EZ-E Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 My only worry about this guy that people are making such a big deal about is if Fonzie is healthy. If Fonzie is healthy, Toon has no chance to have an impact. NU saw the best passing attacks in the nation last year in Big Tweleve. There is not a single team in the Big Ten that rivals a Big Tweleve team in terms of passing games. Quote Link to comment
badgerman27 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Yes, but you have to defend our offense differently than you would any team in the Big 12. Is there a team in the conference that didn't run some version of a spread offense? Quote Link to comment

EZ-E Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Okie State was a very balanced attack last year. They ran the ball extremely well with Kendall Hunter and they could really sling the ball around. I would say that your offense is a mirror image of theirs in the sense that they pass to open up the run, and you guys run to open up the pass. Regardless, I would tell you that Blackmond is/was a better receiver last year than Toon is and if you watch the 3rd quarter of the NU Okie State game last year, Fonzie shut Blackmond down. We don't win that game without him last year. Fair enough? Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 aTm didnt exactly play a form of the spread last season either. Washington is more west coast with spread elements mixed in. Quote Link to comment
lilred Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 No chance to have an impact? That's a bold statement. A little too bold for me. 1 Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 No chance to have an impact? That's a bold statement. A little too bold for me. Not really. EZ said IF healthy, which I don't personally see him at 100%. Remember when Zo switched with Prince at halftime in the Okie State game last year, Blackmon(who, as EZ said is 100x the WR Toon is, and that is saying a lot because I think Toon is a good one) was a complete non-factor. And personally the kids old man could tear it up on Super Techmo Bowl. Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 What? I thought it was Saturday morning time on this thread...or at least Butters from South Park was making an appearance. So disenchanting... Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 We also had Gomes, Hagg, Prince...this year we have Cassidy...Green....need I go on? Quote Link to comment
MadisonBadger Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Yes, Toon can be shut down, but Nebraska will have to do more than that to stop Wisconsin's office. There are other good receivers to fill in the gaps behind him. Wilson does a good job of hitting the second and third options, and he is a big threat to run. If the UW running game gets going, shutting down Toon won't really matter much. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I'm more worried about Wisconsin's TEs in the passing game. Quote Link to comment
