Wisconsin-Western MI

- Start date
Uncle Barry must be lurking. I swear that Western Michigan QB scored a TD on that sneak but ‘they’ said he was just short. 4th Down and ‘they’ took an awful long time to rule a Western Michigan TD. That Uncle Barry is one sneaky fella!
I thought they got jobbed too, but the replay showed the WM QB's knee was clearly down before the ball broke the plane.
Their defense is good, bowed up pretty well at times.
Their offense is average at best and Melusi and Pauling is all they have.
They also got extremely lucky several times in this game.
I think they are going to look pretty bad when they play Alabama given what I saw tonight.
Watching Air Raid Wisconsin is Nebraska Bill Callahan deja vu.
I'd love to see them get shut out. Air Raid Wisconsin was the dumbest change ever. I'm not complaining though.
Anytime Wisconsin loses in any sport it’s a good thing. A very pompous and rude fan base. They are a mix of Big-12…Colorado drunk fanbase, K-State little brother that hasn’t won the Big Games, Texas thorn in our side, Missouri backwardness. Their teams play dirty. Same team colors as us makes me hate them even more!
Betting against the B1G has been a nice little money maker for me so far.
Now let’s go UConn, FIU, Indiana state and Illinois state
Hold on, that was supposed to be air raid? Might as well have Zac Lee back there.Watching Air Raid Wisconsin is Nebraska Bill Callahan deja vu.

They bought into the lie that they needed to be better at passing than running to get to the next rung on the ladder.Watching Air Raid Wisconsin is Nebraska Bill Callahan deja vu.

I do not understand Wisc's logic in hiring a coach who loves the spread. This won't fly in cheese country. He'll be gone in 2 years. Every year the decline will be small but evident in the end result. I am glad he was hired at NU.Luke Fickell is not looking good.

Uncle Barry would not have been a bad fit as athletic Director at Nebraska after Tom. But recommending Eichorst, Holy crap what treachery!
Their only 13-1 season was 17 with hornibrook and they were running for 230 yards a game while passing for 195 per game. They ran the ball 66.17 percent of the time. The season with Russel Wilson they lost 3 games, one of them to an unranked OSU who had a losing season. They ran the ball 64.7 percent of the time that season as well. They got a great qb and capitalized on his abilities, but still stayed true to themselves.
2017 they didn't play jack ****.
2011 they beat PSU, MSU. They lost to Oregon in the bowl game, MSU on a hail mary and OSU.
2017 they were #1 in SRS and #15 in SOS. They beat 3 ranked teams and lost by 6 to OSU in the conference title game.
2011 they were #9 in SRS. Impressive. But their SOS was ranked 53rd.
They were ranked higher in 17 and they had 2 less losses. By running. When they won conference titles and Rose Bowls they were running 75 percent of the time. Best finished ranking was 4 in 99. They ran 75 percent of the time.
Wisconsin was never going to win a national title. Switching to air raid from something that gave you the most success in program history in a region where you need to run the ball in a conference you need to run the ball to try to win a national title was foolishness and will leave them irrelevant in pretty quick order.
Without the philosophy of jamming the ball up the asses of defenses with the run game, hornibrook would have been a bum.
It doesn't need to be complementary at all if you run for 250 yards a game. There's nothing complementary in doing so. The passing stats from a team that does so doesn't mean they could have done it had they not run for that much.
I want you to read this statement after the 1992 Halloween game against Colorado from Osborne very carefully and realize he was being diplomatic and sarcastic in the most stoic of ways.

This is the only way to play football for some programs and have success. Circumstances could be anything from prior success to program, recruit location, climate and geography. Unless you can land a 5 star #1 prospect in the country and give him weapons. We did and we do. So we will throw the ball when there is 7 or more in the box and run it when there aren't. If we aren't successful with this, we won't land any other top qb prospect in the near future (because if his Daddys name wasn't on the building and him and his brother didn't grow up fans we would have never had a chance at landing him) and will be forced fo have to find someone willing to run the ******* ball to win.
