EAST LANSING, Mich. -- They do football the old-fashioned way at Wisconsin. Remember huddles? Remember fullbacks? Old-fashioned might be too newfangled a descriptive for this offense.Archaic, head coach Paul Chryst said after his No. 11 Badgers humiliated No. 8 Michigan State 30-6 in both teams Big Ten Conference opener.The Badgers dont flip the ball to the official and run back to the line of scrimmage. They huddle until the 40-second clock has done half its work. They walk back to the line. Then they move the chains.In four games, their longest gain is 47 yards. They have one run of more than 35 yards. But they hold the ball for 37 minutes per game. They have 12 scoring drives of at least eight plays. In a fast-food world, the Badgers chew their opponents slowly before they swallow them.Its pretty straightforward, senior running back Corey Clement said. Theres not a lot of twists and turns in this offense. Defenses know what were going to do, and that makes it that much better when you can execute on a higher level.The truth is the Spartans played stingy defense Saturday. They held the Badgers to 317 total yards. What they didnt do was rattle redshirt freshman Alex Hornibrook. Making his first start on the road against the defending league champion, Hornibrook completed 16 of 26 passes for 195 yards with one touchdown and one interception.In the end, how the Michigan State defense played didnt matter because the Spartans offense and special teams proved generous to a fault. Wisconsin free safety Leo Musso returned a fumble by Michigan State tailback LJ Scott 66 yards for a touchdown. Spartans punter Jake Hartbarger mishandled a snap at his 5-yard line, and the Badgers needed one play to score a touchdown.But there was also the first of Michigan State quarterback?Tyler OConnors three interceptions, midway through the second quarter, which Badgers corner Sojourn Shelton returned 8 yards to the Spartans 28. The resulting touchdown drive describes the Wisconsin offense quite well. The Badgers went 28 yards in six plays and needed 2:40 to do so.By comparison, in No. 3 Louisvilles first three games, the Cardinals scored 19 of their 26 touchdowns in less time. Wisconsin might not quite be a team for leather helmets, but the Badgers, like No. 4 Michigan, their next opponent, and No. 7 Stanford, play a brand of football that would be recognizable to Bo Schembechler or John McKay or any other time traveler with a whistle around his neck.Wisconsin junior wide receiver Jazz Peavy grew up watching Wisconsin football. The school is the only place he ever wanted to play. He understands the appeal of the hurry-up spread offense.Its very fun to watch, exciting to watch, Peavy said. Those are teams that go, go, go, always pass, pass, pass. Its always exciting. But I love what I do here. This has got to be exciting to watch. Hard-nosed football, get your hands in the ground and go to work.Enjoyable, yes. Exciting? If you say so, Jazz. The truth is, grinding it out is as much a part of the Wisconsin identity as cheese curds and the bubbler (what the rest of us call a water fountain). When Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez resurrected the Badgers program from the dead in 1990, he said, Our hearts and minds will come from Wisconsin, but our hands and feet better come from somewhere else.Thats why the Badgers dont spread the field.Where are we going to get skilled guys to do that? Alvarez asked Saturday. We can get big linemen. Thats what we can get. So you gotta start with the running game. Youre going down to Florida and all these places, youre getting seconds. Ill tell you, if [the spread is] what you run, and youve got to prepare to play us, its hard. How do you prepare? Because [were] so physical.The Badgers find guys such as junior left tackle Ryan Ramczyk, who went to a technical college for one season, played two years at Division III Wisconsin-Stevens Point and, after a redshirt season, is protecting his quarterbacks blind side.I think it fits the players that we get, said Chryst, who coached eight seasons for Alvarez and Bret Bielema in Madison. I suppose once you get going, you look for those players. But it fits Wisconsin. Theres a formula, and it isnt the only one. But it does fit Wisconsin.This game had been billed as the first portion of a five-game marathon. Wisconsin plays at fourth-ranked Michigan next week and then, after a week off, plays No. 2 Ohio State, at Iowa and No. 20 Nebraska. Realists who predicted the Badgers would go 2-3 are changing their predictions. Suddenly, Wisconsins future doesnt look as ominous as what Michigan State is facing.Since taking a 36-7 lead in the third quarter last week at Notre Dame, the Spartans have been outscored 51-6. If you ignore the season-opening victory over FCS Furman, Michigan States game before that was the 38-0 playoff semifinal loss to Alabama last season.Wisconsin might be archaic, but the Badgers just made the Big Ten race a lot more interesting.