Very impressed, very physical/disciplined. On Taylor’s long run they pulled the backside guard and tackle and they sealed the lane perfectly.
But people keep humping Wisconsin’s leg. Bizarre.

I'd rather go 7-5, and lose to Minnesota at home by 22, than have a pansy spread offense that can't pound the ball! Seriously, though, I do admire Wisconsin's run game year in and year out. It's old school, and it is usually impressive.
and having a strong running game are not mutually exclusive. Many teams do them both very well. Just not ND.
The fact that ND can't do it because of the design and play calling of the offenses architect, is what chaps many ND fans.
BTW, Wisconsin didn't win much last year because they're D sucked, ND rode theirs to 12 wins, just like 2012.
Teams can rush well and run a spread offense. That’s why I qualified “pansy” spread offense. My post was tongue-in-cheek . . . and the funny thing is that your response proved my point.
the tongue-in-cheek in your typing. My bad.
Just appreciating a team that does something very well, that ND can't do at all.

and more talent up front. Difference is how and what they are coached to do.
are all it takes to be a successful running team. Unfortunately for ND, those two things are way down on the list of importance in BK's offense.
12-0. Whenever Wisconsin has to pass they are horrible. They will lose sometime. They get their asses kicked even when they are supposedly good.
this kid for Wiscy looks like he might be an upgrade over previous Wiscy QB's. Then again, they are playing UM. .
As for 7-5 vs. 12-0, ND went 12-0 because of GREAT defense, same as 2012.
It wasn’t just about defense. Wisconsin’s wasn’t terrible anyway . . . not great, but S&P ranked #35.
