This is extremely surprising, I thought Nebraska would win a somewhat close game. I am thuroughly impressed by Wisconsin, if they play like this in the Rose Bowl they will do just fine against Stanford.

As for Nebraska, shameful performance. They started the second half the same way they played most of the first, with no emotion.

On another note: FOX is doing a helluva job trying not to show the empty upper deck at Lucas Oil. I think the B1G should consider making the CCG a home game for the higher ranked participant, like the Pac-12 does.

Of course as I talk about Nebraska having no emotion, Bell makes an Earth-shattering block on a Badger defender.

The refs hosed Bell with a b.s. personal foul for hitting a "defenseless player." That was a great football play, no more, no less.

Isn't Pelini supposed to know a thing or two about defense?

How big of a blow out would this game be if we were playing in it instead of Wisconsin?

Given that Wisconsin took OSU to overtime, I bet it would be similar.

Nebraska just isn't very good. The refs basically gave them the game against MSU, they also probably should have lost to PSU given that awful official review. They beat Michigan's 3rd string QB, and lost to OSU by 25. They probably should have had 5 losses this year.

This. ^^^^^^^

Nebraska this year is the definition of a fraudulent team. Everyone forgot about their game against Ohio State pretty damn quick. Turns out it was no fluke.

And to think Pelini was our fall-back plan if Meyer had declined. (Shudder.)

I love this game going to make alot money tonight.

Much like the Spurs, they left the defense at home.

Too much husking of the corn.

This could be a preview of next year's B1G title game, too (inserting OSU for the stinking Badgers obviously) since we wont play Nebraska during the regular season. Thats if they beat TTUN and if they dont axe Pelini and send that program into the toilet. Hell it's almost there now. they havent been the same since Osborne retired.

I bet if you ask any Nebraksa fan, they will take this type of season over what Callahan gave them.

This game is a blood bath. I'm a little suprised Wisconsin still allowed a RB that already has 3tds pile on another late in the 4th. I'm glad Nebraska didn't do anything to further embarrass the Bigten.

given their history in recent seasons of running it up in games, how does this surprise you?

All the games of the season are just practices for that glorious saturday in November when we get to jack Shoelace's invisible cereal bowl and drink our fill of delicious skunkweasel tears ...Michigan Still Sucks!!

Nebraska doesn't match up well with physical teams.

bigbadbuck on 2 Dec 2012 - 12:51am #

538 rushing yards by Wisconsin.........wow. just WOW!

Battles are sometimes won by generals; wars are nearly always won by sergeants and privates. Football is no different, the guys down in the trenches win the games, not the coach.

I'm not much of an analyst, but, from what I saw, they sucked.

Gotta love that Blackshirt D. I think Nebraska firing Frank Solich is the equivilent of Notre Dame Firing Lou Holtz. Cursed for years.

Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.

I mean our Buckeyes put 63 up on them. Nebraska probably would've lost to TSUN if Denard didn't get hurt, or even if Gardner was ready to step in when Denard got hurt. It's probably not as much of a surprise as it seems. Wisconsin's 1950 offense works pretty well on teams that can't stop the run, like Indiana and Nebraska.

Class of 2010.

No surprise. Any team with a good rushing attack has made Nebraska's D look silly.

"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.

They could not even line up correctly to start the game. Very embarassing for Bo. It killed him to sit for that press conference.

The Huskers served one purpose and one purpose only in 2012: don't allow the Michigan Wolverines to win the Legends Division and have a shot at a B1G title without Ohio State waiting for them in Indianapolis. Mission accomplished.

Now go take that BCS ass beatin', Bert.
