Game Thread 2017 B1G Championship Game: OSU vs. Wisconsin - 12/2/17 @ 8:00 ET (FOX)

3 of the 4 pro Style/mediocre to bad QB offenses to end the year faced.

Iowa: f-
Sparty: A+
scUM: B

So serious question; Baker and Worley were the main culprits in the Iowa fiasco no? Then they are out against tsun lite and receivers are covered like a blanket. Then back in and we have open TE's all over the damn place against tsun.

Is it just me? Am I over simplifying this?
Nope basically about it... unfortunately I don't see them sitting Baker even though they should

What in the actual fuck are they doing here besides baring their throat, handing the enemy a knife and begging to be slaughtered?

This is how Iowa destroyed the OSU defense and I guarantee you Chryst is too good of a coach to let his functional game manager QB miss as many of these simple back breakers as Okorn did.

Jesus... I don't see a running back there so not sure why the MLB would bite on the pulling guard moving left? If the MLB is at home that's not an issue even with Harrison getting juked out of his shoes.

Well hopefully this time around if Baker looks clueless in the first quarter we take him out before the game gets away from us. This isn't a good game for Baker anyways with the size they're going to put on the field.

common opponents: nebraska, maryland, illinois, indiana, iowa, and ttun.

uw defense vs. nebraska: gave up 17
osu defense vs. nebraska: 14
difference: push

uw defense vs. maryland: 13
osu defense vs. maryland: 14
difference: push

uw defense vs. illinois: 10
osu defense vs. illinois: 14
difference: push

uw defense vs. indiana: 17
osu defense vs. indiana: 21
difference: push

uw defense vs. iowa: 14
osu defense vs. maryland: 55
difference: overwhelmingly in uw's favor

uw defense vs. ttun: 10
osu defense vs. ttun: 20
difference: in uw's favor


edit: granted, not all "pushes" are the same. take indiana. while the badgers gave up only 270 yards (230 yards passing) to the hoosiers, the hoosiers racked up 440 yards (420 yards passing) against the buckeyes. a difference of 4 points doesn't exactly paint an accurate picture.

Loved Jeromes play last year, but honestly his very clear and obvious shortcomings will be exposed further this weekend. Having played linebacker in college, I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that most of his mistakes would get him benched just about anywhere else. If I'm being personally honest I have no clue how he's still even getting meaningful snaps. His performance is vital this game, and my confidence is zero.

Not concerned about their running game, more concerned about Fumagali he is a good TE that can kill our defense if we don't cover him. Hopefully we have played enough teams in Sparty, Iowa and scUM to see our weakness and have a better game plan. If JT doesn't play I think it's safe to say Weber/Dobbins see 30+ carries which should be good for us.

Hornibrook is meh, but much more likely to hit those open TEs than Korn on da Kob was. They've got to make him make the throws instead of giving them to him, he is likely to throw picks when constantly tested. Cover someone basically.
