Wisconsin at USC, Saturday 9/28/24; 2:30pm Central

[homer]

these are two mediocre teams

[yourout]

Unless USC turns it over this is going to get away.

[HarryDoyle]

Great screen play by USC there. Would've been nice to have blockers like that on our third down play instead of asking the receiver to gain seven yards on his own.

[homer]

defense is gassed. this might get ugly unless they can get a to

[adambr2]

I wish we dialed up a call like that on 4th and 1.

[HarryDoyle]

Now it's over.

With Locke at QB?  He would have lost 10 yards on that.

Muffed punt was the turning point of the game. Huge swing. 

[homer]

would not surprise me if UW doesn't get the ball back

[adambr2]

Such a white flag move to punt near midfield down double digits with 7 minutes left. 

[nate82]

I really hate side arm QB’s.  So many batted balls if you don’t have the arm strength to get over the defense and to the receiver quickly enough.  Locke is like waiting for a balloon getting to the receiver when he has to loft the ball.  Just not enough arm strength.

[HarryDoyle]

Just overall stupid football being played and coached in the second half.

yep. "Let's lose by less!" 

[HarryDoyle]

Why not call a time out there?

[adambr2]

Well, now it's another blowout loss. 

[nate82]

There’s the horrible Locke pass.

[yourout]

Next week is the battle for the basement.

I was told the Badgers were going to be blown out?  Where are those posters now?

Turns out they were right.

[nate82]

Locke a few good passes in the first half absolutely horrible in the 2nd half.

Not really as it was mostly the muffed punt return that killed the Badgers.  Without the game is probably a little bit closer.

He’s thrown the deep ball pretty well, but his accuracy on short to mid throws is awful. 

[nate82]

So many dumb penalties.  Go from 3rd and manageable to 3rd and long.  Just poor execution on this drive where they were setup to score easily.

[wildcat83]

6 yard pass on 4th and 10…. Fitting end

Without the three turnovers by USC in the second half it's not close.

On a few passes yes but majority have not been.
