well, lets see.
They got killed by both Alabama and USC. They then came out and killed Purdue and Rutgers. I watched a little of the Rutgers game and it was competitive until Rutgers got down and had to play catchup. When that happened, they fell apart.
A friend of mine told me the other day that you don't know what you've got until you apply pressure. When you have an orange, you don't know what you've got until you squeeze it.
But to your point..Wisconsin is a physical team that is well coached. Rucci may help as the team should rally around his homecoming. Weather could be a factor in Madison in late October.
Yeah, Wisconsin's wheels came off against Alabama when they lost their starting QB early. Immediately changed the tenor of the game.
USC, meanwhile, is...don't laugh...the best 3-loss team in the country. I mean, they're just a few ball bounces and zebra calls away from being unbeaten. Plus Wisconsin was leading that game by 11...in LA...at the half.
Rutgers had only one loss before being blown out by the Badgers while Purdue played a good Illinois team very close.
I realize...all of these facts plus a couple bucks will get you a coffee at Starbucks.
My point is that Wisconsin appears to be capable of putting up a fight against us...especially in Madison.
We'll see how they do at Northwestern this week.
Sorry, I'm one of those Nervous Nellies that some here laugh at. I just think we better go into Madison not looking ahead to the following week's game. I'm confident the coaches won't be...and will make sure the players aren't either.
