Penn State proved that the Buckeyes bleed.
They aren't invincible. That was important.
Michigan might loosen them up even more.


Penn State really impressed me....their coaches figure a way even with a Freshman QB. PJ has a little easier job with Morgan, Johnson, Senior RBs.

I moved on quickly, and according to PJ, that's what the players did too
He said they were ready to play 10 minutes after that loss in Iowa. That's huge.
Shake it off, and get right back after IT.

Wisconsin's back-to-back losses against Illinois and Ohio State briefly knocked the Badgers out of Big Ten contention, but Minnesota left the door open with its loss against Iowa. The Gophers could still make a CFP case, though, with a decisive win here and an upset of Ohio State.
You like big, burly manball? There's plenty of burliness to go around in this one, though the most intriguing matchup will take form when Minnesota decides to pass. The Gophers are dynamite through the air, but Wisconsin has one of the best pass defenses in FBS.
SP+ projection: Minnesota 29, Wisconsin 28

They couldn’t stop the Wisconsin rush attack

Badgers would have won by more if they hadn’t fumbled some

And Morgans pretty damn stable at QB.
Wiscy's DBs better keep their footing.
I'd say its a horse apiece ... who the weather will help.

The weather could actually benefit our slant route passing attack. That is to say, Sconnie d-backs may struggle with it more than Johnson and Bateman.

Wisconsin is out a starting CB and a safety for a half for targeting....they will figure out a way.

Badgers had to resort to constant blitz in the second half to slow Purdue

Taylor is a great back

Long passes won't be there, but quick slants could take advantage of the elements.

Wind hurts the passing game. Bad footing generally favors the route runners.

Yep, and the slant passing depth reduces the impact of the wind.

However, Michigan fumbled inside the oSU 10 and the Buckeyes took over. oSU can't stop the Michigan passing attack, but Michigan can't stop oSU at all. Hoping for a large oSU winning margin so our victory over them will be that much more impressive.
