Fan apathy is at an all-time high after the Wisconsin loss to Alabama. However, there's something happening on the offense that could save the season and will matter more and more in Big Ten play. It's that Wisconsin is humming at a 50% third-down conversion rate through three games.
Jeff Grimes knows how to dial up a third-down play call and find success in making those conversions, which is the secret sauce to winning many football games. Even Alabama couldn't slow that down. The game got away from the Badgers in other ways, but not in third-down conversions.
