Man, we are getting pretty shallow at receiver, a position that we cannot afford to have limited options. Jones is going to have a challenge with King likely be on him all game. Vitale, Shuler, or someone else is going to have to step up. Maybe this is that game where Vitale breaks out, like we've seen him do some times in the past. Anyone know what the deal is with Carr? That injury was news to me.

We already knew Harris was going to be out, but even with our depth at CB, it still hurts any time you lose an NFL level CB. Hope he comes back soon.
 
Could we see Cam Green or Charlie Fessler burn their shirt(s) at WR?
 
Harris out is the biggest concern in my book. Especially with Quiero already out. We were very special with Harris and Van Hoose manning the corners. Is Watkins at the same level or a drop off to the levels that we were more used to over the years? The Ioa QB is probably the best one we have faced since Hogan - though he is hurt. Need the DL to get to him big time.

Watkins has seen an ton of action, and he has looked excellent, imo.
 
Watkins and McShepard would be the starting corners on most past NU teams. Gonna miss Matt but the injuries to 2 of our WRs are going to hurt us more.

Maybe this is the week they need to get people like Vault, Roberts and Anderson out in the slot. With the defensive orientation of this team, I'm not sure losing the WR hurts us more than losing the DBs.

How important are they?
Badgers need you to beat them.
WR Austin Carr - OUT Starting Receiver, but I don't see him as that much better than half a dozen WRs on the team that really don't separate themselves from eachother or defenders

OL Adam DePietro - OUT #6 or 7 olineman

DB MatthewHarris - OUT Starting CB. Very good one at that. We have good backups here, but he's a stud.

WR Flynn Nagel - OUT #6 or 7 WR true freshman that was showing promise

DB Kyle Queiro – OUT #3 Safety

LB TommyVitale – OUT FOR SEASON #4 or 5 Superback (TE) The #3 or 4 SB Jayme Taylor is also out of the season from camp. This hurts because we really don't have depth here just because it's a position where you just don't have a lot of players. We've rotated in a back up OG to play SB in previous games. Tommy Vitale also played LB but isn't on the 2 deep and is a true freshman.

I agree. Either that or he may have to burn a shirt. We have had a week of practice so it will be interesting to see how this is addressed. Carr was showing promise and I think he is a bigger loss than some on here are suggesting.
 
Iowa is decimated by injuries! We can stuff the run and win this game handily. Their QB will be like Trevor last year, a statue! We will sack him four to six times
 
Roberts showed some promise last game (and a drop...) I think he will do some good stuff this game

Watkins is a beast, not as good as Harris, but he hits like NVH
