Kritik und Lob » Jake Hartbarger mishandled a snap at his 5-yard

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- They do football the old-fashioned way at Wisconsin. Remember huddles? Remember fullbacks? Old-fashioned might be too newfangled a descriptive for this offense.Archaic, head coach Paul Chryst said after his No. 11 Badgers humiliated No. 8 Michigan State 30-6 in both teams Big Ten Conference opener.The Badgers dont flip the ball to the official and run back to the line of scrimmage. They huddle until the 40-second clock has done half its work. They walk back to the line. Then they move the chains.In four games, their longest gain is 47 yards. They have one run of more than 35 yards. But they hold the ball for 37 minutes per game. They have 12 scoring drives of at least eight plays. In a fast-food world, the Badgers chew their opponents slowly before they swallow them.Its pretty straightforward, senior running back Corey Clement said. Theres not a lot of twists and turns in this offense. Defenses know what were going to do, and that makes it that much better when you can execute on a higher level.The truth is the Spartans played stingy defense Saturday. They held the Badgers to 317 total yards. What they didnt do was rattle redshirt freshman Alex Hornibrook. Making his first start on the road against the defending league champion, Hornibrook completed 16 of 26 passes for 195 yards with one touchdown and one interception.In the end, how the Michigan State defense played didnt matter because the Spartans offense and special teams proved generous to a fault. Wisconsin free safety Leo Musso returned a fumble by Michigan State tailback LJ Scott 66 yards for a touchdown. Spartans punter Jake Hartbarger mishandled a snap at his 5-yard line, and the Badgers needed one play to score a touchdown.But there was also the first of Michigan State quarterback?Tyler OConnors three interceptions, midway through the second quarter, which Badgers corner Sojourn Shelton returned 8 yards to the Spartans 28. The resulting touchdown drive describes the Wisconsin offense quite well. The Badgers went 28 yards in six plays and needed 2:40 to do so.By comparison, in No. 3 Louisvilles first three games, the Cardinals scored 19 of their 26 touchdowns in less time. Wisconsin might not quite be a team for leather helmets, but the Badgers, like No. 4 Michigan, their next opponent, and No. 7 Stanford, play a brand of football that would be recognizable to Bo Schembechler or John Mc
