10/19/19 Early Afternoon Game Thread
October 19th, 2019 at 12:49 PM ^
See if Florida can't improve on their tally of 2 rushing yards on 2 attempts. Gotta run the ball at some point.
October 19th, 2019 at 12:50 PM ^
watching competent college offensives makes me sad :/
October 19th, 2019 at 12:52 PM ^
Cocks getting it up early, pounding it and driving it until having to withdraw for a FG. Made it with many inches to spare, though---now up 10-3 over the submissive Gators.
October 19th, 2019 at 12:54 PM ^
Gators are massively overrated IMO. That game last week felt more like a 25 point win for LSU and would gave been had Florida not gotten a couple lucky bounces for TDs where they should have been settling for FG
October 19th, 2019 at 1:01 PM ^
Damn I need a cigarette
October 19th, 2019 at 1:39 PM ^
I hear you.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:08 PM ^
Dude, what is your thing with primates?
October 19th, 2019 at 6:36 PM ^
Hi dipshit, we already figured out you are a buckeye or sparty fan.
October 20th, 2019 at 4:48 PM ^
Hi queef. Remember when you posted a photo of your wife recently? LMAO.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:35 PM ^
The Gators arms are too short to beat the Cocks.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:58 PM ^
Premature speculation here - if those cocks lack the stamina and finish poorly, their fans will be left unsatisfied.
October 19th, 2019 at 12:55 PM ^
Florida is using their talented WR, despite not having much of a running game. I wish we could do the same with our talented WR.
October 19th, 2019 at 12:58 PM ^
Louisville also uses the Fumble Offense with the Crisco-covered ball apparently.....although that last fumble was ultimately ruled an incomplete pass.

Wisconsin in control but looking a little off based on how they've played this year. Maybe looking ahead?
October 19th, 2019 at 1:04 PM ^
10-7 about midway through the 2nd quarter. Peters just threw for a nice TD. Illinois is holding their own on defense.
Maybe our win at Illinois was a decent win?
October 19th, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe they're starting to find something. But Wisc also looks a little flat.
October 19th, 2019 at 2:51 PM ^
You know, my feeling is Wiscy does look a little flat, but Illinois isn’t a Rutgers style pushover. So many of us were upset over Illinois playing good defense against us, and getting past our defense in that third Q.
They’re playing hard, and doing pretty well against a very good team. I give them credit. I doubt they’ll beat Wiscy, but they’re giving the fans a game.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:09 PM ^
It's certainly a prime trap game for them, with OSU next week.
But also, Illinois is not the Rutgers-esque team people were making them out to be. They have some talent and are playing at home.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:00 PM ^
Watching Peters stand in the pocket and throw lasers makes me sick. That guys has NFL tools and we cast him off because...,we don’t like NFL arms & stature?? WTF. He looks 10x more poised in the face of the same Wisconsin rush that had Shea shitting his pants. That arm can make ALL of the throws that would make best use of our WRs. He’s on an absolute shit team with next to nothing around him so he won’t get the statistics that he might but I feel very comfortable predicting that he will get an NFL opportunity and will stick around the league somewhere. Which of the QBs we put ahead of him do you want to bet has a better career track?
October 19th, 2019 at 1:07 PM ^
Can he do it on a consistent basis? Shea looks good in spurts too, but he hasn’t done it for an entire game all year. Peters numbers are terrible against legit competition. Gotta see where his numbers are at the end of the game. Either way, Peters didn’t look good here at all after his concussion. Tells me that it has more to do with our Qb development and utilization than individual QBs. Tom Brady would be up and down with us.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:11 PM ^
Eye test bud. Watch his feet. Watch his release. Watch his ball fly. Rush coming? Does he get happy feet & bail or turtle?
October 19th, 2019 at 1:29 PM ^
Yes, he gets happy feet in the pocket under pressure quite a bit. Peters would not have us any better. In fact, we’d probably be worse. There are reasons why he wasn’t top of the depth chart last year and it ain’t because he’s a great Qb. Guy is 4-9 today and on pace to have his third straight game completing 50% or less.....
