The national recruiting rank average for Wisconsin since 2010 is 55th. Nearly their entire roster is filled with players LSU would consider preferred walk-ons.
yahoo
2010- 88
2011- 40
2012- 57
2013- 57
2014- 33

This is a huge mismatch on paper, but LSU should respect that the Badgers were able to hang with the Gamecocks back in Jan.

The game will be simple. The team that can rush and stop the rush will win. At worst, look for a repeat of the Outback bowl.

This game will look very B1G. I still expect LSU to win by seven.

The game will be much closer than it should be. It will come down to the last possession, and we will bury our heads in the sand while ignoring the problem areas that are plain to see.

That is irrelevant. They're BCS caliber players who have had the opportunity to play in a BCS bowl game.

I remember a few years ago when Wisconsin picked up a 2 star transfer named J.J. Watt.

Melvin Gordon is the real deal.

Iowa isn't much better. Wisconsin will give LSU a game. LSU will win, but nothing spectacular.

True, but that didn't hurt their basketball team at all.

If our DLine doesn't stop the run better than last year, Wisconsin is going to move the ball very effectively.

LSU will win but by less than 28 which will bring out the tards who will claim "we will go 2-4 in SEC west"

This. If they had 10 other Gordon caliber players, I would be scared. But since they don't I will remain cautiously optimistic about the game. Tigers by 10.
