Do we have a prayer?

I might be scared except that Wilson is thoroughly unimpressive. His stats looked great against UNLV, Oregon State, and Northern Illinois. His throws are behind receivers on most passes and completely off the mark on several occasions. Of course, as a Nebraska fan I would have no idea what it's like to have an inaccurate QB :sarcasm , but Wilson has yet to do anything to warrant the tsunami of drool that makes its way from Bristol, CT to Madison on a weekly basis. If Wilson had anywhere near the speed and quickness that Martinez has, maybe he would be a legitimate threat, but I get the strong feeling that playing against a real defense for the first time will not be kind to him.

Wisconsin is overrated

I don't see Wisconsin as overrated. I've thought we were overrated. I had us as Top 25 at the start of the season ... and would still have us there.

Wisky play the kind of game most honest Huskers would say we want to play. They keep replacing good OL each year and have a solid running game. Wilson has been more then solid. Has our defense played any QB with his athletic ability running and throwing accuracy. Nope. Look at what the Washington QB was able to do. Wilson is better ... and playing better.

If the status quo happens for both teams, Wisky wins this one rather easily ... without the Huskers being embarrassed ... just beat. However, if our D can cause some turnovers I can see us making this a game ... assuming our D shows up. I can see Wisky having 5-6 drives for TD's where we can't stop them and that's more where I'm leaning after watching our defense struggle this season to find itself.

This I do know, if put the ball on the carpet, have the penalties, etc, we will get blown out.

I'm thinking 24-45 ... a Badger win.

Say, this isn't a ... "I told you so". I was just looking up this post to try to remember what I was thinking. I think my thoughts were about dead on. Let's keep our heads up guys.
