- Wisconsin offensive tackle throws teammate under the bus after loss
To say the Wisconsin Badgers' offense didn't look great against UCLA would be an understatement.
No team in the Big Ten should throw for only 66 yards in a game, but that's what happened to Luke Fickell's offense at the Rose Bowl.

Sure, Colton Joseph did a great job using his legs, but a dual-threat quarterback can only get you so far if he doesn't have what it takes to get the job done through the air.
Of course, this was one of the Badgers ' toughest tests of the season, and offensive tackle Kevin Heywood didn't hold back after the 17-7 loss .
"What it felt like, for the O-line specifically, was four guys doing the right thing and one guy doing the wrong thing," he said, according to On SI's Seamus Rohrer .
What was Heywood trying to say?
It should be noted this is a direct quote, and it wasn't taken out of context to try to build a narrative.

There's absolutely a scenario where Heywood said this to try to wake up one of his teammates on the offensive line, or it was a case where he was saying there seemed to be one mistake made on every play, no matter who it was making the mistake.
Regardless, this is an eye-opening quote to come out after the game, and it should be a wake-up call for this team as another ranked opponent , Southern Cal, comes to town in Week 8.
