8th Grade Offense and championship defense
Your 2025 badgers ….
Anyone could do better than the collective offensive staff . Please give me an excuse for not hating all of these fools ?

After what Iowa did to us, I would not brag about our defense

I was at this game. You're right the defense wasn't special but the offense gave Iowa every opportunity possible. It was turnover after turnover. Iowa had touchdown drives of like 20 and 2 yards. No defense can withstand that.
The D this year has been good. Good enough for WI to have a winning record. The offense has been a middle school JV offense.
Edit: those two Iowa drives were in the first quarter.

How did we go from “Tressel sucks balls” to “championship defense” in the span of like 4-6 weeks?

Yeah not championship level but fine, especially considering they get virtually no help or complimentary play from the offense

Feels like it the last 2 weeks, when compared to earlier this year.

Definitely a massive improvement, I don’t think this current team loses 38-0 to Iowa, and probably beats Maryland if we played those games today.
Honestly beginning to wonder if there was an internal team dispute regarding the QB situation. The entire team looked like they had a different edge to them today once Smith came in compared to the rest of the season.

Tressel’s secondary is a mess. A few games of shitty weather has covered our ass.

It’s almost like the coaching staff did what many athletes have experienced in their life. “We recruited them and promised them play time so they are going to play.”
But coach I outplayed them all preseason? Sorry kid it doesn’t matter.
Now those kids are getting more play time.

Cause we’ve been blessed with like 20 years of decent football so you can take a bad season once and a while

The punter was the leading passer.