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Mike Daniels angry voice could be heard from a far-off corner of the Packers locker room in the bitter minutes following a disheartening loss to Indianapolis.A .500 record doesnt cut it in Green Bay, not for a team with perennial Super Bowl aspirations.On Monday, after the Packers (4-4) dissected their 31-26 defeat to the Colts, Daniels spoke with intensity that matched his no holds barred-style of play.Nobody in this locker room should go home and have a good nights rest tonight or for the rest of this week. Thats flat out, Daniels said when asked about if the Packers can turn things around. The barrel-chested defensive tackle agreed with teammate Julius Peppers assessment that it can be done.I feel like we have people in this locker room, this whole locker room, that nobodys going to be getting any good sleep tonight, Daniels said.Green Bay is at .500 after eight games for the first time since 2009. That year, the Packers finished 7-1 to make the playoffs as an NFC wild card.This season, the Packers must play five of their last eight games on the road, starting with three straight trips in a stretch that could define their season. Green Bay goes to Tennessee next weekend, followed by night games at Washington and Philadelphia.The Packers have had injuries hit primarily two positions this season: running back and cornerback. The injuries at running back, in particular, have forced the Packers to make major adjustments. Regardless of depth concerns, the Packers are looking to get off to better starts. Theyre also looking for more consistency.Green Bay allowed a 99-yard touchdown return on the opening kickoff to Jordan Todman, a jolt that left the Packers playing catch-up the rest of the day.It wasnt until the fourth quarter that the Packers regained momentum with two quick touchdowns to cut into an 18-point deficit with 9:35 left.But Green Bay came up short. A few players, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers, spoke about a lack of energy earlier in the game.We didnt play with enough juice tonight, especially in that first half, right tackle Bryan Bulaga said after the game. Weve got to find a way to right it, come in (Monday) clean it up, and keep working at it and getting better.ddddddddddddThe Packers werent as sharp as coach Mike McCarthy would like them to be when the going gets rough. In some situations, that might mean playing with a little more speed; in others, it could mean getting a little more physical.Whatever the root of the issues, the Packers must fix the problems quickly. Leadership is not one of them.I tell you what, you know I think our players did a good job of leadership, McCarthy said. There (are) a lot of things thats said in the locker room, particularly at halftime, particularly after the game. A big focus of my message was about energy.The team, McCarthy said, played with a lot of energy, but we were not clean in a number of different situations and (Indianapolis) took advantage of it.The good news for Green Bay is that no team has pulled away in the NFC North. Minnesota (5-3) remains in first but has lost three straight.Detroit (5-4) is surging with four wins in their last five games, though there are questions are about whether the Lions are a true playoff contender. Chicago (2-6) is in last, but both their wins have come against division opponents.Daniels hopes the anger and frustration of a second straight close loss becomes evident in how the Packers respond against Tennessee.Its got to be a violent one. It has to be noticeable, like this team is angry, Daniels said. Thats what its got to be when you step on to that field. It has to be noticeable, and if its not then were not getting it done.Game notes LB Clay Matthews (hamstring) missed a second straight game after suffering a setback on Friday, McCarthy said. ... RB James Starks (knee) had a good week of limited practice and could be in line for more work this week, according to the coach. ... The Packers signed rookie FB Joe Kerridge from their practice squad on Monday and released S Jermaine Whitehead.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
