Nice write up. Thanks, but I think everyone would have liked to know who he shared the award with. It would probably lead to more discussion as well.

Sure glad the Badgers don't have this kid.

Already posted that above.

Thanks. I swear that second post wasn't there when I inquired. I should have never doubted you.

He has improved his completion percentage and shown he can move around in the pocket. When he has thrown an interception BF has gone right back to him. So much more consistent than Hornibrook. I was shocked Wisconsin didn't replace him vs Michigan.

 

[David1979]

He keeps getting better and still has room to improve as does the team. I don't think Iowa has played a clean game yet.

We scored 42 with a pick and 11 penalties for 110 yards. If I was a DC in the big I would be shitting my pants to think if Iowa plays a clean game what they will do to us!

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. The guy that shared it had 220 receiving yards. That seems reasonably on par with Nate's performance.

If you're going to try to be funny, at least get your facts straight. Big Ten Headquarters moved to Rosemont about 5 years ago.

I agree, and I think KF was alluding to that in his press conference after the game. What is this team capable of if they have no turnovers, and eliminate some chippy penalties, etc.?
