CHICAGO — Attributing blame for the University of Wisconsin football team's blowout loss to Notre Dame on Saturday is difficult because there's a bevy of options from which to choose.
The top culprits are five offensive turnovers, poor special teams plays, including UW's first allowed kick return touchdown in 10 years, and an inability to extend drives.
There were smaller details that the Badgers (1-2) missed on repeatedly that led to the 41-13 defeat, the second-largest under coach Paul Chryst.
Here are four observations after rewatching UW-Notre Dame.
1. More motion, but still not enough
The Badgers used pre-snap motion on 18 of 72 tracked plays against the Irish, by far the most they have this season.
