The Game That Made J.J Watt Famous! (#1 Ohio State vs. #18 Wisconsin 2010, October 16)

[@kgrace1985]

It’s always a good game when you hear “You are looking live”

[@tonygray8909]

It’s amazing the trajectory of Wisconsin’s two running backs. John Clay played 3 games, 2 of which he attempted 1 carry, while James White who was the second running back won three Superbowls, played in another and was arguably the MVP of the greatest comeback in Superbowl history

[@anthonymartinez3725]

Yea I always thought he should have been MVP, didn't he have like 3 or 4 touchdowns?

[@highlightcenter5651]

@@anthonymartinez3725 even Tom Brady gave him the mvp car or whatever the prize was. The same way he gave it to Malcom butler after the Seahawks Super Bowl

[@oledahammer8393]

He got robbed of MVP in that super bowl for sure. Without him, they do NOT win that game.

[@dugiscool5651]

If JJ woulda stayed just one more year the Badgers could’ve made a run for the Natty. They would’ve had not only JJ but they woulda had Russel Wilson with one of the greatest backfields in CFB History with Monte Ball, James White, and Melvin Gordon. Crazy.

[@ryanmarshall3487]

I’ve always thought about that. Especially considering the only losses Wisconsin took that season was by hail mary’s

[@rohunsaigal2576]

Nah that was the year LSU and Alabama had the two greatest defenses ever assembled

[@highlightcenter5651]

Wisconsin’s offense was the best in the country and would’ve been the perfect balance to LSU’s defense. Remember, LSU was #1 meaning (if things shook out the same way) it would’ve been LSU Wisconsin. Best offense vs best defense. Would’ve been an awesome natty

[@bibidybop]

They weren’t beating Bama in 2011.

[@sharpe52312]

I remember they lost to Michigan state on a Hail Mary and I couldn’t help thinking that Watt would have sacked Cousins

[@JayBigDadyCy]

This game is similar to 2021's Michigan game for the Buckeyes. They just got man-handled in the trenches. It's not the part of the game most people pay attention to, but it's often how big upsets happen. Look at Miami last week. middle Tennessee absolutely pummeled Miami on the line opening up huge plays.

[@unclecreepy4324]

Hopefully this year the game will be great and close makes it more exciting.

[@ronaldbargain4925]

Nah. U would’ve been right had y’all not cheated to win but this is actually a great coaching team unlike Michigan who had to illeagaly steal signs. Gonna be funny in a couple months when u can’t even say that bc the games from the last 3 years will be vacated

Watt was a man amongst boys, but Dane Sanzenbacher was freaking clutch that game, especially with all the hospital balls Pryor was throwing.

[@packersauburneric3625]

I remember when Pryor was called the LeBron James of high school recruits.... shame we never got to see him with a rich Rodriguez or gus malzahn type coach to see his ceiling as a college legend who had Vince Young ability

[@dttruman]

He didn't even turn into much of a TE as far as I know.

[@tw5139]

Yeah, not even close Vince Young could throw. Pryor threw like a woman with a prosthetic arm. Absolutely horrible throwing QB.

[@dttruman]

@@tw5139 He relied on his runny too much and everybody thought that was a growing trend like Cam Newton. But they always got injured even Tebow. Teaching big athletes to throw didn't turn out too well and the NFL went back to drafting QBs again.

[@nicolasthecaged]

All I remember is their last game. When a team outweighed by nearly 40 pounds per man came out victorious over the Badgers. I remember a certain LB for those Horned Frogs named Tank Carter who stole the show. Pretty sure he stood about 6’0 and weighed maybe 220 soaking wet. But I’m a biased fan of Texas football so there you have it.

[@danielblack9980]

Glad they fired Chryst. He was 0 for 5 against OSU, 0 for 3 against Penn State, and only .500 against Northwestern. He had just a 41% winning percentage against ranked teams and only 31% winning percentage against ranked teams since 2018. Not a good trend. Lost to unranked BYU at home when ranked 6th, lost to unranked Illinois when ranked 6th, lost to unranked Minnesota when ranked 14th and a birth to the B1G championship game on the line, and lost to unranked Wash St. at home when ranked 19th. He was 0 for 3 in B1G Championship games. In two of the B1G championship games had a double-digit halftime leads and still lost. He lost his only Rose Bowl appearance. Oh, and no players drafted in top 100 last year. The national media has vilified UW over this firing but it's simply lazy journalism running with a false narrative. Chryst easily could have and probably should have been fired after the effortless loss at Minnesota last season. Nobody with any real knowledge of this team was surprised.

I'm constantly wondering what's happened with his offense and play calling. There used to be so much more misdirection to go with the power, receivers were put into position to make plays, and the quarterbacks were on schedule and on target.
