Game Thread: Wisconsin @ Northwestern

You can hear individual people yelling in the stands. Sounds like a high school game.

Melvin Gordon's first run goes for 58 yards. That's never a bad sign.

Northwestern forces an INT in the end zone. Still 0-0.

 

[Smart]

Oh look, our quarterback still sucks. 5 picks on the year. I guess the good news is that Gordon will play longer if this game is close. With the way Tanner is playing, Melvin could run for 300 yards in a 24-21 Badger loss.

I'd put that one on the protection. He got blown up as he threw and it was like the WR and DB were playing 500.

He threw it straight up and deep. That's fine if you have Larry Fitzgerald. When your WR is a 6 foot tall White guy, that ball is more likely to be picked than caught.

Also, our defense is looking awful. No pressure from the depleted DL. The secondary can't hold that long, and they are being smart and taking our LBs out of this. Aranda needs to start blitzing and get them back in the game.

Yeah I know he did but he certainly didn't mean to from the look of it. He was getting popped and that changed the angle. You're right about the defense looking a little troublesome at the moment.

Defense has been amazing in the redzone all year. They do it again and hold the Wildcats to a field goal.

Time for the Melvin show. Expect to see Northwestern stack the box because they rightfully don't fear McEvoy's arm.

 

[Smart]

Northwestern has 11 guys within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage. But I shouldn't be worried about our passing game, right?

What a disgrace. If this keeps up for the rest of the half, they better go to Stave for half 2.

Northwestern takes 10-0 lead

 

[Smart]

If they don't pull Tanner, we are going to lose this game. It's as simple as that.

 

[GNG]

Wisconsin is way overrated in my opinion.

Anderson recruited that guy. Some of the blame belongs to their head coach.

 

[Smart]

4-10, 24 Yards, 0 TDs, 1 Ints. Against a team stacking the box with nine defenders. And with a running back averaging over 10 YPC. He goes: misses open receiver, throws the ball right at DL, misses open receiver.

How much clearer can it get?

Not watching the game. Is Gordon hurt? Box score says he only has 8 carries?

It's not like they don't have a QB. They have a QB who threw for 2,500 yards and 22 TDs last year.

10,000% of the blame lies with the coaching staff. It's ridiculous.

Anderson is in love with that guy.

No, he's fine. Hell, he's more than fine. He's the best RB in America.

It's just that Northwestern is stacking the box with ten guys and daring Tanner to beat them. And it's remarkably clear that he can't.

STAVE!
