Still want to keep Diaco?

Guess what? Wisconsin has a great football team and will probably be undefeated during the regular season. Get over it.

Anger is the hillbilly solution to all problems. It actually doesn't work in real life.

I don't know, I think we were pretty angry at Japan in WW2.  You can get off your damn high horse whenever you see fit, fella.  Nobody here is impressed by you.  Love how you bark orders, then talk down to people.  Lucky you didn't choke on that silver spoon when you were little, bub.

 
I lost most of my faith in Diaco as soon as I saw how often we were lining up our corners ten yards back.

 
If the guys can't like up and hold their own on a "man to man" basis, then bring more help. It was obvious we couldn't stopwhat they were doing best with our base scheme, so at least try something different to make them adapt. 

Their QB is just average. At least try to make him have to make plays to win. Try loading the box and at least force some long yardage situations. 

And maybe they did and that didn't work either.

Our lack of linebacker talent makes that very difficult.  You're inviting the kind of runs they had prior to halftime with that scenario.

 
I have never liked the 3-4 defense and have nothing this year to make me change my mind.  Diaco has the playing better but not good enough.  Their fundamentals are lacking resulting in too many missed tackles and far too many yards after contact.  Diaco could only make this defense reasonably goo with three linemen like Suh.  As long as the CBs play soft, we won't win against good teams.

The offensive line is not nearly as good as it needs to be for a winning season.  They are susceptible to short passes and runs from the guards out. Lee does well when not being pressured which is not often.  We have good runners but not good blocking.  Some of the play calls end our drives.  This season is essentially over before mid season.

 
You serious?

This is NOT a Defense problem. 

We were in this game in the 4th quarter DESPITE an offense that scored 10 whole points and gave 7 back.

Wisconsin's offense ran 6 more plays than our offense did. 6 MORE PLAYS... but they had over 13 more minutes of time of possession. That TOP isn't all on our D.

Our D is undersized and was worn down and the Offense gave them almost zero help and once again put them in an instant hole to start the game.

 
I could be wrong here; but it seemed like our D-line was running 2-gap a lot of the time.... The problem w/ this is that they essentially allowed Wisc. to pull two lineman and outnumber our guys to either side. This killed us in the 2nd half.
