My story.

Nobody was injured in game that I know about is a positive.

That actually may make this fiasco even more embarrassing. We came out with basically the entire squad, minus Ford and got handled big time. So it’s not like we have much to look forward to, or calvary to wait on. I think Ford will help a little, but I don’t think he’s going to save us

I am going to chalk this beat down to several things.

1. Wisconsin possibly to be seen is much much better than the ranking they have.  This is a team a few seasons removed from 13 win season...a team that had a bad season with 7 wins and destroyed Miami in its bowl game.  If the qb continues to improve they are a top team. Also they were 100% bringing the A game on friday.  We sometimes can catch a ranked team ooc opponent sleeping since its just USF they are facing.  Wisconsin was focused 100% for this game, and want to avenge for last season.  Doesn't help they have possibly the greatest college player on offense with Taylor.

2. We had a new offense to install the first game would be better suited for an easy opponent to get the offense dialed in some.   A few drops and int for td and the wheels just came off the offense.  Didn't help we also didn't have our best offensive player in Ford for this game..he could have atleast helped move the chains some.

3. Wisconsin is also about the worse top college team we can face.  They are a power running team...something we have a long history of doing horrible against.  I would much rather face a top team that runs a spread type offense like Auburn or Oregon for example.

4. I wish this game was later in the season when our offense  was hopefully dialed in...we still lose the game but I think we keep the score respectable if the offense is moving the ball some and giving the defense some breaks not constant 3 and out.  If we lost 32 to 17 I think most could have lived with that.

That how I have come to accept this game.    What we see this week vs GT will tell me how much fight this team has.

wisconsin has 11 returning starters from a team that went 7-5 last year. they have 4 new o-line starters and a freshman QB.

let's not act like we played Bama coming off a national championship with a loaded deck.

The o-line is always good at Wisconsin they just reload.  The QB is a junior.  

Not saying they are Bama but if that QB continues to improve they are going to be one tough team.

Now if they win 7 games I guess we just suck is very possible.

Next week is pivotal, and tell us what we need to know.