October 19th, 2019 at 2:19 PM ^
Care to revise any statements? 2-8 since you posted this with a few should be interceptions and a fumble his team recovered.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:01 PM ^
That Clemson game is ugly. 5 turnovers so far.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:02 PM ^
Brandon Peters with a dart on a slant for 6. 10-6 Wisc, XP pending.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:04 PM ^
Better pass than we’ve thrown all year. On time, on target. So much for meritocracy
October 19th, 2019 at 1:11 PM ^
And yet Illinois is 2-4 and Michigan is 5-1.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:04 PM ^
Nothing better than an Iowa game for all you field goal lovers out there
October 19th, 2019 at 1:32 PM ^
Iowa vs Purdue: 12 PM, ESPN2, field goals, punts, and Beth Mowins on the call.
Yep, exactly as Iowa vs Purdue should be. I admit, this is the early game I have on.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:39 PM ^
Because watching Iowa 3 weeks in a row was the sentence handed down by the judge?
October 19th, 2019 at 1:46 PM ^
Penance from my priest. I shall sin no more! Thank God Iowa doesn't play MSU this year.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:55 PM ^
I’ll take Mowins over the team that did our game last week. Absolutely terrible.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:05 PM ^
Gamecocks 10 Gators 10 mid 2nd qtr. when was the last time SC took down top10 teams back to back?
October 19th, 2019 at 1:10 PM ^
Wisconsin is in a fight today. But rather than focus that IL might be a little better than advertised, let’s focus on Peters’ 3 completions as additional evidence that Michigan sucks.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:12 PM ^
It wouldn't be a Michigan blog if it wasn't full of people who take pleasure in shitting on Michigan.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
True ...but still Wisky is in a classic trap game. They are looking ahead and Ill came to play. As a great man once said “he thinks this is a damn fight. He doesn’t know it’s a show.”
October 19th, 2019 at 1:51 PM ^
It was not unlike last weekend with Michigan. They had just played Iowa in a tough game, had PSU and ND coming up, and got a little lazy. That said, Michigan was better in the first half against Illinois and had to deal with Illinois running out a QB they didn't have any tape on. Yeah he was their backup, but you could tell UM didn't know what to expect at times from him and the offensive playcalls. Peters is a lot of things but you know what an offense with him operates at.
Wisconsin is going to win this game, but Illinois isn't a complete basketcase like Rutgers. I've been impressed watching them these past couple of weeks; if Lovie stuck around my guess is they'd be decently competitive out west more times than not.
October 19th, 2019 at 2:54 PM ^
That's the Michigan Difference
October 19th, 2019 at 1:11 PM ^
Clemson would get beat by OSU ... they are sloppy.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:14 PM ^
Clemson is a big pile of poo
October 19th, 2019 at 1:48 PM ^
Until the last 3 games of the season as they ascend starting with the conference championship game to the national title game.
This is the beauty and luck of playing in a shitty conference, if indeed, you have an elite coaching staff and players that can raise their game once they play better competition.
U Miami and FSU dominated shit conferences in the 80's and 90's and then early 2000's for Miami again in a shit conference. They would run the table with uber talented teams, occasionally seeing a rare upset or loss to ND if they were on the schedule, but then play a home game in Florida for the national championship against some team from a much tougher conference.
Clemson is just the new U Miami/ FSU. Elite talent, low likelihood of regular season upsets against shit competition, and the ability to win the big game / games at the end of the year.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:18 PM ^
I’ll say this Muschamp has unleashed his inner Rex Grossman even though they haven’t connected.
Let’s hope Shea is taking notes and connects on a few.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:20 PM ^
As a bears fan, there was a brief time I thought Rex would be in the hall of fame.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:49 PM ^
2006?
October 19th, 2019 at 1:56 PM ^
September of 2006 to be exact. I really thought he was amazing. Turned out he had a million dollar arm and a 50 cent head.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:59 PM ^
isn't that jay cutler?
October 19th, 2019 at 2:03 PM ^
Here is a sad fact: jay cutler was the best qb the bears had in the last 50 years. He had all the talent in the world and ended up being perfectly acceptable. If only he gave a shit.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:18 PM ^
Ohio State is going to murder Wisconsin
October 19th, 2019 at 1:22 PM ^
Or maybe it's just college football and teams play differently week to week?
