Wisconsin vs. Oregon, Saturday 11/16/24, 6:30pm CT

[LouisEly]

Maybe their toughest challenge yet, but Oregon is only 56th in the nation in rushing yards per game.  UW is averaging more rushing yards per game than Oregon.

Oregon is 15th in the nation is passing yards per game, but UW is 5th in the nation in passing defense yards per game.

Arguably their weakness is also UW's weakness, and their strength is UW's strength.  Likely a repeat of Penn State and Alabama where they hang for 3 quarters, but it's about as favorable of a matchup as they can get for playing against the #1 team in the country.

I don't think it's close for very long. 

I'll be surprised if Oregon's not up by at least 10 at half.

[yourout]

I'll be surprised if Bucky even scores 20 points.

First things first, let's see them accomplish some positive yardage.

It's Roseanne Barr level ugly right now.

20 points??? With Locke at the helm, Oregon’s 3-0 lead might hold up. 

[AKCheesehead]

FIRST DOWN WISCONSIN!!!!!!!

Shocker isn't it.

[AKCheesehead]

I hate holds like that.  So obvious, they'll get you every time for that.

[nate82]

Locke seriously? That is a peewee football throw and you throw it 10 feet above his head?  

[nate82]

One easy pass that should have scored a TD and one medium level difficulty pass for a first down.  The problem with both?  You guessed it an inaccurate throw by Locke.  This team would be 1000 times better if Locke is not the QB.

[yfinn6]

Longo is bound and determined to beat Oregon by throwing the ball. 

[adambr2]

It’s crazy that this program been unable to find or develop a quality QB for essentially all of time. They are almost like the Chicago Bears of college football. If they had anything resembling a blue chip QB, they’d be a perennial top 15 type team.

[AKCheesehead]

HECK YEAH!!!

[nate82]

Finally some good throws by Locke.  What is confusing is how bad accuracy wise Locke can be on some easy to medium difficult throws with very little to no pressure.

The running game wasn’t working early so something had to change.  It is working so far and they have ran the ball better since going to the pass more.

[AKCheesehead]

Get a TD here and the Badgers really have a shot at this.

[adambr2]

The coolest play ever that won’t count.

Came a little too close to getting nothing, so I’ll take the 3.

[LouisEly]

I think they had called a QB draw, which is why the OL were downfield.

[nate82]

Other than the first few drives the offense has been on point this game.  The passing game has opened the run game a bit.  The LB’s and safeties haven’t been able to crash the line of scrimmage as much.  The OL have also been getting a good push since about the 2nd quarter.  Hopefully they can keep this up.

I think that's a bit harsh. They haven't put anyone into the NFL who's a superstar but they've had some pretty good college QBs since the 90s. 

[yfinn6]

There's going to be some real play action opportunities here for UW. Offensive line has looked much better. 

[HarryDoyle]

That 4th down conversion will be the turning point in this game. This should be all Oregon in the 4th quarter.

[adambr2]

That 4th and 9 that they couldn’t stop is going to end up being the chance that they had to win the game.
