Wow, the defensive line won that battle. When the OL can't blow the DL back 2 yards or create a lane...

UW's D showing the trouble with the spread again
September 29th, 2012 at 10:41 PM ^
Damn, this game is not going the way I want it to.
September 29th, 2012 at 10:41 PM ^
this looked like it was going to be a blowout early, but this is getting interesting.
September 29th, 2012 at 10:41 PM ^
Ole Miss quarterback doing his Denard impression?
September 29th, 2012 at 10:43 PM ^
Did they really just call Neb's d-linement 'two-gap type guys'? Sometimes I wonder if commentators know anything about football.
September 29th, 2012 at 10:45 PM ^
Momentum meter swings to Nebraska. I really hope UW can pull this out so I don't have to cheer for Ohio for two weeks in a row.
September 29th, 2012 at 10:46 PM ^
Is UW capable of putting a DB within 10 yards of a receiver off the LOS?
September 29th, 2012 at 10:47 PM ^
Wisky is falling apart. Gotta hold the line.
September 29th, 2012 at 10:50 PM ^
Oh hey, UW figured out they're allowed to be within 5 yards of a Neb receiver. Good for them.

Nebrasksa and Wisconsin's new Adidas uniforms are really something to talk about. Last year, when watching this game, it was difficult to tell each team apart. Both featured strictly red and white in their uniforms, a boring combination IMO. In addition, they both featured two stripes along side the pants and shoulder pads. Even the letters on the helmets looked similar to each other.
In order to solve this aesthetic crisis, Adidas deccided to incorporate black into Nebraska's unis, and gave Wisconsin red above the shoulder pads and a different W. Nebraska's black helmet looks sharp; however, it clashes with the red pants and jerseys. A black pant would compliment the black helmet well. Having too much black though could upset the Nebraska tradidtionalists who are used to seeing the regular red and white on Saturdays.
In Wisconsin's case the jersey looks nice, with the exception that the W is oversied and unintimidating. The block W, like the block M, brings more to the table and looks less elementary. In conclusion, I applaud Adidas's attempt to eliminate the homogenous apperances of these two teams and give them more of an identity. A few adjustments here and there can go a long way in improving these teams normally below average uniforms.
On a side note, Nebraska and Wisconsin need to returf their fields. Their paint is so worn down that the red has turned into a purplish brown. I understand not every program has the luxuries that Michigan has, but these turfs are brutal IMHO.

Sounds like you spent all of wifey day clothes shopping.
September 29th, 2012 at 10:52 PM ^
Good lord, what in the hell has happened to UW's line this season?
September 29th, 2012 at 10:58 PM ^
Mississippi is toast. Feel free to tune in to Arizona or Oregon instead.
September 29th, 2012 at 10:58 PM ^
Maybe UW can re-hire their fired OL coach?

RR's field goal kicker is now 4/9 on the year with a long of 42. Down 10-0 2Q.
September 30th, 2012 at 12:40 AM ^
That's not shocking at all
September 29th, 2012 at 11:09 PM ^
Jesus, bad bad bad tackling. And why does everyone else just stop when they think the runner's going to get tackled?
September 29th, 2012 at 11:10 PM ^
Watch out for them Beavers.
September 29th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
They're the first Arizona opponent this year that doesn't operate out of the spread.

Make dispensing with all self-respect into a tradition and no one can ever accuse you of selling it out.
September 29th, 2012 at 11:17 PM ^
Okie State is a complete and utter disappointment.
September 29th, 2012 at 11:18 PM ^
Jebus, Wisconsin is unraveling. Ball can't do anything but run into the backs of his linemen.
September 29th, 2012 at 11:19 PM ^
There's a reason why they are dead last in the conference in total offense, and 110 in the nation.
September 29th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
September 29th, 2012 at 11:22 PM ^
UW needs to start taking a few more chances on D. Like maybe playing press coverage and bringing a blitz or stunt or two. And also, you know, re-learn how to breakdown and tackle.
September 29th, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
September 29th, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
Come on, Martinez, it's about time for you to gift the other team an INT...
September 29th, 2012 at 11:25 PM ^
Christ, can UW put any DB within 10 yards a receiver? Are they seriously trying to GERG themselves to a win?
September 29th, 2012 at 11:25 PM ^
September 29th, 2012 at 11:26 PM ^
September 29th, 2012 at 11:31 PM ^
But I'm thinking I want them to win because we play them there also and I want them to lose at home to us, not Wisc.
Good logic?

Honestly, I think our trip to Nebraska will be very difficult, so I was hoping for some help from Wisconsin tonight.
September 30th, 2012 at 12:20 AM ^
I see the Leaders as a four-way race between Nebraska, MSU, Northwestern, and Michigan. Every loss of one of our main competitors for the Leaders lowers our magic number, whether it happens now or late in the season.
September 29th, 2012 at 11:38 PM ^
Epic, epic fail by Wisconsin.
September 29th, 2012 at 11:38 PM ^
That was just turrible. Run right into three blitzing LBs...wow...
September 29th, 2012 at 11:39 PM ^
September 29th, 2012 at 11:39 PM ^
How do you not sneak it there? You've got a huge QB. Why run a slow-developing play that hasn't even worked all night?
September 29th, 2012 at 11:47 PM ^
It's not like they have Dominic Raiola at Center
September 29th, 2012 at 11:39 PM ^
September 29th, 2012 at 11:40 PM ^
Good one BB.
