Semi OT: Oregon State Spring Game Highlights
I thought it would be cool to see what kind of opponent we will be facing in the home opener.
Main Observation : They are very, very fast.

Those guys were having fun. And why not?

Snow angels?
Should be rain angels for them.
April 19th, 2015 at 11:17 PM ^
Wait, there can be plural touchdowns in a spring game?
Mind. blown....
Well that was dumb of them - they obviously exploded their playbook and gave it all away.
I could see this game getting hairy...
April 19th, 2015 at 11:25 PM ^
but it could be a close shave.

We just have to pound our running game, go deep when necessary and score!
I am thinking that QB Collins is going to find out the same thing Sam McGuffie found out against guys who want to knock his head off if he continues to try jumping over people.
April 19th, 2015 at 10:01 PM ^
For a split second I thought #4 was going to stick the landing on that first play. They seem to have plenty of athletes.

I don't think most people put much stock into these spring games for that reason. At least I don't.
April 19th, 2015 at 10:43 PM ^
Great game for our Running Game to get its feet wet.
April 20th, 2015 at 12:17 PM ^
The offense looks fast. The defense looks....not so fast.

It was all CGI.
The video is clearly sped up from live action.

They had a very bad defense last year.

If you go by NCAA stats Wisconsin had the #1 defense in the country going into the Big 10 championship game. (or the week before, i.e. week 11 of the regular season).
Now there are warts to just using that because all it is is yards given up per game so with the horrid offenses in the Big 10 by and large it inflated every Big 10 defenses stats. But with that, even on advanced metrics (which tries to adjust for competition, SOS, etc) Wisconsin graded around 10-12 nationally and was vying with PSU for #1 or #2 in the conf on almost every stat in 2014. Their young DC is very good and is going to make a fine non P5 head coach in a year or two IMO. (New coach at Wiscy retained him).
And Andersen went to Utah and scooped away their quite good DC for Oregon State, from Whittingham (his former boss)

FEI has Wisconsin's defense at 23 (2014) and 13 (2013) for Anderson's tenure. They ranked 12, 49 and 33 in Beliema's last three seasons.

Glad that Coach Harbaugh can keep control of his team and not having them act like a bunch of never-beens who act like fools after every touchdown and two yard gain.

Thought I was watching football and not some hippie interpretative dance program. If I wanted to watch a bunch of men makes fools of themselves dancing like some ninnies, I'd watch VH1.

You must have missed Michigan football 2014 and Dennis Norfleet....

Does anyone still dance (or sing, play an instrument, etc) on that channel?
April 19th, 2015 at 10:29 PM ^
Like Desmond Howard and his silly Heisman Poses?
April 19th, 2015 at 10:33 PM ^
You mean a split second pose by a future Heisman winner vs. a coordinated, 4th-grade quality, "look-at-me" dance.

the lamest comment i've ever read on this site.

They look somewhat fast, but my main observation was they look SMALL. Like every corner but one looked to be about Terry Richardsons build. I'm actually pretty certain that Delano Hill and Jabrill Peppers might be as big as, if not bigger, than their linebackers. That's a team where I could definitely see big runningbacks playing a huge part.
Not to mention the fact that I think the interior lineman could really get to that QB and he is a pretty small guy as well.
April 19th, 2015 at 10:36 PM ^
I noticed that as well. There linebackers might not be able to handle the Butt and the rest of our tight ends either.

Now I'm just a nobody posting on an internet board, but...it seems to me that there's no way an offense should be that much father ahead of the defense, especially with in the first year of a program. I'd guess, as others have already pointed out, that their defense is pretty bad.
Their offensive play makers did look fast, though.
April 19th, 2015 at 11:23 PM ^
Yep per physics there is no way an offense could be ahead of a defense this time of year. In any program. Read it here on the internet.
Reality is there D sucked last year by and large and they are generally a bottom third Pac 12 team. If you have to face a P12 team as a warmup this is about as good of a choice as any - especially considering they lost their QB to the NFL.
April 19th, 2015 at 10:39 PM ^
The first play of the game for one of the offense's goes for an 80 yard TD or whatever it was.. that is pathetic when the defense should have an easy leg up on the offense after going against it all spring..
They have a few nice looking athletes, but overall their defense looks horrific, especially the run defense..
LB's were never in the right spot and the corner's weren't great either
April 19th, 2015 at 10:39 PM ^
Reminded me of the Denard 2010 spring game. We know how that season ended for us and they do not have Denard. Mobile QBs have given me nightmares since I became a UM fan in 87. I think their D is slow. You can scheme O way easier than D, ask RR. Typical PAC12 (-Stanford) "track meet" team.
April 19th, 2015 at 10:53 PM ^
Didn't Roundtree have a 99 yard touchdown in that spring game? Man our defense was terrible.
April 19th, 2015 at 11:20 PM ^
Bottom line is if you score a million points, everybody thinks you're going to be great in the fall. If you score no points, you're gonna suck. In reality you're defense could just be really good or bad.

That first celebration of pretending to be a prize fish fish was a copy of the Icelandic team's recent version.
