Going to be a tough game today for the Badgers. No Beckum and Michigan State can really run the ball.

Got mine in just before you. :)

Go ahead and lock mine MD. I said in mine that I can't believe Hill is starting over Clay. Even worse is they were running stretch plays for him. The guy is barely adequate going up the middle, he's terrible going east to west.

Yeah, Hill has zero big play ability, and that is my issue with him. Clay has size and can also break the big play.

Without Beckum, the receiving options for the Badgers are lacking.

Oh yeah, I was talking to one of my friends last night who's cousin is on the Badgers, his exact quote about current frosh QB Curt Phillips, he's "twice as athletic as Donovan". That is an impressive statement. Hopefully he at least gets a look next year, not a fan of Sherer.

Looks like backup TE Kendricks broke a bone in his foot. Man, we are thin at receiving threats.

Nice TD drive there, Sherer to Graham for the TD.

Great job of gaining field position. Leads to a touchdown. What a play fake by Sherer. Graham was wide open.

Hill is brutal. Instead of running hard on 3rd and 1, he decides to do a tap dancing routine before running the football and gets stuffed for no gain.

Bielema is just as much to blame for continuing to play him.

Keep knocking on wood, but the Badgers defense has done a fantastic job on Ringer so far.

Clay has owned this drive. It's amazing how he gets so few carries. What the hell is Bielema watching when he dishes out playing time?

Clay >>> Hill.

God, we should be up by more than 4 points in this game. Can't finish drives for isht.

Total yards UW 350, MSU 208, yet only up 4.

Edit: and Clay promptly shuts me up.
