Badge & Honest Buckeye!  I made it over here....I wondered where in the heck everyone went...Ole Lardbelly
Very glad you made it over here. We lost a few people but for the most part it worked out OK. We need more to show up, for sure.

Here's me taking a shot at the offensive depth chart for the season:


QB: Graham Mertz or Jack Coan
RB: Jonathon Taylor, Garrett Groshek, Julius Davis
FB: John Chenal, Mason Stokke
WR: AJ Taylor, Kendric Pryor, Jack Dunn
WR: Danny Davis, Taj Mustapha, Aron Cruickshank
TE: Jake Ferguson, Beau Benzshawel
LT: Cole Van Lanen, Logan Brown
LG: Kayden Lyles, David Moorman
C: Tyler Biadasz, Jason Erdmann
RG: Jason Erdmann, Michael Furtney
RT: Logan Bruss, Tyler Beach


The OL is truly a 2-deep position group again. There are more names that I left off, who could also make a huge impact. The group is now as deep as it's been since Paul Chryst took over in 2015. The only position group lacking depth right now is the TE position. Things a thin there, but help is on the way.

My analysis of B1G HFA for Wisconsin from @ELA 's countdown thread:

Wisconsin:  The Badgers have a tough road game in Columbus but after that their next four best opponents all have to visit Madison.  If they sweep the home games against M, IA, NU, and MSU then they'll be hard to keep out of Indianapolis.

I think the game at Nebraska is going to be very tough. I know they are sick and tired of losing to Big Red every year.

you are right about the 2nd sentence

Several kickoff times announced. The opening Friday game at USF will be at 6PM Central, on ESPN. Of course, UW's home game against Michigan will be at 11AM. Thanks Fox. No really. F you.

Was hoping the Big Ten would return the favor with Arizona State, and put that game at noon, but nope, 4PM

well, someone made the stupid statement that the important BIG games would be in the 11am slot to get better ratings

Badge didn't want to pollute the Michigan thread with our glorious red goodness. But I'm just not that high on UW's WRs. 

That isn't to say they won't be good. They very well might be with another year. But I'm less sure at this juncture. They were supposed to step up last year, and even if you factor in bad QB play, many reports from games were that those dudes weren't getting all that open. 

Looking over all of it, I don't think UW has had a WR better than Alex Erickson since he left. I'd also argue the two best WRs UW has had since were Jazz Peavy, who was low-key quite good and just fell off the roster as a senior for some undisclosed reasons, and Quintez Cephus, who was quite good and maybe poised for more before possible committing real-life crimes. The group left is as follows:
-A.J. Taylor: He seems fine, decent. But feels like a No. 2 forced to be a No. 1. He's not been hyper consistent and has some drop issues.
-Danny Davis: He feels like the most talented guy and showed flashes as a freshman, but last year was mostly not there. Even if you trash the QB play, he averaged under 11 yards a catch. That's real bad. Hopefully he gets it right an becomes the No. 1 UW could use.
-Kendric Pryor: He's 5-11. Most of his big plays were jump balls for some reason. Was solid as a runner. Again, seems like a very nice No. 3 or 4 at best. 

Behind them, the next group had four combined catches from a 5-9 speedster, two walk-ons and a freshman who was redshirting. It could be a good group, but if the kid from Michigan, wanted to show up, sit a year and replace Taylor, I'd take him.

I think the Cephus thing really screwed up the room last year. Don't forget he and Davis were roommates. Seems like everything that could go wrong last year, did.

And ya know what? I do believe the Hornibrook rumors.

Are those all on the same network?  Or are just the 11:00 games on Fox?
Fox has made the decision to feature its marquee game of the day at 11:00.
The OU-Texas game will be covered by Fox and will be at 11:00.
