Looking forward to seeing the Badger's new offense.  If anything Mordecai's talents will make Allen's job easier.

It's not going to be what most people are thinking.

Mike Leach is not in Madison. The new coach is a defensive minded one. He's gonna let the OC do his thing to a point. It's not gonna be an air raid. They will probably still run more than they pass. Why wouldn't they? The talent in the RB room is among the best.

There’s a chance we see why some fan bases have tired of the new OC

I'm confident that Fickell did his homework, and also confident that Fickell told Longo that he needed to dial it back a bit.

Tempo can be good, and bad. It needs to be situational and not constant.

Unfortunately for CFB Mike is no longer involved 😢

Know what's fun?  Picking 4 RBs for the all-time Wisconsin team.  Freakin' impossible.

The 4 QBs I chose are:  Bevell, Tolzien, Hornibrook, Stocco
Let me know if I made a grave error.  I didn't include Wilson because he just played 1 year.  Although I have Newton on AT Auburn....so should I replace Stocco with Wilson?
.
As for the RBs, I've got Dayne, Taylor, Gordon, and Ameche.  
Any opinions?

Brooks Bollinger at QB.

Montee Ball at TB.

Hornibrook.

I would also probably put in Wilson, but then I would have to pick between Stocco and Bollinger. I tend to be more favorable to Stocco, but smart minds can disagree about that.

Take out Horni for Wilson. Take out Bevell for Bollinger.

Ameche for Ball.

Ameche won a Heisman and left as the all-time leading rusher.  I try to include different eras when I can.  

Would most 50+ year old UW fans want Ball on their all-time Wisconsin team?

Bollinger had 1 season of double-digit TD passes.  Good runner, though.

I think I'm going to replace Hornibrook with Wilson.
Dayne, Taylor, Ball, Gordon.  I want to include Ameche, but Dayne and Taylor are automatic, Gordon averaged 7.8 ypc on 600+ carries(!!!!) and Ball had ALL the TDs.  

Wisconsin is like 12-deep on all-time level RBs.  
Has anyone ever seen Clay and Hill in the same place at the same time?

I'm sure I've said this before but Bollinger is my most irrational favorite player for a team I don't root for.  I loved finding out a crappy Wisconsin-Indiana game was on espn2, back in such days, so that I could watch him
