As I type this the news is coming out that Wisconsin has fired head coach Paul Chryst after Illinois took his Badger team to the woodshed on Saturday. While that seems like a rash move to me considering that Chryst was 9-4 last year and is 67-26 and 43-18 in the Big Ten in his 7 1/2 years in Madison, I have to say that as I'm re-watching the game all I can see are examples of Illinois looking like the better-coached team. Illinois is not more talented than Wisconsin, but they outworked and out-executed Wisconsin on Saturday and the difference between the two teams was especially stark in the second half as Wisconsin looked defeated in all three phases. Now to this game:
