A team can win a game or two (Browns vs NE and NO by clicking on all cylinders and trickery) but you cannot win most of them and certainly not the big ones at the end of the year unless you win in the trenches. Wisconsin--offensive line supposedly among the best in the country grade in this game against TCU= "C-" They opened lots of holes but couldn't protect the QB at all. Ohio--offensive line grade vs Troy = "F-----" (not a four letter word but rather minuses) Wisconsin--Defensive line--poor tackling and never layed a glove on TCU QB--grade = D Ohio--Defensive line--never were in the same zip code of laying a glove on the QB--grade= "F" but no minuses. These games were similar in that both TCU and Troy hit slants and the difference was Troy's receivers went yard after short catches and Wisconsin better contained TCU. You could put Wisconsin's QB in the Bobcat backfield against Troy and he would have produced no marginal improvement over what our QB's produced because none would have had time to consider looking at a first receiver let alone a second who may have been open before they were peeling themselves off the ground. Kent and Troy won in the trenches (Kent only won the defensive trench but that was all they needed) Time to upgrade both lines and have them show up every play. Bring that pressure--hurried passes, batted down balls, helmets to the QB ribs and see how successfully the opposition moves it up the field and how many more pics and fumbles are recovered. No pressure and they move it when and how they'd like--like Troy.
