Nebfanatic Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 USA is really bad. Should be a good warm up scrimmage. You can usually pick out the smaller schools that could potentially give a team trouble. USA is not one of those teams. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Wisconsin and Iowa both seem to have a history of coming out poorly against mediocre opponents in the first few weeks, even in years when they end up with a good record. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see USF beat Wisconsin. 2 Quote Link to comment

They had a rough second half last year after their QB got hurt, and they weren’t exactly the light em up USF offense before that. They’re hoping to get back to that with a new offensive coordinator. And they’ll need to with that defense. Given all that’s going to take time, I’d heavily favor Wisconsin to win. They should be able to just grind this out if necessary. Quote Link to comment

I haven't actually looked the scores up but it just seems like every year a medicore or bad team Wisconsin plays in the first 3 weeks plays them tough. Edit: Ok I looked. BYU beat them last year 2017: Beat FAU 31-14 (ok, FAU won 11 games that year) 2016: Beat Georgia State 23-17 (13-10 after 3 quarters) 2015: anomaly 2014: Beat South Florida 27-10 2013: Lost 32-30 ASU 2012: This was the year they won the B1G championship and went 8-6: Date Time Opponent Rank Site TV Result Attendance September 1 2:30 p.m. No. 9 (FCS) Northern Iowa* No. 12 Camp Randall Stadium Madison, WI BTN W 26–21 79,568 September 8 3:00 p.m. at Oregon State* No. 13 Reser Stadium Corvallis, OR FX L 7–10 42,189 September 15 7:00 p.m. Utah State* Camp Randall Stadium Madison, WI BTN[2] W 16–14 79,332 Quote Link to comment

Tripod web builder was a crisis years, about 2015 thru 2017. Lots of down time in crisis times but apparently fully recovered (cross my fingers). I picked Tripod because free and Tripod's file editor to write and upload HTML/CSS file types for my custom-built website .... easy-peasy. (myself, somewhat HTML/CSS code knowledge .... novice) I believe U.K. company. http://www.tripod.lycos.com/ Quote Link to comment
