LB Tank Carder, TCU (6'2, 237) -- Who else got annoyed by Brent Musberger's metaphors whenever he made a tackle? I used to like Herbie too, but now I associate his cheerful banter with Musberger as a unified evil. Anyway, an immortal performance (no exaggeration; they'll show that pass break-up forever) from the junior linebacker. He was everywhere, chasing runs from the inside-out and cutting through traffic. I doubt he leaves early though.

S Tejay Johnson, TCU (6'0, 212) -- Had a lot of responsibility in the run game, considering Wisconsin was going to control the line of scrimmage. To that end he filled the box well, making some impressive tackles and showing proper pursuit angles. Coverage-wise, he was left alone against Kendricks for most of the game, and did more than a respectable job -- fluidity was there, he had decent ball skills, and forced throws in tight windows.
