Four-Star Recruit
Cam and Maurice look really good when they get the chance, hopefully they get more chances in the near future. Thought Frost used Washington really well tonight. Both have lots of talent!

 
Loved Ziggy's resilience tonight. Named the starter this week, yet Mo seemed to get the majority of the snaps. Mo goes down and Ziggy comes in and takes advantage of his opportunity. No pouting and no quit. 

 
Washington was a matchup problem for Wisconsin.  The more he plays, the better Nu’s offense will be. There will be plays for Ozigbo, as he’s a different type of talent, but Washington allows the offense to do so many creative things.

Frost obviously felt that NU’s line wasn’t going to be good enough against Wisconsin’s front 7 to run right at them. That’s why Ozigbo didn’t get many carries. It was annoying to hear the BTN announcers commenting that Ozigbo was wasn’t getting many carries. I like Kugler, but he should know that running straight at Wisconsin isn’t like running straight at Purdue.

The way Mo Wash he got right up after he got targeted showed he is a one tough difference maker.

The way he crawled off the field on another play was a little odd.  It looked like he crawled all the way to the bench  :lol:   Kid needs to get in the weight room and put some meat on those chicken legs.  Exciting football player, glad he wears the N.

He got the wind knocked out of him.

The bolded part...I concur.  Frost said it plainly in his press conference, "They're just better than we are right now."

IIRC. Last season, Wisconsin struggled to stop Ozigbo most of the first half. I would have liked to see more of a running game Saturday.

We also had a staff that had preferred the one back approach and frequently dismissed the idea of any kind of backfield rotation during those years. When you look at frost at UCF a lot of guys carried the rock, the idea is to take advantage of mismatches. The staff thought wiskey might struggle with washington in space. it was worth a try.

True.  I’ve just been impressed with Ozigbo this season and would have liked to see him get more touches, but Washington is pretty special.

Yes, while Washington is special I would have liked to have seen Zig get more than 1 touch in the first half.
