Wisconsin vs. Alabama - Saturday, 9/14/24, 11am Central

[CheezWizHed]

These split screen replays that keep switching too late back to live is annoying...

[CheezWizHed]

Locke looked decent last year... hopefully that throw gets him back into the swing here.

I'd like to see them be a little less conservative with the clock here. They look like they're desperately trying to just get to halftime down 14-6 or 14-3 instead of 14-10.

He has a problem with locking into where he wants to throw.  He doesn’t even look off.  That is going to be a problem.

High snap, high snap, high snap, high snap and another high snap.  I think this center would high snap even if the QB was under the center.

Locke is just too short.

[nate82]

Locke had an easy TD there and just over threw Pauling.

Time to go do something else. 

[CheezWizHed]

Well that was a sucky 3 play turnaround...

[adambr2]

I get wanting the points, but a 45 yarder is no gimmee in college, just a bad decision. In the NFL you're going for it in that area of the field with 3 to go. Of course if Locke connects on 3rd down it's all a moot point. 

Can't miss those throws, can't fumble the football, can't miss field goals and expect to have a chance against a team like this. 

[adambr2]

That was a predictable swing. Suddenly you look up and Bama covered the spread before halftime. 

[adambr2]

I was about to point out that the Wisconsin defense has actually played quite well and then they give up 2 huge chunk plays ans another 7 points in the time it takes to blink.

I think there's only about two more wins left on the schedule.

Yeah, they certainly are deficient at the skill positions, but they are playing closer than the score.

Sorry. I broke it.  Its been raining off and on at my house, so my regular plans are a wash. So here I wait...

[RedStickBrew]

Did Barry Alvarez call plays on that drive?

Clearly a staple of air raid offense is run left on every play

We even ran out of the I formation with the QB under center. 

[nate82]

Another easy throw and Locke over throws by a lot.

[HarryDoyle]

Goodness, Locke. Even Mertz could've completed that pass.

I’m not impressed at all by Fickell & his coaching staff - especially Tressell as a DC 🤮

Defense has been fine it has been the offense that has been extremely bad.  They need better defensive linemen as they are asking their linebackers to do way too much.  As the game goes on the linebackers start to make mental mistakes as they are getting tired.  Just way too much being asked of the linebackers.  

Locke is not a starting level QB.  He has no clock and just sits in the pocket.  He can’t even complete wide open passes to a receiver that had no one around them within 5 yards plus.  

[nate82]

Starting to sound like a broken record but Locke is horrible.
