Pugger Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Any news on Orr? I think losing him hurt us defensively. I'll begrudgingly give OSU credit - they made the adjustment and UW did not. Not getting hardly any yards the entire second half? lol We really don't deserve any of the better bowl games this year. We were lucky the West is not as strong as the Eastern division.

RandyMossIsBoss Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 That was such classic Wisconsin getting our hopes up. 21-7, complete domination? If we blow them out could we maybe?..... >27 unanswered Deja vu from 1st meeting where the D just gets dominated after dominating. Not sure what that’s about. OSU offensive staff masters of adjustment? Our front getting tired? The 2nd half playcalling made no sense, although the OL just started getting overmatched so not sure what could have changed.

Pugger Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Until this school changes its enrollment requirements and can recruit the top players in the country like OSU, Alabama, Georgia, etc., it will remain a nice program that gets rolled against the top programs in the country every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very naive. Does UW have strict requirements to enroll compared to other universities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Rose Bowls are the equivalent to Natty's to me. Oregon is not any more talented than we are, this would be a huge win for the program. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend not to bend much for student athletes, very rarely make exceptions. Which is to say to play football at Wisconsin you generally have to have a somewhat similar academic resume to anyone else who gets in, at least relative to other schools. Most programs at or above Wisconsin's level give football recruits significant leeway and will probably let in anybody if they're good enough and can graduate HS. It's why Gary Anderson left, he was at odds with admissions often because they wouldn't let in several guys, especially JUCO, that he would get to commit. However, I think the the relatively strict requirements are only a part of the equation when it comes to why Wisconsin's recruiting to on field success ratio is likely the worst in the country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 JT23, the model of consistency. Arguably the greatest statistical RB in FBS history. 2017: 299 carries, 1977 yards, 6.6 YPC, 13 TD2018: 307 carries, 2194 yards, 7.1 YPC, 16 TD2019: 299 carries, 1909 yards, 6.4 YPC, 21 TD Also has the FBS record of 12 200 yard rushing games. He's tied with several others with three 1500 yard rushing seasons. Three career records he won't though. One is most career 100 yard rushing games. He's at 32, the record is 34 (DeAngelo Williams). The other is obviously the NCAA rushing record unless he runs for 326 yards vs Oregon lol. Donnel Pomphrey is the official leader at 6405 even though Ron Dayne is at 7105 because they didn't count bowl games then (they should honestly retroactively apply stats to fit the new rules for career records). The final one is career rushing TDs. He's at 50 and the record is 88. Still, he did this in 3 years with no redshirt on a team that had crap for QB and crap playcalling. That just shows you how insanely talented he is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the only reason LSU is on that list is because the number 1 overall pick transferred there. They got stupid lucky. We're among the best of the CFB scraps. That's the reality for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our football team had a median ACT score of 24 two years ago. That is the 70th percentile as a median. LSU's was 17. That is the 30th percentile. 16 is considered the cut off for collegiate literate. LSU's DC (someone can correct me in this just what I heard) made more money than all the Wisconsin assistants combined. Our athletic department has traditionally been the second most profitable in the country because we don't spend any money. We funnel that money back into the University and our stupid academics. LSU spends hella money on its program outside of just the staff. Consequently LSU is the #1 seed and we're in the Rose Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
