VectorVictor Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Plus, let's not overlook the fact that, statistically, this tOSU defense was twice as good as the defense we played last week (not trying to be ugly, Badger guests/fans--just looking at the numbers. What opened this game up for us was that downfield pass to Quincy--tOSU hadn't expected it all night, and as soon as we pulled it off, they stopped crowding the D-Line and our RBs could breathe (and run) and our O-Line was *magically* competent again. If Martinez can work on/improve his downfield passing, then our offense will be something magical, and the second go-around with Wisconsin will be a completely different affair. 1 Quote Link to comment
The King Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I think the outcome probably would have been on the same path if Braxton was still playing. When Lavonte stripped him, the game was already changing. Add in the fact that we were starting to stop them when he was injured... Granted, he probably wouldn't of thrown that INT, but from my perspective, the game changer wasn't him being knocked out of the game - it was Lavonte stripping him. Quote Link to comment

sd'sker Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 is it possible the 'd' was tired from the 1 on 1's? they played so flat. Quote Link to comment
AlbertaHusker Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 GBR! I can't believe what I saw. I kept myself away from the interwebs and just focused on the game. I hope this is the kind of character building game we've been waiting years to see. Quote Link to comment
TripleOption Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Lavonte David did totally make that game with that amazing strip. That was the turning point... That'll be on his highlight reel for the rest of his life. Quote Link to comment
307husker Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I turned it on halfway through the 3rd. confirmed good luck for you guys. Somebody get that man a proper game schedule so we don't have to endure the first 2 1/2 quarters next game... Quote Link to comment

Haspula Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Just wow. Did that really happen? How did tOSU lose that game? We lost our quarterback... not Pryor, the one after him. You guys took the momentum from there We were stuck with Bauserman, and you see how pathetic that is. Hats off to you though, hope it means more good things from you sooner than later! Best of luck to your team for the rest of the season. I hope Braxton Miller comes back just in time to face Illinois. You guys have a great defense, hope you hand the Illini their first loss Quote Link to comment
MNSker Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Well that was a roller coaster ride. Love to see tOSU on the field; I caught them at Gopher stadium last year and love to see that D play--great tackling. I love to see the Huskers show some heart, and a big win like this that shows they can overcome adversity is just the thing everyone needed. Wherever they go this year, I hope they do it with the same toughness they brought to the field tonight. #4 and #22 Quote Link to comment

Yep, that was a huge factor, Huskers did not have any good answers for him tonight. Hope he is back next week playing, gonna be a good one. Thanks... hope you all carry it through the B1G.... VERY glad to have you in the conference... hoping we both get back to elite very soon... BEAT MICHIGAN Quote Link to comment

BigRedPowerWagon Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I cant even believe that happened, im crying. Not cuz we won but we came back from just looking like crap. I thought it was over, i mailed in the loss i started playing Modern Warfare. Im ashamed at myself as a fan for giving up. Im wrong Badgerfan, you can hang around you bring some Badger-esk to the team. That is all. Quote Link to comment
redblooded Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I don't know what the coaches said to them at half but a different team came out on the field. Complete with a QB that was stepping into throws better, making good decisions, and a defense that actually attacked the ball. Quote Link to comment
