Badgers Football 2019

[MrTPlush]

Offense needed short fields...despite the defense having countless opportunities they never got off the field after one set of downs.

What the fair catch?

[yourout]

Ballgame.

 

Would that I had your optimism.

 

The talent gap is just to great.

[lcbj68c]

I don't believe a Coan led offense is going to put up any points today.

What the fair catch?

Get the ball at the 25 after a fair catch on the 6? That's a rule I never knew about.

Yep, that’s a thing in college football.

I knew the rule but I don't understand the decision. An opportunity to make an impact play and instead you call for a fair catch without a defender within 20yds of you. :Shrugs: Coaching mentality rubbing off on these kids.

Nope, I’m all for playing Mertz at this point. Really nothing to lose trying it. If he takes it and runs, great. If it looks like he’s not ready still just his 3rd game and red shirt still in tact.

 

JT23 not here next year, take a chance now.

Running the ball the last two plays seemed like an unnecessary risk.

I don't see how Bringing in Mertz against this defense helps him at all.

Im guessing with the wet ball they didnt want to risk a fumble on a return and give osu another shot at a short field.

Only chance UW has to win is if defense scores a TD. offense might get lucky and score one.

[True Blue Brew Crew]

Chryst is Mike McCarthy. UW would need a Rodgers-level QB to overcome this stale, predictable offensive scheme. Someone who can throw people open and change plays at the line when the play has no chance. Something that's virtually non-existent in college which means Bucky is stuck with what you see today. Even that 4th and 1 they converted. It was gutsy to go for it, but the play called was trash. 11 defenders in the box and we get the token run up the gut. If #1 for OSU knew how to fill a hole or tackle, Taylor was going nowhere. That crap works against Eastern Michigan but try beating Ohio State over the course of 60 minutes, not so much.

 

They're doing a lot right. They're recruiting better, they have possessed a creative, playmaking defensive scheme going back to Aranda, and they have an identity that works. Those 3 factors show that things could be a lot worse. But what's preventing them from ever getting over the hump is the McMarthy-like mentality of "out-executing" over "out-scheming" the opponent. I actually don't even think the talent gap is as massive as it's made out to be. UW is starting to churn out a lot of NFL talent. Chryst needs to innovate.

The should put Mertz in, this feels pretty hopeless, take a shot and see if he can spark something.

That's about all that's left at this point - a savior at QB, not the run of the mill system QB. It's a longshot but really the only hope.

[homer]

I liked the wildcat they showed with Cruickshank. have they done that before?

100% spot on! I sit on my couch and have damn near called the plays and subsequent results on 85 to 90 percent of the plays, including the sacks, before the snap. The only exception was the 27yd jet sweep and the 3rd down conversion to Cephus.

[MadThinker88]

Badgers fans looked to bad weather as a way to level the field.

Turns out, not so much.

While poor weather has muted OSU it has neutered the Badgers...

 

Looks like Buckeyes start 2nd half with the ball & the wind behind them...

[True Blue Brew Crew]

It's a damn shame that this defense is saddled with this offense.

[wildcat83]

Or a big special teams play....

 

But still need to score now.

[lcbj68c]

Defense/Special Teams should gift the offense at least 3 there.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Dont. Run. Backwards

[True Blue Brew Crew]

Hallelujah a throw downfield!!!

This is harsh, and mostly incorrect, IMO. And the death of Jack Coan by Badger fans appears to have been a bit exaggerated....

[OldHeidelberg]

That prayer was answered lol
