Yep, we should hang 40 on these guys, Michigan is gonna take us down if our QB play doesn't improve.

I mean we can even pass vs 9 man boxes.

There's not too many teams in the country we'd beat today

I’m not coming to give a strong endorsement, but Chryst clearly is treating this as a bye week.

Taylor, Dixon, Jacobs, Ramesh (not sure) not playing with non-serious injuries right now. I think they’d all be on the field vs. Michigan or somebody like that. Edwards and Orr also seem to be out of the game on a lot of snaps.

Play calling is very conservative.

Now, that said...still playing like ****.

Also, it is pretty clear we’re boned without Taylor, though when James comes back he may be at least decent.

JAMO!

That's a pick 6
31-3 vs 20-10 type drop

One consistent thing when playing teams we’re heavily favored over. We REALLY miss a lot of plays to put the game away when up by 14.

After dropping like 4 consecutive sure INTs, we finally caught one.

I honestly expected more development from Hornibrook. He's still young, but he isn't good enough to beat great teams, IMO.

You could even change great to good.

Dangerous backwards pass to a tackle.

We can beat good teams because we have a good defense and our running game has been great.

OMG that call. Are you kidding me?

Looking at the college football landscape, I’m not going to complain about how we looked in a 20 point road win. You’ve got teams like Clemson losing to ‘Cuse, and Stanford needing a miracle fumble to beat awful Oregon State.

Anybody else watching this Penn State game? I’m having a hard time imaging a scenario in the Big 10 title game where we don’t get blown out by less than 21 points. They seem like they could beat Alabama.

If we make it that far I don't see us beating OSU or Penn. Hopefully the stars align and we catch them on a bad day while Hornibrool plays out or his mind.

Again, if we get there. Still have to best a couple of decent teams in the regular season.

Bad game and a win, I'll take it. I agree, I don't see us beating PSU. And we may drop one before we get that far. But we're 8-0 and I'm happy being undefeated.

Too bad they couldn’t beat OSU first.

Yea, the Badgers are lucky Taylor turned out to be this good because they have no big play backs without him. Shaw is horrible, bad vision, no shifty feet, and slow. Groshek is clearly better than Shaw, but he's not gonna break off 20 plus yard big runs either. Haven't seen enough of James to know exactly what he can do.

So we have to be in the top 4 now right?

I mean one team might jump over us but I don't see two.

I could see OSU jumping us. Outside shot of Notre Dame too. But yes, we have beaten every team in front of us. Can’t ask for much more.
