Mich St 25, Wisconsin 24 (Final)

I'll probably never see another game where one team out rushes the other by 250 yards and still manages to lose.

I'd imagine it happens to Navy, Air Force, and Army a decent amount. Army runs the option, right?

Just once this year between the three schools. Army out-rushed Buffalo 320-41 and lost 27-24. The only other loss that was even close was Navy's loss to Ball State, where they out-rushed them 346-162.

Some other sick numbers:

AFA out-rushed SDSU 401-35 and Southern Utah 433-7.
Navy out-rushed SMU 404-(-13) and Towson 558-30.

MSU can still go to the Rose Bowl. If MSU and tOSU win out, and PSU's only loss is to MSU, Sparty wins the tie-breaker for the Rose Bowl because they didn't schedule any FCB (1-AA) opponents this year.

I'm not kidding. I looked up the tie-breaker in the Big Ten media guide. There's now a sticky thread in the main football forum about tOSU's BCS bowl possibilities.

Now I get why only two people can play rock-paper-scissors.

I'd also figure it happened to Minny under Mason at least a couple times. stpaulgopher was talking about rushing for almost five hundy against TSUN and still losing.

Not only did Wiscy outrush Sparty by 256 yards, they outrushed them by a ratio more than 11-to-1 (281 yards vs. 25 yards). You gain 11 times more yards rushing than your opponent and still lose, that's gotta be hard to swallow...

Bielema is probably pretty good at swallowing though.
