Listening to a podcast this morning that said every Big Ten QB is either bad, hurt, or Jayden Maiava.

I'd submit Aiden Chiles

This far into the season, there are probably a few that are bad AND hurt.

I have to figure out the Iowa game next week. There is an in-state football game that I had wanted to go to. But it’s not a short drive and I don’t know if i’m going to feel up to it on Saturday morning.

I guess it’s a good problem to have. I’m a little sad to lose a noon game because they are the best for the local watch parties.

It is still weird to get a feel for this Wisconsin team because the defense is just flat better than I expected, and the offense is still sludgy.

 But winning beats losing …

His throwing and pocket awareness are still pretty substandard, but he is being a gamer. I kind of wonder if they like the backup if they just try to give him a more modest deal in the off-season and let him walk if he doesn’t take it.

They like both backups, and they like O'Neil too. I think they could live with those three, plus Sorgi coming in.

Also, I think they trying to talk Carter Smith into a position switch rather than lose him. I cannot confirm yet. Great athlete. Shades of Tanner McEvoy.

#2 BYU traveled to Florida
#7 Ole Miss Traveled to Texas
#8 Texas Tech traveled to Concy
#11 Vols traveled to South Carolina
#15 Iowa traveled to Minnesooota
#16 USC traveled to Wisconsin

It's tuff to win on the road, especially crossing long distances and time lines

I wouldn't expect you to be familiar with this, but amazingly, LSU was not on that list, @AU.  

Jordan-Hare is usually a house of horrors for us, even when we managed to escape with the rare W.

I don't know what to say about this bizarro-world where we haven't played Florida and had a fairly clean game on the Plains.
