Bad QB play comes back to haunt the Badgers again.

[HarryDoyle]

Over the decades we have witnessed a lot of bad quarterback play and Locke somehow stands head and shoulders above the rest.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

That chop block really robbed everyone of a very exciting finish. Too bad.

Words can’t describe how bad that last pass was. The odds of this guy having the ability to lead a game winning drive are slim to none. 

[nate82]

The Badgers should be up by 1 if Locke makes an easy throw earlier in the game instead the Badgers only got 3 instead of 7.

[homer]

lol putting it the hands of your punter instead of the Heisman caliber qb

[adambr2]

Um. Alright.

Massive 3rd down conversion but of course we get called for a couple phantom BS calls. Can’t beat the #1 team and the officials. 

I'm sure there will be some type of statement from the Big Ten... not.

[adambr2]

Fitting finish. Locke sucks.

[young guns]

Wow.  Just wow.

[homer]

yuck. I don't think Locke is very good but Longos offense doesn't really do him any favors.

[owbc]

They had no fear of us scoring again, and they were right. 

[LouisEly]

Oregon is 2nd in the nation in passes tipped/batted down at the LOS.  They're coached very well to get their hands up at the right time.

[HarryDoyle]

That didn't have a shot of being completed anyway. The intended receiver couldn't have been covered any tighter than he was.

When you over throw a wide open receiver by 10 feet in the air there really isn't an offense that is going to do you any favors. 

[adambr2]

We made it interesting I guess. Let’s be honest winning or losing this game makes no real difference in whatever bottom of the barrel bowl we get invited to anyway.

the receivers have an option to break off routes. I think Locke thought one thing and the receiver thought another thing.

 

anyway the old I get the less I like saying a college kid sucks. he's not that great

We’re still good with that verbiage on the pros getting paid for the job though right?

True.  But personally I don't care that much about bowls anyways, at least the mickey mouse ones.  I care about conference play and beating rivals.

The one I am talking about is the one where Walker is running all alone into the end zone wide open.  Locke had no pressure coming and absolutely air mails the ball above Walkers head.  It was an easy pass and would have resulted in a TD.  That was the game winner right there instead of 3-pts it should have been a TD.  Locke is absolutely horrible and should not be the QB going forward he can’t even make the easy throws.

This year's not over with yet.  The Badgers still play Minnesota.  That game, for example, means more to me than whatever mayonaise, potato, snack food, lawnmower or  income tax service bowl they might be fortunate enough to find themselves in.

[SomewhereInTime]

This was a good response after getting manhandled by Iowa two weeks ago.

Hopefully none. That would be embarrassing for the state of Wisconsin to see the Badgers in a bowl game this year. Except maybe the Toilet Bowl.

Kind of why I just don’t really get very emotionally invested in college football. I enjoy the Badgers, sure, if it’s a good game, but winning or losing doesn’t really feel anything like when the Packers or Brewers win or lose.
 

You have to essentially know your role as an NCAA program in college football. If you’re not a blueblood, you play for rivalries and the consolation prizes like the Paul Bunyan axe, not national championships. It’s hard for me to get psyched up about stuff like that.

Absolutely more power to you if you can, though.
