Wisconsin vs. USC

B1G could use another win. Anyone still awake?

 

[ichawk24]

I'm awake now, but seeing the end of the game seems unlikely.

Great catch by wherlright.

 

[BulliesOfTheBigTen]

I'm in Portland. Will be up with you buddy. Really want to see Wisky pull one out for the BIG.

 

[lovegpa]

The announcers are certainly enamored with USC. Sheesh. Bucky needs to pound these guys.

I'm not making any promises....but the Wisconsin crowd seems loud enough to keep me awake for awhile.

I'm Corvallis, nice to get a west coast evening time slot to actually see a bowl game.

I'm ET but will see the end, thanks to my old friend insomnia. Wisky looking solid so far v

Wth did I just witness on the USC fumble? Granted I can't see the tv very well in the bar I'm at and I have no sound. What was the ruling? Looked like a fumble and Wisconsin recovery.

The corner shadowing on the motion lined up in the neutral zone. He was so far past the line of scrimmage that he may have even been behind the linemen. So it ended up being a 5 yard penalty.

Why aren't the team names on the end zones. You would think with the amount of money the bowl makes they could paint the school names on some grass

Wisconsin Corner was offsides.

 

[Sett1997]

Wisconsin getting screwed already. Lol

 

[Sett1997]

Thanks guys for the clarification. I was pissed. Lol

Noticed that earlier with the Birmingham Bowl. Thought it was simply due to being a crap bowl - surprised the more historic, prestigious Holiday didn't even paint the end zones.

 

[Qued18]

Ground and pound...USC is soft...hope that trend continues with Stanford.

How could you be so awake to notice that?

 

[Sett1997]

They were running the ball down their throats. Three straight passes. Lol

 

[millah_22]

Spotted some guy decked out in Hawk gear. Guess he didn't make it to the huddle.

 

[Qued18]

Lol did you see the Iowa fan all decked out in Hawkeye gear sitting with Bucky fans

 

[SWIowahawks]

I'm watching. Let's see if I can stay awake through halftime.

I agree with others that are saying lets hope it's a trend that the Pac-12 is weak on the run defense.

 

[meatloaf55]

Wisconsin is doing better than I thought they would be. Not a knock on Wisconsin, I just thought USC's "talent" would overcome with time to prepare. Wisconsin looks like the better team. And that hawk fan in the stands was awesome

 

[Packer54]

2:1 in TOP and yards but only a 6 point lead. Need to finish their drives and put these guys away.

 

[millah_22]

Longest half time ever

 

[BulliesOfTheBigTen]

I'm Corvallis, nice to get a west coast evening time slot to actually see a bowl game.

At the same time, I LOVE catching Iowa games in the morning or earlier in the day so that you have the rest of it freed up.

 

[BulliesOfTheBigTen]

Wisconsin needs to punch it in here in the red zone. This game could already be a blowout if they could finish drives in the red zone.

 

[BulliesOfTheBigTen]

Clement injured. Kid can't catch a break.

 

[millah_22]

As he was tackled I thought "that looked painful" and then he just stayed down. That's a blown knee.

Exactly! Hawks in the morning, hit a trail in the afternoon.

 

[SWIowahawks]

Wisconsin might have been the most underrated teams in the country this year. They played a weak conference schedule but their losses were to Alabama, Iowa, and NW. Then you have USC who lost five games and somehow ranked top 25.

 

[BulliesOfTheBigTen]

USC can probably throw the deep ball with success this entire half.

 

[SWIowahawks]

Is it just me or is USC's offensive line not getting set on these short yardage plays?

 

[BulliesOfTheBigTen]

USC getting all the momentum right now. If I were them, I'd just launch another deep ball. Their receiver has had a couple steps all game long.

 

[Floyd_Of_Rosedale]

blitz blitz blitz blitz blitz

 

[BulliesOfTheBigTen]

And just like that, Sichy (spelling?) has 3 MONSTER sacks in a row. Wow!

 

[BulliesOfTheBigTen]

blitz blitz blitz blitz blitz

Seriously blitz him every down until they stop him. That was insane.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Holy cow, 3 straight sacks by LB who sat out first half. Had 2 sacks total coming into the night.

 

[BulliesOfTheBigTen]

If I was USC I wouldn't even bother running the ball. Just air it out. Wisconsin linebackers are all over the backfield.

 

[SWIowahawks]

Here is how Wisconsin starts conference play next year:

@Michigan State
@Mich
Ohio State
@Iowa
Nebraska

It's pretty safe to say they won't be winning the West.

 

[BulliesOfTheBigTen]

Wisconsin desperately needs to hold USC to a field goal here. The USC defense has woken up which has limited their TOP in the 2nd half.

 

[millah_22]

Watch USC O-line now. They just replaced the center. Usually teams' production plummet when the center is replaced. The biggest line swings in vegas happen when centers get hurt in practice.
