OFFICIAL Game Day Rose Bowl Thread....Da Badgers vs. Da Ducks

[Pugger]

Love the helmets

But the rest of their unis are horrid.

[Pugger]

I can't figure out of Wilson is going to be a starting NFL QB but height aside it sure seems like he has the rest

With the success of Brees height might not be the issue it once was.

[ThunderDan]

Bretsky-

The whammy is offically dead!

[Pugger]

completely mismanaged all the way through.. i feel sorry for these kids

This isn't the first time BB screwed the pooch with his lousy game management.

I hear Mike Sherman's available. *ducks*

[Pugger]

Beliema wasted two timeouts in 2nd half. He called timeout on a damn first-and-ten play on offense early in half.

B. needs to let somebody else handle timeouts. Maybe Bucky Badger.


The team played OK, Oregon has too much speed for them. Also, no pass rusher is killer.

Where have we seen that before?

BB screwed up in the Mich State game too.

[Pugger]

The TOs were dumb. Otherwise, I can't argue with game plan, execution, motivation.

Badgers played like well-coaqched team

Yes, but BB's game management skills leave a lot to be desired.

BB screwed up in the Mich State game too.

And the Chiefs game!

[Pugger]

even if he just starts running around without telling anyone anything they have a better chance at winning the game. definitely not putting it on that play, though... the abberderis fumble was the costliest given the timing but oregon was just too good to beat with so many small mistakes.

I had flashbacks of JJ fumbling in Chicago last season and the ball just laying there waiting for an Oregon Duck to fall on it.

[Pugger]

Using your selective comparisons, I'll add a few of my own

Badgers OL is Much Better than Oregon's OL
Badgers QB is superior
Badger has edge at TE
Badgers LB's are better overall

Badgers secondary had several blown Schottenheimer like coverages where they went the wrong way. Perhaps that was part of the A game you speak of ?

The biggest advantage Oregon had was TEAM SPEED. WI had no answer especially for their speedy offensive players. If Bucky wants to compete in these big bowl games they have to recruit speedy players too instead of concentrating on big bruisers to pound the ball behind behemoth linemen.

how does that not roll out of bounds or even happen to touch abberderis while he was out of bounds?? on the replay the ball was literally an inch from his swiping hand--too close!

there aren't many humans who run 4.1 like deanthony thomas... dude is otherworldly.

ahhh; it only works in the NFL

[Pugger]

Yes, but they had other speedsters out there too. That young man was indeed otherworldly. He must make NFL scouts drool.

you made a good point and i wish they would, im just not sure how many of those guys the badgers could recruit even if they were trying. everyone wants the fast guys... we gotta settle for the big farm boys. =/
