness being spewed at a team that dominated MN is a true sign of a profound sense of inferiority that I thought was gone after a 10/2 MN season.
Old habits of feeling the little brother are hard to break.

Lol, you should’ve seen the weekly P.J. Elite-o-meter threads on buckyville. Talk about pathetic, but I’m guessing you feel those were perfectly appropriate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 

On occasion I do look at Buckyville and find the whole obsession that one of the posters has with PJ infantile and the meter childish.

What one stadium in the Big Ten would you be most afraid to take your nine year old daughter to a game in if she was not cheering for the home team? As one couple in Nebraska once asked me, "What is it about Badger fans?" Not all Badger fans are drunken idiots, but the best drunken idiots are many Badger fans. I do not know why.

Sure, but we weren’t aggressive or creative. Would have been nice.
Just compare our punt form Wisconsin’s 35 versus how Wisconsin has called the game tonight. Compare our prevent defense in the first half against Iowa versus Wisconsin.

Chryst game plan is to try to win a championship. We punted, in the biggest game in our lifetimes.

I disagree. We were aggressive. We had a lot of passing plays. But we were NOT creative, while UW certainly was. There was probably a very big reason for the lack of creativity. I'll repeat it again, because apparently people keep forgetting - the game, while only shortly into it - was fully under control to begin.

It was 7-0, and the Gophers were driving to take a two-score lead. It was 2nd-and-3 at the UW 35. And then our biggest, arguably best/most important offensive lineman went down with a broken leg. Given the lack of depth at the OL position, given Faalele's clear importance to the success of the offense, and given that against good, aggressive defenses, PJ and company liked to use 6 OL sets to control the line of scrimmage and protect Morgan, then why do so many Gopher fans dismiss the importance of this injury to the trajectory of the game?

In future years, we all should expect that we will have a lot more depth at all positions as PJ fills out the rosters. But in 2019, that is still not the case. And with DF out for the bowl game, I'm not sure how that bodes for our chances there. We need to remain realistic about what this team can and cannot do given some clear limitations of the roster. That has as much to do with the gameplan and the level of aggressiveness as anything.

P.S. One of those six OLmen, Dunlap, was out for the Iowa game.

The just rolled out their "drop the ball before punting" play.
Wished they used that one last week.

I noticed that the main play in Leonard's defensive scheme - that of the D-backs grabbing the jerseys of the receivers - got called several important times last night. I wonder what the trajectory of the game would have been the previous weekend had that been called.

One of the ironic twists of this game was that total d!ck Orr knocked himself silly trying to spear an OSU RB, and instead speared the head of his teammate and gave himself a concussion and hurt his teammate. Karma.

I have checked out Buckyville in the past. I equate it to the worst of twitter in a message board, but with users who don't yet know how to use a smart phone nor realized women can vote.

Yup. I still think the snow impacted how the refs were calling it (not believing the Goph receivers could make plays in those conditions without the clutching). Either that, or blind.
