Hurricanes, Badgers Both Concentrating On Stopping The Ground Game

There are similarities between the two teams in this afternoon’s 2018 Pinstripe Bowl in New York City.  Both Miami and Wisconsin had strong ground games this season to go with suspect passing attacks.  Sophomore Jonathan Taylor did the damage for the Badgers, while quarterbacks Alex Hornibrook and today’s (Thursday’s) bowl game starter Jack Coan were up-and-down.  Wisconsin had a hard time shutting down opposing runners, with Minnesota ripping the “D” for 201 yards and three touchdowns and Miami’s running game is good — to go with an inconsistent passing attack.  Linebacker Ryan Connelly is going to miss the action, making it harder to force Miami to use its passing attack to win the game.
