Yeah no that is a dumb statement. Purdue, Iowa, Rutgers, Northwestern and Minnesota are all very winnable games. That is five games that are easily winnable games. Predicting only two wins from those five is just troll level of an opinion.
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.
Wouldn’t have mattered if it was from the shotgun or from the I that play was going nowhere. The offensive line decided to just ignore two players and gave them the gap.
I am not sure how much better Hoskins will be next year but it probably won't be all that much.
I think next year something like a slash line of .230/.330/.450 should be doable. Is that an improvement over this year? Yes but that is still a rather uninspiring primary DH numbers. Hoskins should be a DH only right now as his 1B defense is basically just a broom with a glove.
What really sucks about this game is that the Badgers have the CB's to play with Alabama and really with anyone. But the Badgers just don't have a defensive line that is going to make a QB throw a ball into coverage or even press the QB consistently let alone stop the run game. Even a coverage sack is hard for this group to come by.
I think the Badgers stay close in the 1st half and just run out of gas in the 2nd and get blown out in the 2nd half. Something like 14-6 in the first half only to lose 38-13 in the second half.
That show is garbage. Stopped watching after the third episode. There is nothing positive that came from that show. It is just absolutely horrible and deserves all of the hate that it gets.
Going back to the earlier 2000's Adam Dunn and Zach Duke were popular names. I believe there was even a Ryan Braun for Zach Duke proposal.
Puig was also a rumored target a few times and Joc Pederson.
