Nice job by Hornibrook. Now lock it down D.
Dare never breaks tackles. Dances to much too. But he is smart, can catch and didn't fumble.
Georgia St. has been stout against the run all game long. I dont think the Badgers have had a 10+ yd run all day.
Wow, close call. Now bring on the B1G...and please pay Horni.
Down goes Iowa!
I assume you meant play Horni. You must really love the BIG TEN.
Didn't get a chance to see the game since travelling for work but looked like a close shave.
Quick look at stats appears their QB had a pretty good day. Or did our DBs struggle - not sure.
Thankfully they pulled it out and looks like we may see more of Hornibrook
LOL. Yes, they are so cute.
Iowa looses to an FCS team? Awesome!
Louisville gouging Florida State.

There goes the Badgers RPI.
One more reason to hate the Hawkeyes.
Iowa goes down - that's always nice
ND State is no joke - but wasn't Iowa at home? If so that's a WTF type of game. Couldn't happen to a better team.
Well, obviously things changed as soon as Horni came in. He's the antistave throwing catchable balls to guys in stride. Take the win, own who you are and prepare to beat state.
Bobby Petrino is a total sleaze but man that guy can recruit and coach. Complete ass kicking of the Noles. Wow

I assume this means Kirk gets another extension this week
Time for the 5th year Senior to hold the clipboard. You can't afford to waste talent on the sidelines.
Houston just seems to be too erratic. Hornibrook is smooth out there. He's not real mobile, but it seems like the placement and touch on passes is very good. Given our WR group, I would say that's pretty important.
I still say start Houston at Michigan State next week. See what happens. Sometimes a coach brings in the back-up young guy to just shake things up - change the mojo of the game. Horni looks very good, however. But, first B1G game of the year AND on the road. Start Houston.
I agree 100%, except start Horni instead of Houston. The rest is spot on.
Houston was a hot mess today. He's all over the place. Hornibrook got the whole thing going with accurate in the intermediate areas. That sh*t was there the whole game, but Houston couldn't get it to the receiver on target.
The only reason you start Houston is if you fear that the opposing defenses will be able to confuse Hornibrook with false pressures and disguised coverages. But Houston gets a quick hook as soon as he misses a few targets.
It was weird....the minute the frosh stepped onto the field, Bucky seemed to perk up, and the tempo changed. Houston is NOT a very good QB. JMHO. 
and yikes Michigan State is looking pretty d*mn good.
Relax.
They're playing Notre Rated.
Have you got a link to a web-site that I can get these scores?
OK. Just scored..... Ohio State 28 - OK. 17. I'm watching on tv....it's on Fox. and Michigan State/ ND is on NBC. I'm just flipping back and forth between the two games. The Ohio State game started two hours late due to rain.
I gotta get cable.
I just get Florida stations.
Lot of citrus-related news.

Agree. That is what I had meant to mean with my post. 
I don't start Houstave because I cannot trust him to convert the plays that will win/lose the game. I'd rather risk the Freshman. Call it a Favre decision- Holmgren was really debating Brunell versus Favre until he correctly realize zed Favre's going to make more plays.
Houstave is simply not a very good QB.

I think Dare had an 18 yard run on that TD drive.

Houstave looked terrible the whole 1st half. I really wanted to like the kid and after LSU had high hopes. But you just can't miss wide open receivers like he does, not in the B1G.
Switching to a true Frosh at QB would be unusual for Bucky, but you just can't deny the production. The team seems to rally around him too.
And hell you cannot deny production. Especially with this D (I think they had a bit of a snooze during the 3rd quarter, but this is a top 10 D in the NCAA).
After watching the poor 1st half my main thought was, this is a top 10 D, but nowhere near O. We do need to get Fumagali back and Clement, but Horni certainly gives us a much better chance to win IMHO.
How will Horni perform under pressure? Not sure, but coming in when he did he seemed cool and calm, and he really throws a nice ball. That pick was definitely not on him.
Nice win! F'EM BUCKY!!!!

You know, that's a great point. The true Freshmen really came through today. Between Horni, that TE (pennington or something), Slay(or whatever, despite the fumble I like how he runs), and a few others, this team looks ready to stay at a high level in the B1G West.
With the hell schedule upcoming, **** it, let's just play talant and get them ready. They are playing the best and it will do nothing but benefit us for the future!
Houston had nothing to do with the win against LSU. Hornibrook is a QB. I always wondered what it would look like if the Badgers actually had a QB. His throws are spot on. The TD when he was rolling right was a play that a QB makes. Houston doesn't have that ability.
They need to break from tradition and play the better guy instead of the senior guy. Right now that's Hornibrook.
Tough game next week and the Spartans force turnovers like crazy which means I do not want to see Houstave

Houston probably throws a pick on that one.

The players know who the better player is.
