Haven't seen a ton of their games either but I think a majority of his carries are designed runs. They are very one dimensional on offense, especially in Big Ten games.

Got a yahoo alert saying that Wentz is going to get the start on Thursday. Got to think that with both top QBs banged up Max is at the very least getting some quality practice reps which will help him develop even if he isn't getting on the field in games.

Gronowski has as many rushing attempts as their top RB with 67. That is a lot of hits for a QB to take in a conference like the Big Ten and if he goes down they are in a lot of trouble.

Glad 6A doesn't play until Friday when it should be at least a little bit nicer. Conditions could definitely play a role in games to night with the cold/wind/and rain in some cases.

Can't ever take anyone for granted but I have watched a fair amount of this Badger team and they really don't look good in any phase of the game right now. Their offense is a complete mess and their defense is a shell of what it has been. Given that the game is at home and they will most...

That is a pretty hot take....you sure you feel comfortable going out on that limb?...... :)

If we can force them to throw I love our chances. Definitely need to have a spy on Gronowski to try and keep him from running and when he does we need to hit him hard.

Will be interesting to see how the media picks come in. I won't be surprised if we see a lot of the Iowa wins but Minnesota covers variety because anyone paying attention will see that our games at Kinnick have been close and Iowa is extremely one dimensional on offense which will make it...

Yeah but you forget that Iowa....especially that Iowa only really had two of the three phases available. So when their Special teams or D failed to score for them the game was essentially over. :)

Ferentz definitely has a smug look on his face but I don't think it is for the reason you think it is. The smug look is because he believed Iowa was going to escape with another win they probably didn't deserve. I don't believe they were trying to pull a fast one on the punt return I just...

Yeah....lot of people with Nebraska look at their program and expect to be on par with Ohio State. But they just aren't that program anymore and most likely never will be again.

His initial rant a couple years ago after Minnesota beat Nebraska was awesome. The ones since then haven't been as good but I still find it kind of fun to watch Nebraska fans wrestling with their place in this new college landscape. :)

Yeah, I have never bought into the idea some have that anything said on one of these message boards provides any sort of bulletin board material for an opponent.

Even if they lose out and go 2-10 I'm not sure this season will deserve a spot on that list. They have an absolutely brutal schedule with potentially 4 CFP teams on it in Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State and Indiana. There are 4 other teams besides Wisconsin with zero Big Ten wins so far and...

I don't think this current Northwestern team is anything special but we are also not the kind of team that can overlook anyone. Play well and we should beat them, don't and we could easily lose to them.

With the way coaches get fired these days every hiring cycle is likely to have big jobs in it. My gut says the AD gets fired before Fickell. Fire the AD, Fickell gets one last ditch year to fix things...and if not gets sent packing after next year. But those are just wild guesses without...

Love how this thread goes back and forth between discussions about football and enrollment numbers :)

Yeah...that one felt more like the students just wanting to go party with the players as opposed to a typical field storming. Was fun seeing all the fans getting selfies with Drake.....more love the fans show him the better.....anything that helps motivate him to stick around.

Heck yeah....keep Fickell in charge as long as humanly possible.

I knew Iowa's passing offense had been bad to this point but didn't realize just how bad. Gronowski has a decent completion percentage but in 4 conference games they have 0 passing TDs and 4 INT. If the D can keep Gronowski from hurting us with his legs I like our chances of keeping them from...
