I was wrong. There is a good Horni. When he steps into his throws and is decisive.
17-9 take a knee no point in running anything else
That’s a 1st down. Kneel. Ballgame.
May get passed by some teams behind them even though the move ahead of the two teams that were upset

A win is a win but style points would not take the stink off of this one. Lots of stuff to clean up.
I was shocked to see Hornibrook throwing the ball more than 1 yard downfield.

Better to be teaching after a butt ugly win than a loss.
I hope Danny Davis is going to be alright. He is a genuine talent.
Let's talk about this one.......WTHECK??? Oh my, a win's a win. But come on......way to close for comfort and really why wasn't Taylor running the dang ball ALL GAME??? Ugh....not pretty, oh the first quarter was fantastic....3 points the rest of the game?? Really??? Wow. Just so happy they won.
Let's hope they got that out of their system. While the D and Taylor played pretty well, the offense and special teams did not and way too many turnovers and penalties.
I too wish they would have had Taylor in for more plays...it seemed he was platooning a lot with Shaw. I'm sure PC wanted to try and get Taylor the record, but he also knows it's a long season for an 18 year old kid and we'll need his explosiveness through November, too. So maybe they are limiting his carries/hits/etc. like they manage the number of pitches for a young pitcher.
Team record is more important than individual records. This team is

And you know, tying those other guys is fine. It probably reduces the glare of the spotlight on the kid (ok not much, it's going to happen, but some) and helps overall.

Other than the punt block, I thought the special teams were very good.
This team turns the ball over a lot. They need to change that real damned soon.
A couple of interesting articles from yesterdays game.
The not so chubby kicker has been solid but everytime AJ Taylor fields a KO or punt I cringe. Dude has difficulty hanging onto the ball.
Scouting report on Boilers should have prepped them for what they saw on the punt block. The Purdue player nearly grabbed the ball in the air it was flubbed that badly.
Hornibrook has made some really questionable throws the last couple of weeks and against better competition that won't get it done. We can't expect or assume 23 and the D to bail them out all the time.
Thanks for sharing, Ammo. Wow. I didn't think about that at all. This Defense is something special for sure. Yeah, the Purdue QB should not have thrown the ball....but he did...and we picked it to shut down that drive. Still, Leonard's defense makes plays.
Moved up to #5 in both polls. Actually playing for a national championship is in sight.
I will feel so dirty cheering for Michigan this Saturday but they have to beat Penn State for Bucky to have a realistic chance.
Playing for a NC? Slow your roll dude.
Right now both Penn State and Ohio $tate would beat UW by 10+
That can change by year end but Wisconsin is a distant third in the conference race regardless what the polls may suggest
If Hornibrook plays like he did against Purdue it's a blowout against

I'd like to see Hornibrook's stats based on where he's throwing to on the field. He seems to make strong, accurate throws when he's throwing between the hash marks between 5-15 yards downfield. It's really risky to rely on him to throw out routes or deep post routes, he just doesn't have the arm strength.
Without some threat of the deep ball or at least some quick outs, good teams won't have to honor anything outside the hashmarks and have guys that much closer to the middle of the field to stop the run.
