It was a thrilling game, keeping fans on edge every second!

High scoring can be construed to mean lousy defense but anyone watching this game and thinking that way is totally wrong and totally unaware of the high offensive power of BOTH teams. Being in "denial" would be an appropriate description for anyone thinking otherwise.

Wisconsin was stopped in the "red zone" TWICE in this game while, in 41 previous red zone opportunities during the year, they were 100% successful. (41 for 41 = perfect) That is an amazing, unprecedented, record and an unbelievable defensive fete that Oregon's defense stopped them.....TWICE!

This was probably the best Rose Bowl game I have ever seen......and I've seen a LOT of them!

Congrats to both Wisconsin and OREGON on a game well played
