CJF showing his hops.... LMAO, that's awesome.

 

[LaJollaLion]

Clifford was 18-33 for 247 yards
1 TD, 0 INT

He rushes thing when under pressure which is difficult to watch. That said, he definitely deserves a participation trophy.

I was calling him the backfoot bandit this game. 50% of his throws were from his backfoot.

For referee complaints, fill out forms 23B and 12A in triplicate and submit to special consultants Alvarez and Witovet.

Sounds like the episode of MASH and they were trying to fight the Army red tape to get an Incubator

Wasn’t the last game at Madison when our guys were 24 point underdogs and won? I remember BOB’s locker room speech after that - you could tell he had saltier language to use but knew the camera was running.

Pretty sure he used it but kind of caught himself mid f...ers.
Edit: it was bobs post game Ithiught you were referring to.

JF does seem to have Wiskey’s number

 

[bdgan]

Stout 7 punts, 53.9 yds average

Have we ever had that?

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

I'm certainly hoping the offense gets it together. It certainly helps if the D keeps this performance rolling.

Clifford and the O line don't even deserve participation trophies for today's performance.

Huh??? Clifford had an awful game??? Were we watching the same game??? He didn't have a lights-out awesome game, but his performance was B+ at the very least (threw for 250 yards, completed 55% of his passes, had a TD throw and no interceptions). The reality is that he had a poor first half and a very good 2nd half - overall, at least a B+.

Piss off they won the game and got it dine when they had too. Enjoy the victory when so many times they have given it away at the end. They will improve.

They actually weren't "similar" - the b1g Cheaters called no penalty (or Targetting Review) on a CLEARLY ILLEGAL hit on a "Protected Minnesota Player" (act of catching the ball) that knocked the Minny player unconscious! While creating a "Review" and Penalty at the request of Wisconsin on a LEGAL HIT against an "Unprotected" (under the rule) Wisconsin Player! Since the Wisconsin player was not "Protected" under the rule, the only "Targetting Penalty" that can be called in that situation is "Spearing" (intentionally using crown of helmet as weapon) - it is impossible to have "Spearing" if the Crown of the helmet isn't used to make first contact! The PSU defender CLEARLY makes "shoulder-to-shoulder" contact as first contact and his head bounces upward and he makes "incidental contact" with Wisconsin player's helmet with the front of his helmet - primarily his facemask. That hit was not "Spearing" (i.e., intentionally using the crown of your helmet) and anyone who says it was doesn't know squat about the rules (which includes the b1g cheaters!). You can't have Spearing when the intended, AND ACTUAL, first contact isn't with the crown of your helmet!!!

I wish I could like this post 1000 times, spot on.

 

[canuckhal]

The main issue with the call I have is that the officials didn’t call it. The Wisky sideline and fans called it. Plus Metz went down on a knee and provided some theatrics to get the review and call. If he was so roughed up, why was Chryst putting a kid with a possible concussion back in the game?

And Wisconsin called a time out in hope they would review it.

 

[Parkland Fan]

Someone mop up the broadcasting booth. These two are making a mess all over the place.

Muted.. Listen to Ham and Jones.

 

[SLion]

**** the Ruccis - those jabronis are 0-1. Penn State fans at the Rucci

I turned my back on PSU and all I got was the douchy haircut.

 

[Nitwit]

In the last 26 Wisconsin home opening games their record is now 25 wins and 1 loss.

This game will haunt them all season. They were favored and in position to win and blew it. Where does their season go now? Their confidence must be shot. It’s devastating. Their fans will be crying in their curds all season long about the one that got away.

 

[Whiteout Lion]

I noticed that we did not use the Tight End, which was very disappointing. Does Yurcich not use the tight end in his game plans? The offensive line is still a disaster. Clifford did show that he can air the ball out when he has time to throw.

Tried the tight end at least two times that I can remember. Thought both times in the red zone. Could be wrong though. Agreed on offensive line. Just can’t seem to move anyone off the ball.

Brisker got a little vertical for that one.

 

[Parkland Fan]

Hey Boys, I know it's not over yet. But no use going to the cardiologist. Our hearts just passed our annual checkup!!!!

