Scarlet Overkill Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Next week Wisconsin plays Northern Illinois on the road. Their offense is somewhat similar to NU's. So, those saying they play a cupcake non-con are mostly correct, but Northern Illinois is no slouch whatsoever. Last year doesn't carry over, (and they ARE a MAC team) I know, but last season they did beat Fresno in their bowl game 40-17, trounced OSU's previous opponent (Toledo) 65-30, and all of their 3 losses were on the road. Though I do expect Wisconsin to handle them, I expect to see a "closer than the experts think" type game. Intriguing matchup, though, because I really want to see how they handle that style of offense. If they can completely shut down NIU, then we may be in for a long day in Madison.

Scarlet Overkill Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 I'm actually watching a replay of the KU game. I think KU is looking much improved from last year, and the score makes it sound like it was a shootout that could have gone either way. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan92 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Let's try never comparing Nebraska to Northern Illinois again, we won't get a glimpse into the Wisconsin game until the game actually starts. Quote Link to comment
Scarlet Overkill Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Um, I just said they played a similar style of offense. Quote Link to comment
