B1G Week Four
« on: November 08, 2020, 08:05:42 AM »
Standings:

West
Northwestern (3-0)
Purdue (2-0)
Wisconsin (1-0)
Iowa (1-2)
Minnesota (1-2)
Nebraska (0-2)
Illinois (0-3)

East
Indiana (3-0)
OSU (3-0)
Maryland (2-1)
Rutgers (1-2)
Michigan (1-2)
MSU (1-2)
PSU (0-3)

Games
Friday Night
Iowa at Minny, FS1, 7:30:  Might be an interesting game, if Minnesota has figured out how to play defense and Iowa and figured out some offense.  The winner still has an outside shot at the West, while the loser is probably done.

Noon
Illinois at Rutgers, BTN: Can Rutgers go even in the conference?  
Indiana at MSU, TBD: Something new, Windiana in a game they are expected to win comfortably
PSU at Nebraska,FS1: Two teams that need a win
3:30
OSU at Maryland, BTN: Sneaky good game - is Maryland the team that can give OSU's defense a big test?
7:30
Wisconsin at Michigan, ABC: Can Wisconsin get on the field?
Northwestern at Purdue, BTN: GAME OF THE WEEK

Wisconsin can most likely defeat the Wolverines short handed. So they might as well suit up this week.

anybody got a list of the players out for Wisconsin if they play this week?

can Mertz actually play this week as 21 days of first positive will be Saturday but his 2nd positive, the one that counted was like Monday or Tuesday and then all the other players were after him, those players cannot be ready to play

Does Wisconsin really need a QB?  I see little chance of Michigan stopping Wisconsin’s running game.

Michigan’s “speed in space” offense will largely consist of them running off the field after 3 downs.

UW's running game is not what it was last year.

thanks for the reminder, Mr. Obvious


The Nittany Lions have a lopsided edge in the stats matchup, but Penn State opens as a favorite by just four points.

UW will be without 14-15 players this week. Mertz could possibly play, but he can't rejoin the team until Friday. All of the guys who tested positive after him will not be playing. For many, the Sunday after will be 21 days.

What is your general feel about this game?  Just happy that the Badgers are playing or thinking more that this season is kind of a waste? 

Even if the Badgers lose this game with all of the players missing, I would still expect them to win their other games.  Then we get into interesting 5-1 Wisconsin vs. possible 6-1 Purdue or 7-1 Northwestern that lost to the Badgers.  I would think the H2H would give the Badgers the edge.

Very happy they can play again. I don't think they can win though. Too many players are missing.

States that covid cases for Wisconsin are down to 5; 3 athletes and 2 staff. But I don't have a subscription to see if anyone is named or not.
