Foppa Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I think Beck put a lot of things back in his pocket today for next week. Really conservative plan. Just get the win and get out. Wind played a factor in this as well. You can bet we will see things next week we havent seen before. I know we'll be ready. Meh. Hope you're right. Because otherwise that's a huge risk playing bad offensive football hoping you can win by 7 or hoping tOSU wins to put your 'premium' game plan in your pocket for a CCG. Quote Link to comment
'SkersRule Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 More importantly, no wind indoors at Indy! Au contraire mon ami (okay I'm terrible at French but the French are terrible at bathing so it evens out.) Wisconsin totally sucks so the "wind" will be gale force. Quote Link to comment
Dan_F_31 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'm really worried about our line play with the 2 most important players on each side out for the game. Nya, they played well after Stein and Jackson went down but Wisconsin ain't Io_a (they can't buy a "w") Quote Link to comment

Nya, they played well after Stein and Jackson went down but Wisconsin ain't Io_a (they can't buy a "w") Oh...a "Wheel of Fortune" reference...you should patent that. Actually Wisconsin is precisely Iowa with a slightly better running game. There is a reason why Wisconsin doesn't go shotgun, 4 or 5, WR. They don't have the talent at WR nor the QB to get those WRs the ball out of a spread set. The Badgers are at their best when they can line up in 2 and 3 TE sets and run the ball, utilizing play-action off of it. Take away the Badgers running game and they lose any offensive potency they might have had. Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 It wasn't a pretty offensive game for the Huskers today, but I think that had more to do with the wind than anything else. It wasn't exactly ideal conditions for throwing the ball around, which is unfortunate because I would take our receivers against most DBs anyday. Quote Link to comment

Nya, they played well after Stein and Jackson went down but Wisconsin ain't Io_a (they can't buy a "w") Both players obviously hurt, but I really think Jackson is a huge loss. Alot of what the Huskers do running the ball involve a pulling center and guard. Jackson was incredibly good at this. Pelini was good at pulling, but I noticed he had a difficult time targeting and blocking. In my opinion, it seemed that the Huskers did a better job against the run after Stein went out. This could have been a defensive adjustment though, but Stein had been quietly playing really good. I feel bad for him that he will not be in the championship game. Horrible luck.

I dont think it was going to be as conservative as it turned out to be until they realized what the conditions were. But I would bet it was going to be rather conservative anyway.

VectorVictor Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Let's go with the normal unis this time. Hey...why not go with normal unis, but bring out the Black Helmets, eh? That would be kinda snazzy... Quote Link to comment
