You mean that's not just luck? :rolleyes:

Kudos to all the defensive coaches. Coach Joseph in particular has brought his unit an awful long ways, but it's a team defense with no real game-stopper.

Well, we did get some pub on espn this, early afternoon. :sarcastic:When they showed the schedule for next week's games, they referred to us as.....the Big 10 plays on Saturday, also.......after naming all the teams that play next Saturday. :stickouttongue: Yes, and we were last on the schedule showing. No surprise. :stirthepot:
 




When you consider that our overall pass rush isn't that great, #1 in pass defense is spectacular.
 
We are 73rd in rushing defense and Wisky is 23rd in rushing offense. This is they key to the game.....Stop Ball and win.

Yep. And it's not just stopping Ball, it's redirecting the 300 pound road graders in front of him.

This game will be a fight. Vegas has it at what, 2.5 points?

Congrats to those involved. Those are stats of a championship level defense.

Question, not bagging on anyone, I'm just curious with all of the experience on the defense why it took several games, to get to playing at a high level? You'd think with that much experience that they could be flying right out of the gate.

We lost NFL caliber talent at every level. David was a guy that is now dominating in the NFL, Crick is getting some decent playing time and is doing well, and Denard is becoming a very good corner in the NFL. That takes time to replace, and it takes guys time to get comfortable, confidence and the ability to react on the spot. This is no where near the same defense that we saw earlier in the year.
 
Keep in mind this is not a vintage great Wisconsin O-line...they have struggled most of the year...
