I know seems like a big number at first, but this is a complete mismatch. Wisconsin should score at will. 4 touchdowns in the first half will come fast.
The Hoosiers rank 122nd in total defense (519.1 ypg), 109th in rushing defense (217.4 ypg) and 113th in scoring defense (37.4 ppg)
Indiana might never have the ball. These up-tempo, spread offenses are cute, and they occasionally put up impressive numbers in a hiccup, but there are problems – as Oregon showed against Stanford – when the O goes three-and-out in 14 seconds. Indiana’s defense is going to be completely and totally gassed midway through the second half because it’ll have been on the field all game long. Wisconsin is sixth in the nation in time of possession, holding on for close to 34 minutes per game, while IU is dead last keeping the ball for just 24:20 per outing. The Badgers can strike quickly, but they’ll go on long march after long march
