#4 Alabama (3-0) at Wisconsin (2-1) Postgame
« on: September 09, 2024, 09:00:23 AM »
B1G Noon Saturday.

The Badgers played one great quarter last weekend. Everything clicked like it's supposed to. And then it didn't.

That was South Dakota.

This week is not that.

I feel the Badgers are in big trouble but, I'm rooting for the upset

Some rumblings out of Madison that there might be some position changes coming. DL, LB and OL, and possibly RB.

Kids play differently when the lights come on.

If not for this game, I suspect the staff will use the following week (idle) to make changes.

Yup, there really are just "gamers" and you have to let them do their thing.  Major Applewhite was a better QB than Chris Simms and he proved it time and again on the field, but Mack never could get over how great Simms looked in practice.  And it's no knock on Simms, he was actually quite good.  But Major was even better-- in games.

Dooley once whispered that Herschel looked like a "big, stiff, fullback" in practice.

Very little change to the depth chart. Not great.

There are, but not a lot of them. 

And their numbers pale in comparison to players who are A. Lazy B. Guys that fans desperately wish were gamers.

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think this is going to go well for Wisconsin. They haven't looked as good as I expected so far.

I agree. There are good opportunities and bad opportunities.

Saturday is when we find out just how far Wisconsin has fallen since 2019.

I don't think Fick (or I or anyone else for that matter) realized just how much of a rebuild Wisconsin was when he took over.

Alabama seemed to struggle with USF until the 4th quarter, there could be some opportunity here for Wisconsin to show out and make a statement.
