OT - Afternoon Games (open thread)

I hate Iowa's offense.

Wisconsin's schedule the last and next few weeks:

 

At MSU, At UM, home vs OSU, at Iowa and home vs Nebraska

 

That's a BRUTAL stretch

So glad Michigan is back today. Bye weeks are the work of the devil.

It just struck me that I've become so accustomed to seeing Big Ten teams play on FieldTurf that seeing a grass field like Northwestern's jumps out at me.

How many conference teams still play on grass fields?  Northwestern, PSU, Purdue, MSU - is that it?

Think Wiscy rolls today in Iowa City. Also think K-State may keep the Charlie Strong nightmares ongoing.

Chryst either has great eyes or he has about 3 plays to call from.  He wrote his callsheet on a post-it.

Wisky's run game looking solid.  The way they played last week and the way they're looking already today makes me feel good about what we did.

Why would you pass??

TD gophers

Not good Bob start for Wiscy.

Northwestern strikes first over Indiana.  This could be a sneaky interesting game.

Wisconsin: Should have ran it on 3rd down and also gone for it on 4th. 

6 minutes left in the 1st quarter, Gophers 7, Rutgers 3.

Rutgers scores!  That makes two quarters in a row for them!

Chris Ash is doing strong work behind that Garden State Fence, I tell you.

Iowa is a very complicated team. They had to score a TD late in the 4th quarter to beat Rutgers 14-7. They beat Minnesota 14-7. They played RichRod type defense and gave up 35 points to Purdue. And despite the 1 point score, were badly outplayed by North Dakota State.

We should pound those guys but you just know they're going to play a hell of a lot better against us.

Iowa punting? I didn't even think it was fourth down. Receiver should have reached the ball out.

Chicago's big ten team go

NW rolling Indiana early. 14-0

Still one of the most beautiful women on the planet.  Sigh...

So how exactly did Illinois State, an FCS team that is 3-4, hold Northwestern to seven points?

Good thing Clements wasn't healthy when we played them, would have lost - per the announcers....

W will have a lot coming back next year.  Senior starters are Clement, Wheelwright on offense, Biegel, Shelton and Musso on defense.  They need some easier touchdowns though.  When they were great Clement and previous RBs were housing it from 70.

TD gophers. Game is over Rutgers cant win if the opponent scores more than 10

And Iowa gets hit with targetting on a missed third and 10 throw

 

EDIT:  Overturned

Another long Wisky drive stalls

Terrible call. Terrible rule.

let's see if they get it right

If that's targeting, there's basically no way to tackle a quarterback anymore.

Your head should not rock back that way.
