They may still win this, but if they played a truly great team the Badgers would get blown off the field. Other than one year of Russell Wilson, it seems like QB is always the weak link. Why can't they recruit a 4 or 5 star guy when he knows he's going to be protected by some of the best OLs in the country, play with future NFL TEs, and hand the ball off to blue chip running backs?

I think it's the system they run.  High school QBs seem to want to play in those wide open, spread offenses where they throw all the time.  Just what I've seemed to notice.

Interesting point, but the NFL guys always complain they can't evaluate guys in the spread offenses, which don't work well in the NFL. 

But your point is well taken with Wilson as the example. He came in and was as good a QB as Wisconsin has ever had and still didn't get picked until the 3rd round (yet it was obvious in his first training camp he was an NFL starting QB).
