Watching Wisconsin play PSU. The Badgers' o-line looks much improved since NU played them.
And with our depleted D-line ...
No one has beat Wisconsin by more than 7 (that was in ot) all year long...could be because the way they play usually leads to close games but one has to figure the game next week will be close as well...we dont blow anyone out and they play a time consuming game that dictates lower close scores..underestimating them is a mistake, but then again thats what message boards are for people like us
IF and yes a big IF we play a clean turnover free game I think we win big....if not it will be close....
Their QB Phillips is not impressive at all when he has to make a play....if we can shutdown their ground game as we did in Lincoln we should win...
Their offense is not that hard to figure out....
Yup that is what they are for...![]()
agree if we dont turn it over (which we havent done yet this year so we are due) we will win by 10+ but we havent shown that we can play a clean game yet
Their OLine is tough. Our Linebackers better be ready. I think we need a big game from Rome. But with the emergence of Eric Martin lately, I hope we can break through. I dont care who they beat. Their only losses since us have been to 2 good teams in overtime. We could be sitting with 3 losses for our come from behind wins. I think the game will obviously be our defense against their offense. I think our D has stepped up a lot and we have the clear advantage on Offense. Keep a close eye on special teams too. I am more optimistic about this game than both the Texas and Oklahoma games. (previous championships...)
Neither team (UW or PSU) rushed the ball all that well so I think we can hold Wisky off. And Penn St ran it better that Wisky did
Wisconsin lost 5 games and is down to their 3rd strign QB....if we can't beat them then....well you get it...![]()
