This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Actually Wisconsin is balanced by HTownND
They skew to the run, but a lot of that is because they are salting clock at the end of the game.
The last time they played for the Big N championship (losing to Urban and OSU in a damn good game)
238 yards passing on 41 attempts
60 yards rushing on 32 attempts
Following that, in the Orange Bowl against Miami (a game they won)
258 yards passing on 34 attempts
142 yards rushing on 44 attempts
Wisconsin is a ground based offense that can throw if they have to/need to, but at their core, they are a running team.
When they are winning the game, they tend to run more, because they are chewing up clock, but it's not totally accurate to say Wisconsin isn't balanced.
Hornibrook, when they went 13-1 in 2017, threw for over 2600 yards on over 300 attempts.
