"They definitely heard from me," he said. The energy was up."īenton added that thus far his teammates have responded to being called out. "We're better than that, we're Wisconsin. "He kind of came in like this isn't gonna happen (again)," said junior outside linebacker Nick Herbig, who tallied 1.5 sacks last Saturday. Just kinda locked in and focused."īenton again addressed the entire team again on Monday. "I don't think it's as bad as a loss of life. We're catching our breath, talking about we can do to have some more success going forward. "As an o-line, we're meeting during that third quarter break. "It was more, we were focused, locked in on what we were trying to get done," said Tippmann. Junior center Joe Tippmann, who had a pair of holding calls that wiped out first down and double-digit yardage runs by sophomore tailback Braelon Allen, said his unit wasn't lacking energy, but simply maintaining a quiet focus during a contested ball game. I feel like - at a point it was just like we've given up. In all the years I've been playing here, I've never seen something like that. "That's not the character of the 'W' we wear on our chest. I'm trying to get some passion in their heads and we still didn't come away with a win." "And I said, 'You know what, let me go talk to this o-line, they're looking a little dead, they're not talking to each other, they're jumping offsides. It made me mad, I'm trying to get everyone going and people are looking at me like I'm crazy," said Benton, a four-year starter on the defensive line. The offensive line had also committed four penalties to that point and would commit two more in the final period.īenton said he wasn't pleased by the response he got either. Through three quarters, UW had run for just 129 yards. "Losing makes me mad, but things we could have controlled, we didn't."īenton, who had 1.0 tackle against the Cougars, also went over to a struggling offensive line during the timeout. This is our thing and they're having more fun than us out there. It kind of pissed me off that even though we're down by three, 'Jump Around,' we're not jumping around. "When we got down by three, I felt like we lost our energy," Benton told reporters on Monday. Trailing 17-14 going into the fourth quarter and attempting a game-tying field goal, Benton didn't see the usual spark on his sideline. It's not just that Wisconsin (1-1) fell as 17-point favorites at home, but the senior nose tackle sensed a lack of fight from his team. Keeanu Benton was not a happy camper during Saturday's stunning 17-14 loss to Washington State (2-0).
