****Wisconsin Game Day Thread****

We can complain about the time management at the end of the game...AND WE SHOULD...but let's also not forget that Satterfield's offense failed to score any points for 45+ minutes of game time.

Satterfield needs to go.

 
Also, we have now lost a game every way. With the lead and then watched the other team march for a walkoff FG. Marching the field needing a td for the win and turning it over. And now playing it safe for overtime, getting there and then losing. Rhule has tried every option to win a one score game, we have lost all our top receivers, our top 3 running backs, most of our offensive line, and 2 of our 3 qbs to injury and yet there are only 2 games that we couldn't have won. Backups are getting valuable playing time, setting us up for success in the future. I think with Chubba we win at Iowa. Also, my kind has not changed. Sat needs to go.

You shouldn't be scared to win. I'll take a turnover on trying to win over backing into OT showing no confidence in your players ANY DAY! You gotta learn how to win sometime. This crap isn't cutting it.

You actually have a point here, however nobody was asking them to call high risk plays. They were asking to keep 15-20 additional secs on the clock. That gives you 2 plays, which don’t have to be aggressive. You can want better clock management and moderate to low risk plays at the same time. The worst choice is to lose your options by losing 15 seconds on 3rd down.

I feel Johnson could do better if given more snaps. Maybe it’s just coaches today in general but it seems we don’t believe in running backs getting into a groove and rotate every 2 plays.

You could be right. Our running game doesn't give our guys much of a chance. They start from way back and fight to get back to the line most of the time. I don't think these modern coaches know anything about running.

I can't emphasize this enough.  His offenses have never ranked very high.  Rattler is much improved this season (new OC, scheme, language etc....).  Live in SC.  Have Gamecock family/friends.  They were ecstatic he was hired away.  Dude sucks.  Plain and simple.

 
It sucks that we didn't try harder in regulation to win.  We didn't have to take major chances, but we had time for at least a few more plays with proper time management.   It also sucks that our D had 3rd and long twice in OT and gave up big plays. We have to be the worst team in OT over the last decade.

There is actually a huge difference in the situations though.  Last week you are playing at home and tied.  Today trailing on the road.  Entirely different cases.  And most coaches at all levels will echo play for the win on the road, overtime at home.
