Michigan 31 Wisconsin (10)....17 - Post Game Thread
Don't mess up your time zones if you want to watch the KO. Opens @ M -4, Home field +.
After we saw yesterday's debacle this is looking more and more like a loss. Wisconsin isn't that good but there's a theme floating around that McNamara may have been concussed in the first half targeting hit. He was undoubtedly checked out by medical staff and passed whatever they test for but nothing else explains his sudden accuracy issues except the whole team might have experienced the yips when Rutgers was making mince-meat out of the front 7, minus Ross, getting extended drives, hitting big passes. Along with that M couldn't sustain anything on O. I blame a lot of that on the coaches who weren't putting the players in the best positions to win. It seemed like in the 2nd half, after the first two possessions Gattisbaugh decided McNamara couldn't hit targets and ended that for him ....... there were just a lot of downs burned v. Rutgers that just didn't make any sense. Something was up with that.
ND showed that they couldn't run against them (looked like they knew that going in) and Wisconsin is vulnerable to the pass. That was Jack Coan at QB carving Wisky's D up. I'd wager a health McNamara or McCarthy is a better QB than Coan. I'm skeptical McNamara is 100% in the head - either mentally or he actually was concussed. McCarthy at QB? No idea. You can be damn sure that Haskins and Corum aren't going to get a lot of yards.
