Badgers: UM’s bad showing still goodCoach impressed by running game

What looked like Michigan’s worst game this year was really its best, according to Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema.
Speaking during the Big Ten’s weekly coaches teleconference yesterday, Bielema said the Wolverines’ top performance was what looked to the commoner like a sloppy, six-turnover 35-17 loss to Notre Dame on Sept. 13.
“Maybe from a general fan or sportswriter standpoint you look more at the bottom line result, and obviously it was a loss,” said Bielema, whose ninth-ranked Badgers will be in Ann Arbor to play UM in both teams’ conference opener Saturday.
“But if you saw what they did from an offensive standpoint, the way they ran the football,” he continued, “I really thought their line play was the best that it had been, and I know they’ve gotten healthier.”
