Noon Games Thread

He looks bad 

They have a small set of men and women sport programs.  They will not be added to BIG

Every once in awhile even a turd shines. So it is with Metz I guess. Just completed a 42 yard pass on the money. But I agree, Wisconsin just does not produce QB's.

I would say watching some ND games that their defense is not really that good. WI has a better D but not a great D. I think we can take WI next week.

This part worries me, clearly they look better than I thought they would so far in this game. 

Yep, agreed with this assessment. Wisconsin does look beatable, but this is not a team Michigan is going to be able to pulverize on the ground like a lot of other teams on the schedule. How our passing game compliments what we're trying to establish on the ground, and then obviously executing efficiently through the air, in my opinion will determine if Michigan has a shot at pulling off a victory in Madison.

If we're efficient at running play action and RPO out of the run looks we've put on film thus far, I think we can keep their safeties honest, and out of the box. The key will be to keep Wisconsin off balance with not only play calling, but also the cadence of play calling so we can keep the run game clean and operating at a healthy clip - in the neighborhood of 4.0 ypc. I don't think you can ask for much more than that against this Wisconsin run defense.

Easier said than done, and this will be Cade's first big test on the road as the starting quarterback, so he might look a little jittery early on. I do think our defense should be able to hold them off for a little while while the offense settles in, UW offense does not look very good.

It'll be a tough test for sure, but I do think there is a path to victory in Madison. Just can't let Wisconsin key in on our run game and bog the offense down and we should be in it with a chance to win.

I think we'd have to be able to throw it when needed to be considered in that group. 

I really think running the ball will be difficult.  Hope I'm wrong. We may find ourselves having to win a 16-10 type game ala Penn State/Wisconsin 

Your optimism is amazing.

Not sure I would say that just yet.  At least we aren't any worse from the looks of it.

You mean team......as in football team?

Don't match up with ND on schedule. We can watch and see how much better we are than Wisconsin.

Care to back up that claim with, you know, facts or something?

And that right there shows why he is a terrible QB. He can throw but that was a terrible decision, gotta throw that ball while he's open. Put then a 4th and 1 where they decide to run it and get stuffed. In a game of FG's, should have went for the 3 pts.

Yeah, but. . . nothing ventured, nothing gained. 

As a Ohio U fan

I thought this was a mythical thing.

Go Bobcats!! Except when playing the Hurons.

TA&M vs. Arkansas is the other one.

True, but just about any pass defense *could* be called PI.
