Yep BB is the coach of Illinois. The Golden Corral buffets must be good in Illinois to lure him there. Illinois is pretty bad right now but I think we can say the same about UW.
Mertz is practicing and is expected to play
Sounds like Ferguson is going to play as well.
Another bad pass that anyone of a dozen of our QBs could have thrown…and did
Mertz at the half: 3-9 15 yards and a pick.
Mertz is fucking terrible
Allen and Chez running well
Half way thru the 3rd and Ill has 34 total yards?? Way to go Bert. We'll never forget you.
Illinois is really bad
Allen and Chez nearly 300 yards. I think we have our thunder and lighting combo. Problem is, Mertz is a goddamn skittish hot mess at QB.
If this team had a Stocco or Tolzien this is a 10 win team
I think you have to give Allen more carries. It gets later on in the game and defenders aren’t going to tackle him.
Mertz has gone from a half second late on his reads to a full second late on his reads.
Maybe it’s as simple as these guys come to UW thinking they can put up #s and get a shot at Sunday’s, but as soon as they are passed on the depth chart they bail one way or another. The Badgers have had 2 RBs get dismissed from the program and 3 enter the transfer portal the last 2 years. Julius Davis’ father is now taking to Twitter, and though he’s since backed off on his initial comments, it would seem that the Badgers are not getting the recruiting right at the RB position.
You saw it on Saturday with Allen- a whole different level of size and speed. Are the Badgers recruiting the right guys? A true freshman and a transfer are your best options? They clearly did not get the right guys between 2018-20 with so much roster turnover at the position.
Allen is a big time player. I mean, the kid is what, 17? He’s a freak of nature. He committed to UW early on but he could play for many big time programs.
Chez Melusi played for Clemson but got lost in the shuffle and you can see why he gets touches. He’s shifty, plays fast and physical, and is a high effort guy.
Berger was a highly touted guy in his own right but really was never a good fit. His strength was catching passes and he was never going to play physical or tough enough to make a difference. I’m sure he was also annoyed when they handed the starting gig to Melusi and then also announced Allen was moving to RB. Clearly, that should have been the case from day one.
This is the classic case where Berger could have approached the team and asked to move to WR, but I think he was butthurt about losing his job when in reality he was never that guy to begin with.
I’m guessing the Badgers were hoping Allen was going to redshirt. With seasoning starting next year he’d be ready to pop- which I think that is what’s behind the Mellusi signing- he was meant to be a bridge- give a 17 year old early enrollee a chance to learn the offense and get settled, then unleash him in 2022.
It’s really possible that Brown came on board and was honest that what these guys that are gone are bringing isn’t going to cut it.
What difference does any of this make since this year is already a wasted year?
Does anybody believe Iowa is the 2nd best team in the country ?
So the mascot is going to beat Iowa?
Iowa losing to Purdont is a fucking joke
