The truth is the better team today won

[DuffMan]

They didn't make as many mistakes on the field or on the sideline. The team that makes the fewest mistakes usually wins, and thats what happened today.

You can make all the reactionary threads you want tyring to throw blame around but the reality is we lost to a good team that out played us.

That all said if we win out we still probably go to the rose bowl.

Totally agree. The one thing I don't like about this coaching staff is that I think they emphasize not turning the ball over to the point that sometimes it is all we think about. As we saw today, Wisconsin made two major mistakes, an interception and a bad snap, whereas we made 8-10. I would gladly trade Tolzein's interception for our offsides on a kickoff, Prater's personal foul, and the botched field goal attempt.

If you are being aggressive on offense you probably are going to turn the ball over from time to time. If you do it on a downfield throw and it doesn't get returned for 6, you can survive-- which is exactly what Wisconsin demonstrated today.

That said, I was tearing my hair out with Ricky's pick-6s last year, so I'm really just mad we lost. What can you do?

The missed FG actually was +4 in our favor in the point column. It is doubtful we kick the FG and WI goes three and out inside the twenty and we score.

Don't worry, some d-bag will come on here infering that your a Wisconsin fan. I like realism.

Wisconsin is a legit top 15 football team. Bielema coached one of his best games today, and Iowa misses Norm Parker.

I am not willing to say the better team won today. Our hawks beat themselves. We would beat them 4 out of 5 times (unscientific methodology was used come up with this thesis!)
