Not a big fan of dangerous 2 yard sideline throws on 1st and 10.

A touchdown would be great with this opportunity.

Those camera angles were awful. Did they not have anything looking down the goal line?

Oh well who cares, Bucky touchdown!

Don't know he got in. Didn't reach the ball out. Davis still could wind up the GOAT though. He makes incredible adjustments on balls in the air. Just throw the ball in his area and he's favorite.

AVG is a game-changer. That's back-to-back games. It wouldn't shock me if he went pro. He's got the look of a modern NFL linebacker, and I don't just mean because of the mane.

Should we be better or worst next year? We keep Taylor, which is the key, and we will hopefully have a normal wisconsin line. Who are the big guys we lose?

They lose a lot on defense. Alec James, Sheehey, Dooley, Jacobs, Tindal, Jamerson.

Never enjoyed watching my team play defense over offense like I do this badger team.

Lose around half the starters, but a lot of playmakers remain. With a few guys, like a couple OL, Nelson, and Edwards; it's going to depend on whether they can justify going pro or not. But the OL should be strong regardless. Hearing good things about potential replacements there. Also at tight end. Linebacker could go either way, but little chance it's worse than solid in this system and with some holdovers, plus those on the cusp. Maybe just not something to lean on. The CB position is a concern. Might need a true freshman to step up early or Nelson to return to not be exploited there.

Hated hornibrook this year but he seems to have gotten better and there's worst things than having a junior with a ton of experience battling for the QB spot

Love this receiving core. Just chuck it at them early in the play and good chance they'll find the ball and corral it.

This is the best WR core in years and none of them are seniors and they are without their #1.

Will cephus be ready for the opener? Basically only will lose Fumagalli of the skill positions.

I don't get the choice to utilize Nelson at returner, in spite of the one td that I can recall. He's not very quick or fast, and is quite passive. Fair catches a lot when he doesn't have to. And if he got injured that would be crushing to the d.

Looking forward to Pryor and Cruickshank handling duties going forward.
