its 1:30am, I'm watching Boise St./Utah St. Yes, I love college football!!! I'll offer my 2 cents on M/Wisc. game.
GREAT: Defense was fantastic!!! Badgers 71yds on 28 carries=2.5yds/carry. 159 total yds. INT.by Lewis, one of the best I've seen. I know the arguement it was 4th down, just knock it down, M takes over at 8yd line.
REALLY UGLY: Field goal kicking. On 3rd miss I'm thinking Badgers will fine a way to score, we're going to lose 10-7 or 14-7. Allen has missed 4 of last 5, that's really bad! Then one of my college room mates, his son, Ryan Tice, misses a kick. (He makes it, I was counting on free pizza & beer at his restaurant Pizza House!) Anyway maybe need to give Quinn Nordin a chance.
GOOD/BAD: Speight, game winning TD pass was a thing of beauty! The INT that the Badgers returned to M 31yd line, that was thrown into triple coverage. I know this was discussed in other posts after Colorado game that Speight has been inconsistent. He made some nice throws, crossing routes in particular. Badger defense is good, but Speight still has work to do before he faces sparty.
VERY GOOD: The fans! It was loud from start to end, especially in 4th qtr. Think it rattled them & not that they need it but i'm sure its keeps M defense fired up.
SPECIAL TEAMS: OK: Badgers have a good punter/kicker, Peppers didn't get loose for a long run. Peppers returning kick off from endzone was a mistake, only returned it to the 14yd line. Allen did a good job on punts, 46.7yd avg. Field goals already discussed above.
OFFENSE: Red zone vs a good team, has work to do. M was driving running up middle, crossing routes, short passes, then decided to throw 2 corner routes. Keep doing whats working! Peppers at QB, liked it! I'm guessing in the future he'll either run or dare to pass? I'm guessing yes. Overall 349 total yds., pretty good. Make FGs, its an easy win.
OVERALL: A good test, a very good win vs a very good team!!! Old fashion B1G FB, low scoring, good defense, some hard hits. Thanks to friend who invited me, I was in sec. 21 row 10, could hear the pads popping. Very enjoyable to be that close to the field.
OK, Now I've switched over to UNLV/Fresno St. on CBSSN. Not to exciting, lets try UCLA/Arizona. Life of a bachelor!
