They are good. Running through Michigan like they have done to us for too long.
Losing that D hurts more than some were willing to admit..
He didnt play last year. Their old QB transferred and is 3rd string at FSU
He played last year, after noodle arm got hurt or benched (I forget which).

Michigan turns the ball over inside 10, gets a horrible overturn, and JT has 140 in the first Q. Wisconsin must think they’re playing Nebraska
I can’t stand Paul Chryst’s stupid face, but man they look good.
I remember when people here were outraged that SE might hire him. Can you imagine where we'd be if he had pulled the trigger on Chryst instead of Smiling Mike?
Michigan was up 39 to 0 against the Huskers last year at half. Who were they interviewing on that one?
Not where Wisconsin is at. He’s a caretaker up there, that program was built by Alvarez and he’s been very smart in seeing that it’s maintained..
This is how you tackle. A lot of college teams-including Nebraska, could learn something from watching them. Very disciplined.
Probably about the same place. Eichorst would have meddled and got in the way. Wisconsin was a well oiled machine before he got to town.
Those teams will have to be very generous in the turnover department along with penalties for Nebraska to win, ESPECIALLY tOSU and Wisconsin. I don't see Nebraska beating either of them, Iowa would be a slight lean, but they don't have the offense the Bucks or Badgers have.
2015- we only lost 23-21 to Wisconsin
2016- lost in overtime
2017- tied going into 4th quarter
Year 2, we have them at home. Win the game

Exactly. If Riley could hang with them they must not be world beaters like some are claiming.
Why “should” we be as good as Wisconsin? Because one Saturday we three years ago we played them close? They have been doing things the right way for a long time and we are in the early stages of the rebuild. We have to earn it like they did. I hope we can be competitive with them this year, but I’m not sure we should feel entitled to it.
I honestly don’t think any team we play this year will be an easy win. So far we are just not a good football team.
Badgers are tougher than I thought they'd be. We should match up much better this year. Just have to keep improving every week.
Because our head coach said we should ...
“We’ll be competing for our side” — meaning the West Division of the Big Ten Conference — “in Year 2,” Frost said. “I don’t know if we’ll win it. Then it just goes up from there.”
“I have some optimism because they had an awful culture,” he said. “They weren’t strong. They weren’t in shape. The schemes were bad last year and they still went into the fourth quarter tied with Wisconsin. They should’ve won two or three more games.
I assume the culture, strength, fitness and schemes have been cleaned up
It’s faulty logic at best. He’s trying to extrapolate results based on the past without considering any details. Wisconsin appears to have a great team this year. Expecting us to be able to beat what looks like a legit top 10 team when are coming off a 4-8 season and are going to struggle to be a top 25 team is absurd. And struggle to be top 25 is kind.
