That's just it. We have such a diverse offense, that he can run 20 times and get well over 125 yds of total offense with his receiving yards. And the injury issue I think was answered last week, when he took the Iowa defense for a ride with no problems. Ball may be a great back, but he is playing on a depleted offense. His QB is mediocre, allowing our d to stack the box and let our DB's play tight Coverage. And we stopped him pretty well the first time. Less than 100 yards of total offense, gaining a sad 3 ypc. We all know he is a bruiser, but I think Pelini has got the Wisconsin offense figured out. Collapse the pocket and contain Ball inside of that pocket. Our DB's are the best in the nation for a reason.You 10 (for now) guys are nuts for thinking Burkhead will out-rush Ball. Our RB that has been hurt all year and will likely split time between 3 other guys vs. an all-time rusher in an offense that really has no other choices, playing against a beat-up/depleated D-line? But then again, I'm just another crazy guy saying crazy things on a message board.

I think it will, but with Rex receiving out of the backfield; as much as Ameer is an excellent RB, Rex seems to be better at catching passes out of the backfield.As much as I hate to say it, I actually agree with this.You 10 (for now) guys are nuts for thinking Burkhead will out-rush Ball.

I want so badly for Rex to single-handedly shred Wisconsin's defense and show the nation that he's just as good as Montee Ball when he's 100%. I just don't think it's going to happen that way.
