This is what the inevitable result would be with a Bohl-coached football team playing at it's maximum peak. Avoid playing conference powerhouses in the regular season(OSU/Michigan), then when faced against one of those teams in a championship game, hope a solid defense can manage the damage into only a 26-0 result. Majority of UW fans would accept this.
The Craig Bohl philosophy requires a solid defense, a clock control, running-based offense, plus fortuitous breaks that allow you to outlast opponents--if you can avoid more prolific offenses. Get yourself in position to win something, and hope those breaks + a solid defense can make luck happen (Appalachian St.). But reality eventually happens. UW under Bohl will never have an offense that scares opponents. Iowa has survived doing this for a number of years, which is why Ferentz is still around. UW and it's fans look admirably on this, and it would be interesting to gauge the Hawkeye fan base to see how satisfied they are...
