1. Offense needs to enter the 21st century prior to getting down 3 scores.

2. Jennings seems to handle pressure pretty well and can make the throws especially if we let him throw early in the series

3. Dural is FAST

4. DT depth should be a concern. Did Herron get lost on the way to stadium. Godchaux did look good so there is that.

5. Wisc's Safeties are atrocious in coverage. Even when they were not crowding the box our WRs and TEs were able to get behind the coverage.

6. Our secondary is strong but how strong is unclear bc Wisc's QB and WR play was pretty bad. Props to Collins on his vast improved tackling. He made several great 1 on 1 tackles in the open field.

7. Wisc's QB should move back to S. Thet need the help.

8. Diarse seems to have strong hands really runs well after the catch. Quinn has extremely quick feet abd really seems like a skilled vet in the way he positions his body to make the catch

9. LBs played well once they settled into the game. Kwon is a stud, Beckwith is improving (nice to see a MLB built like a MLB) and Welter looked serviceable. Really wish Jones saw more snaps.

10. Les gonna be Les.

Tough to run up the middle with 9 guys waiting for you. They did great when we went 3 wide

Agree with most, diarse has great hands . And lol @ #31 for saying we are soft and he got abused to the point he was pulled from the game . Diarse made him look ridiculous

I'll say that last night will likely be the best run defense they see all year.

I know their QB sucked as a QB but their WR were at no point in the game more than half a setup away from our DB's.


And you HAVE to add Kwon to your list! Real Deal

Im not sure how much we learned other than buga had his worst game he will ever have.

Wisconsin is a good team, much better than the tcu team we faced last year.

I was a bit disappointed in the preparation for this game considering how confused we looked but this team is young. we have some nice little cupcakes before a good home test vs state and then the road games.

Diarse really looks like a RB with the ball in his hands. That TD run was a thing of beauty. The stiff arm at the end

O line was losing the numbers battle. After lsu went three wide and pushed their safeties back the line went to work.

Diarse, dural and quinn looked like the real deal, our tightends look like they are terrible.

Jennings' rainbow arc passes worry me.

TE's are not terrible. Just had a couple of bad plays, that's all.

Well in this case, Wisc had ZERO help over the top so high arc passes might have been on purpose. Just saying.

LF underwhelming but we know will shine

Hilliard looks much quicker and back to early career form

#18 just underwhelming (like I've been saying all off-season)

Don't forget this one... Les and Chavis still have to wait to half time to make adjustments.
