the game
We received the opening kickoff and came out looking sharp. B.J. Konrad gained 29 yards on 4 consecutive runs before our offense was stopped on downs at the Wisconsin 35 yard line.
Wisconsin immediately broke out their option offense and ran it to perfection. On their drive, at least 55 of the 65 yards came from the option, we simply couldn't stop it.
After we went 3 and out Wisconcsin quickly moved the ball into our red zone again. Showing an incredible amount of balls, and lack of respect for us, Wisconsin went for it on 4th and 5 from our 11 yard line. Their running back broke through the line and didn't stop until in the end zone. 14-0.
We'd at least keep it together for the rest of the half and go into the locker room down 17-0 at the half.
Wisconsin came out gunning on their opening drive of the second half, and an 80 yard drive seemed to put the game out of reach at 24-0. Things would really only get worse, and when the day was done we would be humiliated. Wisconsin even showed their disdain for us by running up the score. With 6 seconds remaining at our 4 yard line, rather than kneel on the ball they ran a play and scored another touchdown. We're simply not in the same class as this team and it showed.
Final Score: Wisconsin 45, Indiana 0

We have Purdue to end the season, and I feel our ranking is high enough to land us an at-large bid (hopefully). Wisconsin seems to be rolling towards a second consecutive title.
