Roll Skers Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I really do think we have a GREAT shot to beat the Badgers this weekend. No it is not false hope, but we match up very well with the Badgers offense. Hornibrook is a qb to not throw it deep, and with the way our front 7 has played, we can hold them under 20 for sure. If Tanner makes no dumb throws, him and the rb group can do enough for the win. Oh and by the way, It is a night game, where no B1G team has came into Lincoln and won, EVER! 3 Quote Link to comment
huskerfan69 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 we have looked competent when we don't turn the ball over, so i think anything can happen. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I forgot it's a night game. We've played them neck and neck the past two times. Should be very competitive and close again. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 It's going to be a really great game, the last two times we've gone to Lincoln it's been close. I think your QB is going to have a tough time. Quote Link to comment

Tanner can make a secondary look like the second coming of the Legion of Boom, but he was smarter with the ball against Illinois so there's a glimmer of hope he's improving with his decision making.

All but two are new but they've played very well up until the last ten minutes of the Northwestern game. That's Leonhard's bread and butter and I'm confident he will have them ready. Our Pass Defense was #10 in the country by yardage and #1 by TDs allowed this morning, and while that was against bad teams, they will still be the best you guys have yet to face, as you will be for us. If we lose it will be because we can't get our Offense clicking which I could see happening, it's already happened in the 1st halves of our Northwestern and Utah State games. This game is going to be close which is good, close night games are always fun. PS: I cannot sing Leonhard's praises enough, you all may be aware of him from a few media spots but the dude is legit. He's sort of Wisconsin's version of Scott Frost I guess. A walk-on with a successful NFL career and extremely high football IQ. He is the future of our program from a coaching perspective. 1 Quote Link to comment

One exception on the Frost comparison: Frost wasn't a walk on Quote Link to comment

Chryst has a similar story as well but I'm partial to Leonhard because he's from my part of the state. Quote Link to comment
Whistlepig Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 anything can happen but like mike rileys over-all record, Lee has a bad history at Tulane and here, so I'm not sold on Lee NOT throwing a ton of picks- especially against a good team, which honestly, I'm not sure you can say we've actually played a real good team this year- this will be the first Quote Link to comment

dvdcrr Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I will be amped if we win, which I give us about a 17% chance. But I won't ever be real happy until that CONFERENCE trophy is in Lincoln. Wisconsin will outrush NU and make more catches when it counts. They will be successful getting the edge because we still do not understand outside contain. Their D will rattle and quite possibly knock Lee out of the game because we throw in predicted situations. They will get two INT. Our rushing game will get shut down due to lack of O-Line ability, and coaching staff commitment. Quote Link to comment

I think we have played the worst the B1G has to offer at this time, and haven't really destroyed anyone yet. Now we getting ready to square off against maybe the 4th best team in the conference and this will be our best gauge on how we will compete going ahead. They will bring the house on each play. Lee is not mobile and our play calling is so predictable, they will have at least 4 sacks and probably 2 int's. 2 Quote Link to comment
