Go cats!

Tx for the thread, TC

Time to get McGowan free down the seams, we need a chunk play

 

[rogerkim]

Good stop on 3rd down!

 

[TerraCat]

Would be great to get the O going here. The Wisconsin D-Line is shutting down every run. Play action and QB runs might get us a bit further!

 

[DaCat]

Bergin almost got that one for a pick.

 

[fcmchi]

Is Bowser injured?

 

[IAWildcat79]

Putting Mertz into must-throw situations seems like a win for our defense. We have to win enough on 1st and 2nd to force those...easier said than done.

 

[rogerkim]

Man, that graphic is depressing: rushing yds UW 115 NU 5

 

[rogerkim]

Is Bowser injured?

Dunno. It may be that Fitz pulled him after the fumble?

 

[FeralFelidae]

Is Bowser injured?

I think Bowser has been injured to some degree for the last three weeks.

 

[IAWildcat79]

Is Bowser injured?

Not sure I've seen him since the fumble.

 

[Falcon86]

Not a great day for the kickers

 

[NU Houston]

Bad punt

 

[TerraCat]

Punting is a problem. Can’t be giving them good field position consistently. Go D!

Here's another one...

**Edit - Our defensive suffocating them in obvious passing downs.

So Wisconsin recruits players who can't find the state of Wisconsin on a map. Nice story.

 

[Figrating]

Been the defensive game everybody expected...

 

[NUinIowafan]

We had great defense again that series! Come on OFFENSE!!!

Hank has made some adjustments.

 

[rogerkim]

Wisconsin definitely has the best OL of any team we’ve faced so far.

 

[Rodenthater]

The conga offense—1,2,3, kick...1,2,3, kick..1,2,3, kick!

 

[Deeringfish]

Wisconsin definitely has the best OL of any team we’ve faced so far.

Perhaps the best Line too.

 

[Figrating]

That screen we tried to throw on 3rd down was so covered... we should try some screens on 1st & 2nd downs...

 

[JournCat]

The runs to the edge that didn’t work against Purdue are even less likely to work today. Can’t get any space up the middle and both Bowser and Brown are hurt. Is Ramsey going to hit 50 attempts today?

Probably the best OL we would play all year including OSU.

 

[rogerkim]

What a contrast compared to the IU-OSU game. Two great offenses in that one, two great defenses in this game.

 

[eastbaycat99]

Bowser his really in the doghouse. Would love to see him come back and just get a decent couple of inside runs.

Yeah, Fitz tends to do this with RBs who can’t hold on to the ball. Wish he would show a little more trust and send him back out there to redeem himself.

 

[rogerkim]

Given how much Wisconsin is is blitzing, would like to see a draw play to keep them honest.

 

[Deeringfish]

Bull rush caused the drop

 

[FeralFelidae]

I think that was PI, but may have been a "make-up" no-call. (I'm probably okay with that.)

 

[IAWildcat79]

Another obvious passing down coming up...let's get off the field here.

**Someone said it earlier, but Leota is having a GAME

 

[rogerkim]

And that PI they don’t call???

 

[chariots]

What's the record for punts in a quarter?

 

[rogerkim]

I think that was PI, but may have been a "make-up" no-call. (I'm probably okay with that.)

My thought exactly.

 

[IAWildcat79]

Extremely critical drive coming up here with them marking the ball on the -2 yard line. Good punting on their part and less than stellar on ours has started to flip the field against us

 

[bjm989]

Can’t believe he dropped it going down there. What a bummer. So close.

 

[IAWildcat79]

Gonna need a good punt here. Not sure what is taking so long on this review.
