NU 2-0

Everyone else with 1 loss

Wisconsin playing their tough half of the schedule first. In order for us to win the division, we'll have to beat either them or Ohio State(and not lose any other game)..It's going to be tough. They need to play better than they did to accomplish that.

Wisconsin is beatable, their offense is trash.

Wisconsin is beatable, their offense is trash.

Our defense hasn't proven to be stellar, either.

Our defense has been sufficient in every game. They gave up less than what people likely expected every game so far.

 

[fb30]

Wisconsin's defense is awesome though.

Wisconsin's defense is awesome though.

I second this. It took a long time to get going against Illinois' slightly above average defense. How we perform on defense doesn't matter if we can't get going on offense.

You don't have to be stellar to beat their offense. Apply pressure, force deep throws and hit him hard.

Keep in mind Wisconsin went into possibly the most hostile environment in CFB right now and more than held their own. That is a tough team.

"Wisconsin is beatable" yeah for sure if you are Phil Rivers and Co....

Every team is beatable. Would I bet on us to do it right now, probably not. But they definitely have weaknesses.

We need to get healthy period. We've got some good weapons to test Wisconsin's D but they've been dropping like flies.

Can we ban him now?

Their O is as weak as their D is strong. I think our O can move the ball on them. Langs will have to call a complete came for 4 quarters. Not just every other play. I think TA is improved enough that if they stack the box (they will) he can beat their DB's with his arm and our receivers (healthy!!!!!). We will need to implement some misdirection and more PA IMO to exploit their blitzes and DL.

We need to hit the QB often, hard and get inside his head much like we did against Wyoming. That'll be the key. And the front 7 need to be ready for the run game......

To add, first in the West sounds pretty damn good. Something we were not last year!

First things first, score more than Indiana and hand 50-0 to Purdue.
