Wisconsin 24, Iowa 21 (final)
Good game - 17-14 Wisconsin in 3rd quarter, with Wisky just coughing it up.

How come nobody has figured out that Iowa will always run PA to the FB Busch at the goal-line? They do that every damn week.
Not looking forward to covering Beckum for the next couple years.

Wow, a 3 point win over a 6-5 team...how impressive. Anyone who thinks Wisconsin is a top 10 team is kidding themselves after watching that.

Oh stop it. Wisconsin won on the road in spite of shooting themselves in the foot continually. We had a fumble when that was the last thing you should do and it negated a 1st down, and also another fumble in the 2nd half that negated at least a field goal if not a touchdown. There were numerous holding penalties, false starts, bogus p.i.'s or no p.i. calls, etc. Wisconsin was up against it, as well as the fact that Wisconsin hadn't beaten Iowa in about 5 games, and they still prevailed. Wisconsin was also without their starting QB and starting CB, and they picked on the backup QB. How would you guys have done at Iowa without Smith and Jenkins? Probably a close win as well. Wisconsin is absolutely a top 10 caliber team and will prove that when they hammer Tennessee or whatever SEC team in the Cap One Bowl just like last year. It will be a travesty that they aren't in a BCS game. Wisconsin should be favorites in the big ten next year unless all the players from tOSU and Michigan, eligible for the pros, decide not to go.

Wisconsin/Iowa is a HUGE rivalry game for those teams.... and don't forget that Stocco wasn't playing for the first time in 35 games so Wisconsin had to rely on their back-up QB who doesn't have that much experiance... big win for Wisky on the road.

Agreed. The fact that OSU, scUM, and Wisky can basically run the table against the rest shows how horrible the Big 10 is this year. |
