Enough Gas in the Tank?

Although we have suffered some tough losses the last two weeks I think it showed a lot of promise for this hoosier program. Although this team could be 7-2 at this point I am not going to dwell too much on the what ifs. To outplay the number 4 team in the country for 3 quarters is still very impressive. My only worry about suffering those 2 tough losses the past few weeks is that I'm not sure how much gas we have left in the tank. I say that because Wisconsin runs a unique grind it out style of football. They have a big offensive line and a great running game. This seems to wear teams down late in games. It will be tough in my opinion to stop Clay late in the game and I hope that we will be able to grind out it with them for all 60 minutes. What surprised me last week against Iowa was how much resilience this team had to come back and compete so well against an undefeated Iowa team on the road. It will be nice to come back to Memorial Stadium but the past few years Wisconsin has had out number. Not only will this be a big week for the hoosier squad if we want to remain in the bowl picture but it will show a lot about this hoosier squad in how they bounce back. I hope this hoosier squad has a lot left in the tank and that we can bounce back after a few tough games and pull off the upset.
