After Gordon's big run to start the 3rd quarter, they had 32 yards on 13 carries to finish the game

Defense is much improved. Wisconsin has a great running game. LSU defense took over in the 2nd half. Last year, this game would have been a high scoring back and forth game cause our defense couldn't stop anything last year, especially in the first half of the season.

Why? It is true. We stuffed Gordon twice and they sidelined him. If you think this is LSU "shutting it down" then I don't know what to tell you. Seems like UW got away from their gameplan, and started playing to our strengths, instead.
But see it however you want to see it. P&G glasses, and all that. I already said I give credit to LSU for stopping Gordon. Just figured we'd have to do it more than twice. Thanks to Gary Anderson for the assist on that score.

This is patently wrong. Another poster covered this best so I'll quote him here:
quote:
He got the first carry of the half and went for 63 yards. Then he got a 4 yarder and a 3 yarder. That's it before we took the lead. So to repeat, Gordon gets 2 carries between them going up 24-7 and us taking the lead 28-24.
We never really stopped their running game. Fortunately, their coaches did that for us.
