I wanted to start this one out with a great matchup with Bucky visiting Ann Arbor for a night game in October.  This is why you go to places like UW to play games in big spot lights like this one.  Here is hoping that Bucky can beat them in a place they haven't been too successful at over the the years.  

Nothing would make me happier to see the look of confusion on Harbags face if UW beats them.

As for the game, I think this one is pretty simple and it is which QB plays better and who will make a mistake first.   UM's defense is supposed to be one of the best so now is the time for UW's OL to give Hornibrook some time and yes that still means he needs to complete the pass. 

I think the difference will be Michigan's QB not flinching against a young a beat up UW secondary and pulls out a win at home 24-9

This has the makings of an absolute ass kicking administered by Michigan.  I hate this matchup and even more so now. 

The Badgers are banged up on D.  Really banged up.  They can’t seem to apply pressure to the QB or stop the pass. 

Sure, I think they can score but this is a legit top 10 defense they will face.  At a place that good Badgers teams have gone to die.  Wisconsin simply does not win in Ann Arbor. 

If Horni and the offense play like they did against Miami the Badgers could steal one.   If they don’t?   It’s going to get ugly.   Like 31-10 Michigan like ugly.

The Badgers have to fire on all cylinders in this one if they expect to, or even hope to, come away with a win. It will be difficult to win if they cannot generate a pass rush and cover Wolverine receivers downfield. Here's hoping our DC comes up with a solution to our predicament, or it may be a long day for Bucky fans. I think this game will test Bucky's mettle and make them find a way to win. GO BUCKY!!! 

The good news?  Graham Mertz is probably the highest rated QB prospect to commit to UW and appears legit.  The bad news?  He’s a 2019 commit which means more Hornibrook for now anyway. 

The sad thing about this season is with all the hype and promise I could see 2-3 more losses very easily if they don’t play better.  They have not played a complete game all year and injuries have really gutted them.

You weren't.

Disappointed to see Hornibrook melt like this. Early on he looked like the real deal, great arm, accurate. But when you see him now, he stares down his receivers and if his first couple of reads aren't there, he's totally lost and has no clue where to go. I'm actually surprised that he hasn't been injured; he doesn't really step up into the pocket, just takes the hit and lets it fly. 

I can't say I am the least bit shocked with the game last night.  For whatever reason Bucky craps the bed when they play there.  I also think the defense did everything it could to keep them in the game especially how many injuries they have.  I just don't know what to say there is to say that others have about Horriblebrook.  Brutal is the only word I have.

There have been a number of good Badgers teams that have lost at Ann Arbor.  It’s a tough place to play and Michigan usually has a decent team.

What’s disappointing is they just got schooled.  I replayed some of the game today and the passing game was just brutal.  Hornibrook probably played the worst game of his career.  

It doesn’t seem to be their year, but they need to make a decision on the QB position.  They’ve had a national championship level D the last two years and he still couldn’t get it done.  It may be time to turn the page but I doubt they will. 

I totally agree on the QB.  They have to do something but I think they are stuck between a rock and hard place.   They have a guy in Hornibrook who at times looks ok then there is Horriblebrook we saw on Saturday.  Sure, Michigan's D is pretty darn good but they aren't THAT good so I think pretty much all of it falls on him.  

Now we will see what this team is made of.  Can they move on from this and play the way they are capable of or do they continue to pee down their legs?
