Houston named the starter.

I'm curious to see how much of the Gary Anderson stink Chryst can wipe off of Houston. With Voltz down, the line gets thinner, but really the biggest question marks on offense are QB and WR. Defense should be spectacular even without Aranda this year, that linebacking corp is amazing. I'm hoping for a significant cold front to move through dropping the temp into the 40's for this game.

I really worry about the OL which is something I don't normally say but this year I am.

QB? meh it will be the same as usual with UW it will how well he manages the game and if anyone can get open.

And it is killing me I cant be home in Wisconsin for this game.

Bert, I think that was his name, was also pretty popular in Green Bay.

I wonder if Chryst has a little sum-sum for Aranda... You would think that Aranda's D with the improved talent up front would be pretty dominant, but Paul's no slouch... That chess match should be a fun battle to watch.

What I notice is alot of underclassmen.

Bodes well for youth and growth for next year. I don't have high expectations for this year, but I have high hopes!

The Badgers typically exceed expectations when not much is expected of them - and that's definitely this year.

The front seven on D should be very good. Clement, when healthy, is a difference maker. I like our two starting corners and in a Chryst offense you know the TEs should be decent.

WRs, OL, and QB are question marks and that's going to determine how well the team performs overall. It's a shame they will be put to the test right away as the LSU D might be the best they face all year. They will need to grow up pretty quickly.

Talent at Oline is fine, depth is the problem.

Why we still have the ghosts of Bielema holding us back from talent at WR is beyond me. I assume Jack Popp will be amazing some day since the program really only develops walk on WR.

Wheelright has all the makings of a dominant WR but he's always hurt. Reggie Love has shown flashes but he is wildly inconsistent and seems like a knucklehead at times. Rushing and Peavy should contribute but to expect anything more than that is wishful thinking.

I am a lot more encouraged about the TE group.

Which is exactly why I have hope this year. It always seems that whenever they are taken for granted they have a great year. It is going to be tough that is for sure but if they can beat O$U (I live an hour from there) I am good with whatever the season brings.

They can play with these guys... No question. The team that turns the ball over will lose...

I think this is the year they can play with O$U. O$U is really young and only returning a few starters (maybe as few as 4) and they will be young and if not younger than UW.

I think they can have a decent year and they should be competitive. LSU will be tough but it's a home game and MSU is reloading and I'm not sold on Iowa one bit. Michigan and O$U will be pesky and they have to break the at NW curse at some point.

If they can split those 6 games I think that's a successful year. Beating LSU would be a great start.

I think beating LSU could be a game that would help this program big time. Sooner or later Bucky has to win a game like this right?

I don't mind Sports Center coming to Lambeau and picking LSU to win...they should be picked to win...but the part of the broadcast related to this game was all LSU, all the time.
