That was a great Iowa win….

It's the QB, but their stuck with him until hopefully Bowl Prep. Carter Smith would start next year so he's exactly what they need!!!

Badger fans are freaking out today just like Husker fans.

I think the only reason they beat us so badly was actually two reasons, 1. We didn't properly scheme for their rugged run game and 2. Their defense was setup to stop the run, and Locke can't take advantage of that. With a proper passing attack we could of scored three to four TD's, and with the proper defensive scheme they would of only scored two to three TD's, so the score would of been much closer. Also we gave the ball away on two occasions that led to Iowa point's.

Always add a top QB. Always if another QB leaves the program because of that oh well it's big boy football

Badgers and Seminoles need to realize they don't get a better draft pick by losing games.

The issue has to be scheme, player development and Qb. The badgers easily are just as talented as Iowa so it’s not that. They look like a team with an identity crisis which seems like the biggest problem.

In high school at least for Wisconsin, I would say 99% of kickers kick their FG's off of a block. A majority of them kick off a 2" block because they're not good enough to kick off the ground. The school I help out with has a kid kicked off a 1" block because he's trying to transition to college. You can kick off the ground, but most Wisconsin kickers aren't good enough to do it. They would rather kick off a 1" block because they want to be sure they don't mess up.

Thanks! Super helpful info

[@winninggambler]

pretty sad to lose like that to a totally one dimensional team, our lines are pretty bad both offensive and defensive and the coaching doesn't seem to be helping much, QB situation is kinda bleak

[@scottsmith6631]

Locke got sacked by DT Black.

I have almost zero confidence that they win another game.