Hell, not the annual checkup. I just passed the first game test since open heart surgery.

 

[Madsol]

Sounds like the episode of MASH and they were trying to fight the Army red tape to get an Incubator

"Give me an incubator or give me death!" 😀

 

[HazletonLion]

WTF! We all see that the plays are outside!

Two different halves, working the perimeters better in the second half. Wisconsin's front was tough against the run.

Mustopher was great today.

 

[marshall23]

That's probably Franklin changing the play.

LOL

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Muted.. Listen to Ham and Jones.

Just curious, what - if anything - did Ham have to say about the way the b1g cheating clowns handled the Brooks hit (and huge 3rd down stop)?

 

[marshall23]

LOL

Save that for when the QB runs

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Shout out to strength and conditioning. Ninety-five plays on defense and only 10 points given up. No evidence of being tired. What a clinic!

The second half offense is encouraging but I don’t think Dotson will be allowed to run anywhere near as free against our remaining big time opponents.

Unfortunately Shaun Wade graduated, so you may be right

 

[psuno1]

Dotson is a legit 4.33 he can take the top off any defense this year, should have had close to 300 yards to and 3 tds today.

 

[Obliviax]

I thought it was a close call, even on replay. Helmets definitely hit but Brooks initiated contact with his shoulder.

I think the penalty was called because the hit was so violent. I can understand if the official got caught up with the impact and made the call, but the penalty was called on replay where emotion shouldn't be a factor.

Home field call

 

[lazydave841]

They sold out for it. They knew our O was going to struggle. New coordinator, first game on the road. Credit them for an aggressive game plan.

What they didn't know was we were going to adjust. He also didn't know his QB was going to have trouble with hand-offs. Sophomore slump, even if he's probably a freshman because of COVID-19.

 

[PSUcup1]

Having Zero turnovers won this game for us IMO. Credit to Clifford and the RBs there!!

 

[Nitt1300]

Win the opener on the road against a favored, ranked team and we still have people bitching and whining- what a shitty fanbase we have become.

 

[Parkland Fan]

What a defense. What a win.

An ugly win but who cares. First game on the road against Wisconsin is always going to be tough. Proud of the D.

It was a beautiful win!

 

[83wuzme]

Some questions were answered today. Ebiketie is as good or possibly better than expected.
Tangelo is legit. Tarburton has good instincts. Brooks was playing well below his ceiling last season.
Brisker is as good as advertised.
Cain is able. Dotson is in the same category as Hamler. Our OL and QB need some work.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

JUST WIN BABY!

My favorite clip besides the one of Jack Lambert throwing Cliff Harris down in Super Bowl X

 

[MacNit07]

If they're gonna throw you out of the game anyway, take the QB with you.

Yeah - too bad that was not Brandon Smith delivering the blow…the Cheeseheads would be calling ND to send that stiff Coan back!

 

[MacNit07]

Why is PSU throwing the ball ?

Horrible play call…if Cain drops it, then Wisconsin would have a timeout to work with…nothing we have not seen before.

 

[MacNit07]

17 held

Tackled

“Some”?

 

[BrucePa]

Anyone see what Iowa is doing to Indiana today? Playing Iowa could be very scary without an offense.

Agreed…as good an effort as you will see…superlative…could have easily quit.

 

[MacNit07]

I wonder how much pull alverez had in scheduling that game to give the badgers a leg up in the polls with a win.

Seated right next the the super-incompetent Warren!

 

[RickinDayton]

One first down?…Oy!

Our poor D guys can only hang on for another quarter before they start breaking down.

Come on O at least give the D a real rest.

And remember, Wisconsin receives to start the 2nd half. More pressure on our defense.

I was calling him the backfoot bandit this game. 50% of his throws were from his backfoot.

I said that several times. Reason hevwasn'tbaccurate. That tells me he is uneasy under pressure. This is his M.O. At this point in his career, itbisca bad habit he isn't kicking.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Kid’s looking small. Time for Wisky to do what they do best - pump that kid full of HGH, Dianobol and cheese curds
