Game thread for Wisconsin vs. Northwestern

I haven’t seen anything in the 1st q to give me hope. Now an easy td without a hand on the receiver. Truly pathetic turnover prone offense and weak db. I need to adjust my prediction to 34-0. Sad.
He was 40 yards deep and barely got a finger on the WR, who crossed right in front of him. Nice.
I hate throwing him out there down 2 TDs against Wisconsin and he's had no snaps all season... But at some point you gotta try it.
I am SHOCKED to discover our backup QB was not a panacea
YES. Sullivan in. Now it’s worth watching the game win or lose!!
Fitz should empty the bench at LB while he’s at it.

Sitting deep, took an angle so bad he ran himself out of the play. Pretty pretty pretty embarrassing.
He looks faster out there! We need him to run 🏃♀️ and play action too! Give him 3 series to get his feet wet!
I am going to keep watching to see how many points JON’s defense will give up, and to see if Sullivan can do anything…I have accepted we will not win again this year…wow, glad that’s over!
It’s almost like the people on the board have no idea what they’re talking about.
The thing about bringing in a new QB is that the other team is expecting short passes and low risk garbage. They aren't stupid.
I'd kinda rather we just ran it 3 times (Colter/Mark style). To see if we can do anything right
I’m not. The players still deserve our support, even if all three coordinators should be gone.
So I have been calling for these things from the offense...
1. Roll Hilinski out and look downfield.
2. Throw deep to loosen up the defense. Who cares if they intercept.
3. Throw down the middle to the tight ends.
So on offense for our first series, we did these things.
First play - rolled Hilinski out to the right and he gained a few yards running.
2nd Play - threw a pass down the middle to TE Gordon for a nice 16 yard gain and a first down.
3rd play - Threw a deep fly pattern to Navarro. Incomplete.
Checked all 3 boxes in the first 3 plays of the game!
And then we totally stopped, went back to dink passes and runs into the line.

I also feel horrible for the guys. They put their faith in NU and Fitz and he and his coordinators are letting them down. We have better athletes than this
