I thought they got jobbed too, but the replay showed the WM QB's knee was clearly down before the ball broke the plane.Uncle Barry must be lurking. I swear that Western Michigan QB scored a TD on that sneak but ‘they’ said he was just short. 4th Down and ‘they’ took an awful long time to rule a Western Michigan TD. That Uncle Barry is one sneaky fella!
It has that feeling.Western Michigan 14, Badgers 13 start of 4th
Hope we show up tomorrow looking ready.I haven’t seen many teams look good in these early games. Everyone looks so sloppy.
Great fake FG for WMU tho
Ya - that was bad.Ugh - Broncos force a punt and then make a special teams blunder.
Their defense is good, bowed up pretty well at times.Damn Wisconsin looks soft. Might want to change that mascot to a beaver.
I think they are going to look pretty bad when they play Alabama given what I saw tonight.Their defense is good, bowed up pretty well at times.
Their offense is average at best and Melusi and Pauling is all they have.
They also got extremely lucky several times in this game.
Wisconsin looks Scott Frost bad.
I'd love to see them get shut out. Air Raid Wisconsin was the dumbest change ever. I'm not complaining though. 🤣Bama is going to boat race them.
Anytime Wisconsin loses in any sport it’s a good thing. A very pompous and rude fan base. They are a mix of Big-12…Colorado drunk fanbase, K-State little brother that hasn’t won the Big Games, Texas thorn in our side, Missouri backwardness. Their teams play dirty. Same team colors as us makes me hate them even more!Bama is going to boat race them.
Betting against the B1G has been a nice little money maker for me so far.b1g really flexing its muscle early
Hold on, that was supposed to be air raid? Might as well have Zac Lee back there.Watching Air Raid Wisconsin is Nebraska Bill Callahan deja vu.

They bought into the lie that they needed to be better at passing than running to get to the next rung on the ladder.Watching Air Raid Wisconsin is Nebraska Bill Callahan deja vu.

I do not understand Wisc's logic in hiring a coach who loves the spread. This won't fly in cheese country. He'll be gone in 2 years. Every year the decline will be small but evident in the end result. I am glad he was hired at NU.Luke Fickell is not looking good.

If that's Fickell's version of an air raid offense, Wisconsin is in trouble.I do not understand Wisc's logic in hiring a coach who loves the spread. This won't fly in cheese country.

Uncle Barry would not have been a bad fit as athletic Director at Nebraska after Tom. But recommending Eichorst, Holy crap what treachery!Uncle Barry must be lurking.

Their only 13-1 season was 17 with hornibrook and they were running for 230 yards a game while passing for 195 per game. They ran the ball 66.17 percent of the time. The season with Russel Wilson they lost 3 games, one of them to an unranked OSU who had a losing season. They ran the ball 64.7 percent of the time that season as well. They got a great qb and capitalized on his abilities, but still stayed true to themselves.Wisconsin was the best when they had a QB who could throw
2017 they didn't play jack shit.Their only 13-1 season was 17 with hornibrook and they were running for 230 yards a game while passing for 195 per game. They ran the ball 66.17 percent of the time.

2017 they were #1 in SRS and #15 in SOS. They beat 3 ranked teams and lost by 6 to OSU in the conference title game.2017 they didn't play jack shit.
2011 they beat PSU, MSU. They lost to Oregon in the bowl game, MSU on a hail mary and OSu

2011 they were #9 in SRS. Impressive. But their SOS was ranked 53rd.
They were ranked higher in 17 and they had 2 less losses. By running. When they won conference titles and Rose Bowls they were running 75 percent of the time. Best finished ranking was 4 in 99. They ran 75 percent of the time.
Wisconsin was never going to win a national title. Switching to air raid from something that gave you the most success in program history in a region where you need to run the ball in a conference you need to run the ball to try to win a national title was foolishness and will leave them irrelevant in pretty quick order.
Without the philosophy of jamming the ball up the asses of defenses with the run game, hornibrook would have been a bum.And hornibrook passes for 2000+ yards and 62%
