Opening statement: Heck of a Big Ten battle, there’s no doubt about that. That was a huge challenge. Credit to Wisconsin, that’s an outstanding football team and I’ve got the utmost respect for Coach Chryst and his staff and his players. We knew it was going to be a heavyweight fight and that’s exactly what it was. Credit them, but our guys were ready to play. I thought they put together an outstanding week of preparation to get ready for the game and it carried over into the start. You know, as you looked at the first two games for Wisconsin and the way that they started against Illinois and Michigan made it really challenging.
