The end of the game was weird
The last 2:30 minutes were just weird. Wisconsin battled. You have to give the Badgers credit. They started with the game with their third quarterback, at least at the start of the season, and despite falling behind by 17 points, they still didn't quit.
Derrick Moore's sacked foiled the Badgers fourth-quarter scoring drive and forced them to settle for a field goal.
That trimmed the lead to 24-10. That's a long shot with three minutes left, but not impossible. Fickell attempted an onside kick, then sat on three timeouts as Michigan ran out the clock. It was strange to say the least.
Wisconsin could have stopped the clock outside the two minute warning and just decided not to. Then, in an ever weirder twist of events, Michigan started speeding up after a final first down. It could have taken a knee, but instead tried to run a play.
I'm not sure what the motivation could be. I doubt Michigan cares about covering the spread, but it's hard to explain what either team was doing at the end.
