WMU ran 30xs for 120 yards and Terrell had a QB rating of 48 and this was against basically a 4 man front, prevent defense. Lowest yards total by 125+ yards for the Bronco offense this year. You and I have different views of dominating.

Wisky averaged 4.8 on the ground, WMU averaged 4.0. I don't call that domination. And they threw for 21 more yards. That isn't dominating either, though 13 out of 14 is obviously very good. Edit: you were responding to MD, not me, sorry.

No worries. WMU absolutely gets the moral victory trophy and comes out of this looking great. But what I saw was a G5 pulling out all the stops(double reverse throw back, tackle lined up at wr, going for 2 4th downs, run blitzing exclusively on def) against a P5 who was just going through the motions. This game could have gotten real ugly but WMU has poise and made it look like an actual game when it really wasn't.

One ineffective trick play. For the most part, it was our typical gameplan. The O-Line played well and we had some solid rushes.

I didn't see the game in any way as a fluke, in fact I thought Wisconsin was fortunate to have caught WMU maybe a little dazed and confused to begin the game. WMU's o-line pushed around Wisconsin defensive line at times, you don't see that too often. WMU looked like a top level Big 10 team in that game.

Indeed. After UW jumped out to that early 14-0 lead, I did not expect Wisky to get in the endzone only once for the 2/3/4 quarters (and that was courtesy of a bad INT from our own endzone).

Wisconsin deserved to win and that 8 point margin was indicative of the game, imo. Sure, we got "lucky" in recovering our fumbles, but after we settled down after that early first quarter, the stats show an evenly matched game.

Great experience overall, just as you all experienced in the Orange.

Didn't you still get 6 yards out of the trick play?
