Sloppy second half
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Taylor has a really quite 150 yards in 3 quarters. Hopes he rips a 75 yarder before he sits.

That was a gift. Would love to see Taylor take this all the way 90 yards then sit.

I think they must have put in a rule a few years ago that DBs are required to celebrate an incompletion even if they had nothing to do with it.

Hornibrook...to his tailback. It's Taylor (A.J., the receiver.)

I don't have many rules, but gingers being banned from having mustaches is one of them.

I think he realized what he said right away, stopped, and then hoped no one would notice if he didn't correct himself.

We're better off running out of bounds or falling when a defender gets near us with how often we **** fumble.

LOL at WKU defenders not being able to catch Groshek.

The team looks pretty solid all around but I think the #4 ranking and playoff hype is going quite a bit overboard. I just can't look at this year's schedule and pencil them in to win all of those road games.

Defense was better than expected, offense wasn’t as good as advertised. If Horni doesn’t miss some wide open throws, this thing would’ve got ugly a lot sooner. If WKU finished some drives, this would’ve been a 4th quarter game. First game though, so you take the 30-Point win and stfu.

For better or for worse, the key to the entire season is Horni. Teams are going to stack the box, and he needs to make throws early to keep defenses honest.

Somewhere 140 miles East of Madison, this just happened.

Groshek is probably more of a tailback but I get the confusion because of — Nevermind.

I wouldn't guarantee they win out but it's definitely possible. This is the first game, Oline needs to get to game-speed and the rest will follow.

Hornibrook is still extremely underwhelming. Think he's going to cost the Badgers a game or two.

It's not where you start, it's how you finish. How much improvement will we have in the next 3 weeks ? 6 weeks ?
Last year our young receivers made progress when we needed it.
What happens this year ?

Couple of bad throws, a couple of bad drops, young receiving corp with Davis out for the first two and Cephus gone. Good to see Pryor and Ferguson get in the mix. The O Line was very disappointing.

Not worried in the least though.
