You people are seriously saying we are going to lose at Wisky..They bring in a brand new qb, who will have no competition in the offseason since the projected started went down for the year, on top of that it will be his first big 10 game, can you say pressure?? and nebraska will be jacked as hell to make a statement, stack the box with 7-8, shut down the run, and it's easy as cake, wisky has a weak recieving corp, ill bet anyone on this board we walk out with a W, 10-1 odds, and no im not drinking kool aid either
Do these 10-1 odds include the possibility of Wisconsin having Russell Wilson at quarterback, the senior from NC State?
Nothing is for sure yet, but let's say that Wisconsin does get Wilson. He's had a lot of experience, he's played in big games and he's got skill. Wisconsin's biggest problem this year is going to be quarterback, and if they get Wilson I believe they're going to be a very dangerous team.
If they don't get Wilson then I feel better about the game. But regardless, Madison is a tough environment and Wisconsin is a very physical football team. We haven't faced that kind of running attack in years. They're a much better team than you're giving them credit for.
While I think 10:1 is crazy, having Russell Wilson won't mean squat. He's played in an entirely different offense, and put up good stats in arguably the second worst BCS league.
I think it will mean more than squat. You're talking about bringing in a guy who has a pretty good amount of experience as opposed to a quarterback that as none and is extremely young. His former conference and offense aside, he could find a place at Wisconsin where they don't ask a lot of their quarterback. His mobility will also help him out. He's a good player. Nothing amazing, but still good in my opinion.
gotta agree with saunders on this one. wilson looks average at best and would have almost no time to learn their offense which is completely different than he has ran in the past. learning a college offense is not that easy.
Nobody said learning a college offense was easy, but there have been one year transfer quarterbacks in the past that were extremely successful. It can be done, although I'm not saying it will be.
Pretend you're a fan of Wisconsin. Somebody earlier said that Wisconsin lost their projected starter for the year and right now the number one guy was the previous number 2. Given that, would you rather rely on this young, inexperienced quarterback, or a guy who has played in a BCS conference and won games?
I'm not saying Wilson is the second coming of Cam Newton, in fact far from it. Newton was an amazing athlete. But this team does get better with Wilson at the helm as opposed to what they have now. Drastically better? Maybe, maybe not. I don't have answer for that. But Wisconsin with Wilson is better than Wisconsin without, and the way their fans talk about their quarterback position only justifies that they're worried about it right now.
