Colbert stepped in and played well. I thought from what I could tell Ojemudia was solid. Not sure about OL, seemed like they had some issues with the ISU front. Later in the game we wire them down some.
Yes Hankins was thrown at a few times. He also made that solid goal line tackles on a much bigger receiver to help hold ISU out of the end zone early on.I thought OJ was great tonight.
Side note- did they throw at Hankins at all? Did Gervase do anything? Seems like they threw towards Hooker and Ojamudia a lot.
His coverage still had some issues ... but I thought he looked pretty darn fine in run support. However, my coverage criticisms are mainly nitpicking points. His positioning was pretty solid (all things considered).
OL has some work to do. They struggled at run blocking and were ok in pass blocking. B1G West looks weak this year but Wisconsin has been shredding us of late so hopefully OL can pick things up in a couple weeks.
Not only have we had KF for 20 years, Norm to Phil (no relation) cannot be overstated in its consistency paying huge dividends.
