Tampa, Fla. — Barry Alvarez, Wisconsin's full-time athletic director and two-time interim head coach, passed the baton to new head coach Paul Chryst in style Thursday.

UW entered the 2015 Outback Bowl a 61/2-point underdog against Southeastern Conference power Auburn.

Yet the Badgers erased the memories of an ugly 59-point loss in the Big Ten title game thanks to another remarkable performance from Melvin Gordon, a tying field goal in the final minute of regulation and the winner in overtime by freshman kicker Rafael Gaglianone, and finally a huge defensive stand.

Bama would always wear defenses down with their great running backs. Lane Kiffin has changed up Bama’s offense. Kiffin wants a passing offense. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Tonight it’s not working. Bama should go back to the power run and let Kiffin find another place to call home.

I really hate Urban Meyer now, but the guy can coach his butt off.

Not a problem, I just then grasped the reason.

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the misunderstanding which was based on often seeing comments (even here on Free Republic -- of all places) decrying the commercialization of sports. I support using sports as a means to acquaint consumers with products and services whether it be advertising on Little League outfield fences or the sponsor logos of NASCAR. It's great, IMHO, since it's the American way of free enterprise at work.

Does anyone know why Bama didn’t just run Henry over and over and keep Sims from passing? He was killing them and then they went to the pass???

I am a SEC fan and will pull for even Vandy. SEC was very weak this year. Over rated this year definitely.
