Buckeyes at Badgers - 10/28/23 - 6:00 - NBC

Closer than I expected it to be at half which is a positive I guess. Fickell is a coward for not going for it on 4th down though. Playing to keep the score close rather than to win the game

I’m an analytics guy, but analytics need to take in actual data from your team.

I was always OK with Chryst punting from the opponent 40 because our offense was terrible and the defense could make something happen.

There was also less than a 5% chance they score on that 4th and 1. They aren’t equipped to do it with a slow QB and especially no Allen. Probably aren’t winning this game either way but totally OK with the FG. Insanely high odds we are down 10-0 after going for it and might as well throw in the towel there as well.

Nah they had scored a TD if Locke makes a better throw or if Furtney could have held a block against a LB. Longo drew up some really nice stuff there so I'd have let him do it again. Odds are that was the best shot we are going to have to score a TD and we wasted it

It was the end of the half. The usual silver lining of failing in that situation is that you pin the other deep. That didn't apply there.

Failing would've been a massive momentum killer as well.

Not getting a TD was a massive momentum killer

It made a 2 score game a 1 score game. You take that in that situation.

No you don't

If you’ve watched this team the past ~3 years, even with completely different styles, scoring inside the 5 or 10 against a defense with a pulse is an absolute chore. They will have a better chance to score if they reach the 15 yard line again and hope a WR gets free. I’m being a bit facetious but nothing I’ve seen tells me that was going to work on 4th down.

[Mtsportsfan]

As someone mentioned earlier , why the hell are we in shot gun on the goaline ? Our center has displayed that he can't snap the ball with any speed which absolutely messes up everything !

No you don't

So its more likely the offense would score twice than once? I doubt there's any analytic that supports that

[PintSizedBox10]

Locke is him

LMAO. Less than 5%?

[TroyD92]

Badgers being a 2nd half team now is fun

[Ayt]

Locke is the real deal.

Yea 5% is exaggerating quite a bit. It was probably like 40/60 or so. I'm glad to be proven wrong that they marched down the field and scored a TD though. But I'd still have gone for it on the one, a lead would be real nice right now

I mean I was exaggerating/being facetious but what odds would you give a shotgun run with a dicey OL and Acker? Did we not watch the 4th and 1 Iowa play?

Game is most likely over by the end of the first quarter.

Make sure to follow me on Twitter for more great takes like this.

[TroyD92]

Literally couldn't pay me to drink a bud light lol

[Mtsportsfan]

Our linebackers are slow !

[TroyD92]

23 is also slow

[dogswithbeesintheirmouths]

23 is also slow

He has been burned multiple times tonight. He hesitated on that 3rd down play and didn't even get a hand on the running back.

[Mags FTW]

If you aren't going to turn around and look for the ball, at least put your arms up.

These are simple things here.

[TroyD92]

MHJ is special lol
