Dude is a walk-on.

What's his story? Will he play rb for us? Why no other scholarship offers? Is the competition that bad?

Yes.

Reports out that Hornibrook is the new starter.

MSU -6. Seems slightly high if you consider the metrics of both teams, but it's a fairly reasonable spread.

Hopefully Hornibrook is Bollinger 2.0 the year he broke out against Ohio St.

So if the Badgers somehow win the next two, lose to OSU then run the table they are a shoe in for a playoff spot right?

Assuming they win the B1G Championship? I would say it's a guarantee. They would have 4 great wins, potentially 5 if LSU pulls their heads out of their asses.

It would be one of the better seasons by anyone in recent memory

Somehow forgot about the championship game. Really, we may be able to lose to Michigan and Ohio St and still get in by winning the title game, depending on how the rest of their seasons play out.

So the Badgers are #8 and they have to go to Michigan #4.

That's gotta be the biggest game at least for the Big 10 this week.

What's the story with these badgers? Are they good enough to beat or at least hang with Michigan on the road?

Can the D slow down Michigan? What are the keys to beating Michigan?

I'm wondering if my expectations are now going crazy high.

It's kinda nice there's no packer game this week. It's going to be all about WI vs Michigan this week, and deservedly so, they have earned the right to be the spotlight team in WI sports right now.

Michigan is definitely beatable. Colorado opened the game against them with a 14 or 21 point lead if i am not mistaken. The Badgers defense is the best they will face all year. I think it's close and WI can win if they win the turnover battle. early spread shows it as 10 point michigan favorite. I think its more of a 7 point game. If the badgers win, we can seriously talk about playoffs.

The spread is getting ridiculous

Just don't see how the badgers lose by 10 plus. It's going to be a defensive game. MI has played cupcakes all year and havent been truly tested.

Ron Swanson · Post #215 » by **Ron Swanson** » Mon Sep 26, 2016 4:21 pm

God it'd be so satisfying to beat them this year. **** Jim Harbaugh and his dumb khakis.

I think the game will be extremely competitive, but in regard to your statement that you can't see how they'd lose by 10+... the Badgers would get annihilated (ie much more than 10 points) if they came out like they did against Georgia State. So it could happen. They have to stay focused.

Kerb Hohl · Post #217 » by **Kerb Hohl** » Mon Sep 26, 2016 4:36 pm

I think it could be a competitive game and they could lose by 14 or 21 late. Harbaugh has been running the scores up this year. Or they could get down early and they aren't the type of team that's going to come back quickly leaving it as a blowout.

Colorado also lost their QB in the 3rd I think when they were still definitely in the game.

Colorado looks pretty good this year as well.

Houston started against Georgia St. and they also coughed the ball up on the goal line.
