GT: Bucky at Purdue - 6:00 - FS1

"Can you imagine if Jonathan Taylor had a passing game like this to complement their run game?"

Um, he did. Coan was top-3 in the Big Ten in passer rating throwing to Cephus and Ferguson. The only thing keeping Taylor from 2,500 yards a year was the o-line, but I'm sure these announcers would say it was a typical great Wisconsin line.

This is not close, his toe is very obviously out of bounds.

Okay I think Hallman is probably a NFL guy

Good win on the road ! Not sure about this defense , not good ! A little inconsistent offense in the second half but overall pretty good . GO BUCKY !!!

[TroyD92]

Much improved game. Hopefully I’m right and the team is playing its best down the stretch. Still a ton to cleanup and the defense really lacks a playmaker.

Mordecai threw for 174 yards, ran for 57 yards and 2 TDs, and had 19 yards receiving plus the 2pt conversion reception. Pretty decent night for him

What you want to see from a team under a new staff and system is improvement as the season goes on. Tonight, while far from perfect, was an improvement.

[MVP2110]

I was really glad to see them get back to using Braelon between the tackles last night. 16 carries for 116 yards & 2 TDs is awesome. It was certainly something the offense has missed the first few weeks. They definitely will need someone to step up and be his #2 with Chez out but getting Braelon back to being RB1 should really help this offense going forward

[Kerb Hohl]

I wonder who the backup will be now for Allen. Mellusi was great in pass pro. I don't even know what they have behind Allen and Mellusi.

Entirely a guess: It was basically 50/50 before with Allen/Chez...

Allen 50% if he stays relatively healthy, ticking the number up later in the season if so.
20% Acker (next man up, kind of a FB/H-Back but came in as a RB)
20% Yacamelli (Fickell has mentioned him, would be the quicker one)
10% WR/gadget stuff like Pauling coming into the backfield.

One of those guys may step in and take it...but it's not an appealing list.
