“You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” That’s a quote from Walt Disney that I think applies perfectly to Wisconsin football after its loss to BYU over the weekend.
It was clear, even after the blowouts over Western Kentucky and New Mexico, that Wisconsin wasn’t playing as well as it should have. Other teams ranked around the Badgers were rolling over their opponents with ease and the Badgers slow-played their own games to small leads early on.
Wisconsin doesn’t play the kind of football that will run up the score too well, but it’s also not surprising when it does.
