They made a couple mistakes. Look a little sloppy. I bet they will turn it around quickly.

Oh good Lord. Two officials standing right by the play and don't even throw a flag. But the replay official buzzes and the Utah State DB gets ejected from the game. I'm sure that's the way the rule is written, but it's written in a way that makes no sense.

The only reason the WR was "defenseless" and the only reason he got hit in the head was because instead of making the catch, he saw the DB closing, pissed his pants and bent over into a fetal position. And under the targeting rule he gets rewarded with 15 yards and a DB being ejected.

Worst call I've ever seen. Poor kid. Layer a GREAT hit for his program trying to knock off a top 10 team. BS call. Wisky so one dimensional. O line getting BLOWN UP. Let's destroy this team!

I don't really care what the final score ends up being.... The bottom line is that they look beatable. Their lines are not dominating and they will have to improve dramatically if they hope to win the west (even with their schedule).

And they look sloppy with penalties and fumbled snaps. Really uncharacteristic for a Wisconsin team. They have a lot to shore up.

Wisc looked a bit rusty. OSU did too. Credit Rutgers for coming out with thunder and lightning. Both teams woke up in their 2nd halves. Getting it done is all that matters.

Just because they were shakey tonight, doesn't mean they will be when we play. In fact, they will be more dialed in.

yes they are beatable because they dont have a great offense.they play a lot of close games.last year they almost lost to georgia state. most of the time they seem to make a play when they need to

I dont know why it seems like this lefty qb's ball seems to take FOREVER to get to the wide recievers.. man it seems like every ball he throws should be picked.. we better get a few

Are we really judging them on their first half play of the first game. Wow, they suck. I sure hope Tanner doesn't throw an incompletion the whole game or we're doomed worse than we already think.

Last year they were the best team in the country for limiting penalties with 48 total penalties over 14 games (averaging 3.4 a game). In the first half they had 4 in the first half. That is noticeably sloppy and worth noting.

Now saying that, I have mentioned several times that I think Wisconsin will will/turn it around and I mentioned that they have got it going.

Finally, holy smokes, they looked really sloppy in ththe first half.

Sure look like a different team in the 2nd half. Their defense looks salty again and the offense will be a normal Wiscy O.

Hornytoad does not look good. Stack the box and make him throw. BLITZ HIM. He struggles mightily with pressure. That ejection penalty changed the whole momentum of the game. Embarrassing call. And I was shocked to see Wisky Olinemen getting pushed 5 yards back during 1v1 battles.

You mean you don't like seeing a team get rewarded because its receiver grew alligator arms, curled up in a fetal position and made himself "defenseless"?

I credit the officials on the field for not throwing a flag on the play, and I supposed the replay official was probably just enforcing the rule as written, no matter how mind-numbingly stupid it may be. But why do I get the feeling that if a Wisconsin DB did the exact same thing, it would have been a "play on" with no penalty whatsoever?

Wisconsin could start 0-5 and still beat us by 70. Until the Huskers end the jinx I'm not chalking up any win against the Badgers.
