First game of the Fickell Era; Buffalo vs Wisconsin Week 1

[edfunderburk]

Our Offensive Line & Punter look terrible 

[yourout]

This will likely be the worst badger defense in better part of a decade.

The loss of Jim Leonard is going to haunt them for a long time.

Horribly undiciplined.

[yourout]

Wow. Hell of a run.

[edfunderburk]

Mellusi looks healthy - amazing run 

[HarryDoyle]

Wow! That was one of the most impressive runs I've ever seen. Melucci probably should've been tackled three or four times.

I agree - incredibly impressive 

[Sixtolezcano]

Excellent read and tackle by Cheney

[DuWayne Steurer]

really nice read on the option pitch

[edfunderburk]

Looks like our Badgers are waking up here in the 3rd Qtr

It’s time - they won’t be playing Buffalo every week

[HarryDoyle]

We're starting to look like a ranked team now. Let's remember that this is a completely rebuilt program and it will take time to gel. Buffalo isn't exactly a cakewalk. If I were a betting man I would've taken the points on this one.

Colorado has 68 new players - all new coaches - a new offense & defense too

They won on the road against TCU - a much better team than Buffalo - that played in the national championship game last season 

Wisconsin has not played well at home today against a mediocre opponent 

I do believe it will take time to transition from their ground & pound offensive system 

Unfortunately, the schedule gets more difficult in the coming weeks so they need to improve quickly 

[HarryDoyle]

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

[edfunderburk]

I like mixing the run & pass

Colorado had the ultimate recruiting tool in Deion Sanders and have superior talent to the Badgers. I would venture to believe they will be a better team than us sooner rather than later.

lots of teams have new coaches and new systems literally every year.

I'm willing to bet that 99% of those programs were bad teams the year before and did not come out blowing the doors off their opponent first game of the year.

did you watch the Illinois game last year? 

[HarryDoyle]

This McNair guy sure does cramp up at the most unusual times.

Cincinnati was winning 35 - 0 at halftime today.

Luckily I didn't. Pretty sure I was out of town.

There's your 1%.

[homer]

For all we know, Buffalo is a good team and TCU is mediocre. 

[yourout]

Not sure what the record was for commercials in a non overtime game but it must have been passed early in the 4th quarter.

[HarryDoyle]

Is Mordacai really the best quarterback they have? That's two terrible interceptions today.
