STANLEY!

100% a good balance must be struck for us to be successful. Getting it going on the ground is very important but even when we are pounding it on the ground I hope these 3 are out there instead of Rahn, Reimers and whoever else so we can hurt them with a PA they don't see coming rather than just telling them when we are passing or running based on our personnel

I agree 100%.  We have to have both going next week.  I'm still not very optimistic about next week.

 
Unfortunately, I think that Wisky will expose our OL for what it really is.  Our strength are our WR's and RB's ... but Wisky has had better OL's and DL's then us and thus I think they dominate us.  They will need to play clean football ... something they have not done against NW today thus far.

I wouldn't be so sure on their D-Line being better. Nebraska's has been sneaky good this year.

 
On Stanley, he has been fantastic. The drops yesterday were a little worrisome, but despite that he still turned in a impressive statistical game. He's well on his way to being best wideout we've had in these parts.

 
Today's games will probably drop him a couple spots, but as of right now he's #1 in the conference in catches, receiving yards, and receiving TDs.

If he didn't miss last week his lead in all categories would likely be comfortable.

I'm watching NW-Wisky and haven't been too impressed with the Badgers offense. If NU brings pressure, Hornybrook does not throw accurately. Their running back has not had large holes open up. I think the Blackshirts hold their own.  Langsdorf better work on a plan that gets the ball out of Lee's hand quick and not kill us with dumb picks. Slow developing routes will get the statue killed. Their defense goes 100 miles an hour and once they get ahead, they are like sharks smelling blood.

Thats the key.  I'd limit his reads and then throw to the hot read or throw away.  Maybe we see him with a few designed runs.  That'd throw Wisky a curve.

 
Stanley has probably taken very few reps prior to the game so he was expected to have some rust - they also went high around the neck on him early in the game and i'm sure he was always thinking about that throughout the game.  He will look more like a 6th week player next week - just hope we have the time to get the ball to him....

 
I love Stanley.  However, he is like a roller coaster and the game of golf - a series of ups and downs.  One minute I am amazed by the catches he is able to make and then let down as he drops a well placed pass.
