Stats are for losers, Fitz. But how are you going to talk over 350 yards of offense by Wisconsin in the first half, 227 yards passing and 123 yards rushing. They had TWO yards rushing the entire game last week against Illannoys. 350 YARDS.

We have the best facilities for a 1 win team. 800 million for a first class stadium… why not!

Joshua Perry: It’s not even anything complicated that’s going wrong for them on defense. It’s all the simple things that you wanna do. You hit the right gaps. You communicate in coverage. And you tackle people. And they’re not doing it right now.

How, please tell me, is this assessment on anyone other than Jim O’Neill? This is coaching, teaching, and preparing. Not talent.

At halftime, is it even possible to roll back to the previous Hankwitz defense? Fitz calls the defense, guys like McGarigle and McPherson who were understudies to Hank helps implement. At this point, anything is better than the JON defense.

It’s not the playbook! They plays called mean nothing if the team is so poorly coached in fundamentals going back two years now. That won’t be fixed quickly at this point.

He's failed at NFL coordinator and now failed at college coordinator. The guy is making shit tons of money... Just send him back to DB coach in the NFL. We need someone different.

Hillinski ain’t the answer! We can still win 🥇 the BT with Sullivan! Dude is a gamer! Why didn’t this guy start the entire season? Boneheaded decision!

You are 100% correct. NU has recruited as well as any team in the Big10 West the last 8 years on a stars/recruit basis (to offset NU’s smaller classes). Talent isn’t the issue. It’s developing and designing a scheme to use it…and playcalling.

You don’t see Iowa, Minn, or Purdue going 3-9 and 1-11 and looking this bad. Good coaching creates consistency. NU coaches really need to change their philosophy, style, or be replaced!
 
Fitz will pound his chest about how the defense held Wiscy to only 165 yards in the second half and 550 for the game. LOL
