Going into this he had been arguably (but not necessarily: bc Haskins) the most efficient QB in the conference. He's low usage but had capitalized on those numbers. What he did against Iowa, for example. That was cold-blooded and had been his year. But this was a mismatch.
Efficient- hell yes.   When your offensive line and RB run over everyone, especially the lessor teams.
One of the best in the big?  I wouldn’t even tank him in the top 5,if I were putting together a team together my own team. 
Give me Haskins, or McSorley, or Lewerke, or Ramsey, or Thorson, or Patterson or maybe even Nate Stanley.
He is perfect for Wisconsin, at least until tonight,  where yes Michigan effected him, but he stunk even when they didn’t.

It's greedy, I know, but this drive is bumming me out. I wanted stats that showed more destruction than this.

Yeah, Hornibroom really struggles to get the ball down the field. The best way to attack Michigan is going down the field.

Going into this he had been arguably (but not necessarily: bc Haskins) the most efficient QB in the conference. He's low usage but had maximally capitalized on those few tries. What he did against Iowa, for example. That was cold-blooded and had been his whole year ... until tonight. This was a mismatch.

Whether Michigan wins out until OSU or loses in between, the best remaining question is how Michigan's pass D will match versus Haskins. It could potentially be #1 nationally v. #1 nationally.
As far as OSU passing game, UM already has one huge advantage; Buckeyes are already one dimensional.  
Michigan is very balanced, especially now with adding a true threa at QB on the read option. I don’t see them losing anytime soon, unless they just lay an egg somewhere.

I'd prrrrobably take Hornibrook over Lewerke, Ramsey and Stanley. Lewerke in particular is having a rough year. You'll point out the surrounding pieces though (OL especially) and of course that's correct. But because consistent pressure can get into a guy's head and ruin him, that isn't really a factor we should peel away. Lewerke has often showed signs of fear and regression this season (both relative to last year and as this one has progressed). It's been cumulative.

I have always felt you were too enamored by shiny things like stats.

I don't know about that. 
You can't just sit back there all day waiting for WR's to get open against Don's defense.
You have to go sideline to sideline with RPO IMO. 
Option football works well at times.

I will admit that. His arm is not strong. His efficiency is not as transferable to, say, the NFL. But it's amazing (in other games) within Chryst's system.

I am and know it. Which is why it's healthier to say it out loud than keep it to myself. Go on. Make fun. I enjoy deserving it.

Wow. That settles it. Joe Milton *actually* passed Brandon Peters on the depth chart. That's ... seismic. Expect a transfer.

Wisconsin hasn't been very competitive against the big three in the B1G East lately. 

Two years ago they lost to Michigan and OSU, then lost to Penn St in the Ccg. 

Last year they didn't have to play anyone and went undefeated, but then lost to OSU in the Ccg. 

Now they are getting creamed by Michigan, and will probably lose pretty bad at Penn St. I don't like their chances if they get to the Ccg. 

0-fer the last three seasons.
