A turnover on the first offensive series. In both of our losses we gave OSU and Minny a short field to start the game

No more pass plays inside the five. Both resulted in interceptions against Vandy and Minny.

Incomplete pass on 1st down - Run for short yardage on second down - Pass on third down where the defense stacks the box and blitzes. How about a screen on secong down, etc. Happened at least 5 or six times against Minny.

Giving up a big pass play late in the game

Turnovers

James putting the ball on the ground

Edit: Thought of one more. Don't want to see them carry out the Bull

It's happened a lot more than that, but I don't think we were inside the 5. I believe it was 2nd and 4 from the 8. I'd say no more pass plays on 2nd and 5 or less when inside the 10 yard line. And not over the middle.

Remember the INT in B1G Championship game against MSU too? That was a similar throw to TE over the middle.

The MSU pick was because of textbook targeting that wasn't called. I don't think it's fair to include that play with the others.

It is pretty damn crowded over the middle between the 5 yard line and even the back of the end zone. I would rather see a double move, break in and then back out towards the back corner of the endzone to get away from the safeties and linebackers

But Diaz was breaking open and HEck should have guaged that lbkr was not rushing and waited a half count for Diaz to clear

if you play great defense throughout the game don’t eff up on the last drive.

The problem on that last big pass was losing contain. someone from the right side of our DLine flushed their qb and almost tackled him but the two left side of the DLine guys either both rushed inside or got pushed inside which CANT happen, got to contain, but instead their qb rolled to his right and boom, then our Dbacks lost their contact

What I am hoping to see? Is a huge elephant stomp every time they have the ball and crush them into little tiny pieces… and keep pushing the peddle to the metal on all plays both offense and defense… **** WISCONSIN!
