Please give us some credit for coming back from 17 points down. What a win for Wisconsin and a great job by Fickell.

[u/imahobolin → u/ihsgrad]

yep to both de and offense

[u/stonedturkeyhamwich → u/ihsgrad]

Incredible the way they stayed locked in on defense after all the offense fuck-ups. I kept expecting them to fold and they just got stop after stop.

[u/PrawnStockton → u/[deleted]]

We won't be relevant again for a very long time

[u/Traditional_Frame418 → u/ihsgrad]

A rational and congratulatory take. Be careful, our fanbase might come after you.

[u/Mongoose151 → u/ihsgrad]

It feels weird after the last 4 years.

[u/whethervayne → u/ihsgrad]

I don't think being 17 down is that much. I've seen a team erase that in like one quarter.

[u/Substantial_Good9669 → u/whethervayne]

Being down 17 isn't that much, being down 17 in a tough road environment vs a team that was favored by 10 that you haven't beat in like a decade though?

Also hadn't beat them at Happy Valley since 2003. We've only played them there four times since but still a long ass time.

[u/spinnyride → u/whethervayne]

For most teams, yeah, but Wisconsin has always been a running based team and it’s way harder to come back from 14+ built that way. I honestly don’t know the last time Wisconsin has came back from a 15 or more point deficit to win a game, it’s probably been at least 20 years

[u/Pogball_so_hard → u/ihsgrad]

Saw the highlights, Wisconsin looks like they have some fight in them again and it’s a major win for Fickell to prove he can turn things around. 

[u/Unlucky_Safety_3045 → u/ihsgrad]

Yep, you guys outplayed us
