Those Brutal Badgers
Good Lord, how bad can this get?
UW has its less-than-one dimension offense on display once again at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, along with its papier mache defense and its woeful punting game — hey, I think I found the Packers’ next punter, he’s kicking for UW now, even worse than Derek Frost — in bumbling and stumbling to its fourth consecutive loss in Big Ten play.
I never thought I’d be nostalgic for the likes of Darrell Bevell, Mike Samuel and Brooks Bollinger, the pedestrian QBs recruited by Barry Alvarez. But after watching the horrible Tyler Donovan last year, and the equally pathetic Allen Evridge and Dustin Sherer this year, I’ll take Bevell, Samuel, Bollinger, Jim Sorgi and John Stocco. All they did was win games.
Oh, and P.J. Hill is hurt. Again. The Second Coming of Anthony Davis, another UW running back who lacked physical and mental toughness. It’s why John Clay is the Badgers’ best RB. And if the Boy Genius can’t see that, maybe Alvarez should find someone who can.

The one thing I’m seeing week in and out on the defense is a lack of football IQ. People will say that it is poor coaching that guys are not lined up correctly. Coaching is part of it, but once the offense makes a shift, guys need to know how to adjust, and this team seams to run around with its head cut off. Nobody out there like Doering, Monty, ect to direct traffic. Add that to guys taking bad angles, and just overall lack of pass rush, you give up big plays.
Offense the big thing is just lack of development of wide receivers. No body gets open, so they can put 3 guys on Beckum. QB has been bad, but almost all the mistakes come from trying to force the ball to the tight ends, mainly because the WR can’t get open.

It got worse — much worse — today. The Boy Genius has the football IQ of a turnip at times. Today was one of those times.
