if only we had Drew Tate to just throw the ball 30+ times a gameAIRBHG rears his ugly head.
I'm sure that our quarterbacks throw for 300+ yards if you count incompletions.if only we had Drew Tate to just throw the ball 30+ times a game
dude had three 300+ passing games in 2004
can't imagine that feeling anymore
I think we're happy to see a QB hit 300 yards over a two game span anymore. Throwing for 300 yards in one game would be like Ferentz upgrading from Choice to Prime at a steakhouse. That's just too much razzle-dazzle for Kirk in his old age.if only we had Drew Tate to just throw the ball 30+ times a game

It sounds like it will be a miserable game to watch for anyone that isn't a fan of the B1G.Time for Williams and McNeil to step up and prove they can be the new lead dogs. Granted, if the OL "blocks" like it did against Minnesota, we could have prime Walter Payton and Barry Sanders back there and it wouldn't matter.
For the record, F--- Wisconsin is #16 in the nation against the run, giving up about 96 yards per game. They have given up 5 rushing touchdowns on the year. (In case you were wondering, Iowa is #5 at 83 YPG and has given up 2 rushing touchdowns this season.)

Ricky would be sitting on the bench because he throws too many interceptions for current, hyper-risk averse Ferentz.What I would give to get the Manzi back

Don't say its name!!AIRBHG rears his ugly head.
It's Jackson for me, but would like to see a heavier dose of both.I still think McNeil has the biggest upside of any RB on the roster.
He who shall not be named!AIRBHG rears his ugly head.
With Sam Brownlee as the RB.if only we had Drew Tate to just throw the ball 30+ times a game

And interception yardage.I'm sure that our quarterbacks throw for 300+ yards if you count incompletions.
Shocked he lasted this longthat sucks
Those two dudes better take out life insurance. Like KM soon to be on disabled list. Whisky will be teeing off on those backs.Time for Williams and McNeil to step up and prove they can be the new lead dogs.

A quick Wikipedia search shows the game had a 6.8 viewership while just two years later, the West Virginia-Clemson game brought in a 4.5, so..............Exactly beat a wishbone team in the worst and least watched Orange Bowl match-up ever
REALLY? Did he sit on the bench for his junior and senior seasons? Who was the coach?, Excuse me, who? Pick six Rick threw SIX pick sixes as a junior throwing 17 tds. and FIFTEEN interceptions and he kept his job, and played much better as a senior with 25tds, and only 6 interceptions. Things are bad enough obviously without making up crazy false narratives.Ricky would be sitting on the bench because he throws too many interceptions for current, hyper-risk averse Ferentz.
That’s why I said for “Current hyper-risk averse Ferentz”. Ferentz 15+ years ago was willing to have QBs that took risks. Tate and Stanzi were prime examples of QBs that rewarded us because of their willingness to attempt a risky play. Heck, Petras in 2020 was the last time we’ve had a QB attempt at least 40 passes in a game, and he had 3 interceptions in that one.REALLY? Did he sit on the bench for his junior and senior seasons?

Not sure he's anymore "risk adverse" as she was then. If you read posts on here Kirk has always kept guys who turned the ball over off the field. Of course that's not true, (as Rickys record proves) but it doesn't stop people from saying that. He played Ricky because his junior and senior season he was clearly the best player.That’s why I said for “Current hyper-risk averse Ferentz”.

Oddly enough if you combined the careers of the best four QBs of Ferentz’s tenure: Banks, Tate, Stanzi, Beathard; you only end up with 4 games where a QB attempted at least 40 passes. Tate with 3 and Beathard with 1.
