Wisconsin's Talent Gap

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.

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.

Speed will once again be the deciding factor. We all know the BIG is big and skooooooooowwwwwwwwwww

Melvin Gordon is the real deal.

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

more of an indictment on bullshite recruiting rankings than anything.

LSU wins 41-24.

Yet Wisconsin has some of the most active players in the NFL... 
Its going to be a close game and low scoring. Its going to be a grind it out, run the ball type of game.
For those that dont know, Wisconsin has the best RB in the country on their team. Would have been the #1RB in the draft this year, decided to come back. Melvin Gordon.

People keep saying this one will be "close", "like the Iowa game", etc.
On offense, this Wisconsin team returns a solid O line and really good running back. However, it will be tough sledding against a very good LSU D line. Also, Stave will have trouble passing vs a great LSU secondary, especially since they have little talent at WR.
Inversely, Wisc returns 3 on defense (none of their front 7). LSU's veteran O line should have no problem opening a hole for any of our running backs (particularly the highly touted Fournette).
Their DB's a year ago were bad... really bad. LSU will showcase a very talented WR corps in the 2014 season (not to mention the option to throw out of the backfield to Neighbors or in the flats to D Smith).
Even with serviceable QB play, LSU should win this thing handily.

How do JJ Watt and Russell Wilson fit into this?

Generally those Midwest teams have a lot of big tough physical players that are underrated by the recruiting services.

The problem with Wisconsin isn't the sheer athletic talent. They just grow some big boys in Minnisconsin. There is a lot of left tackle material there, if you will. Oregon ran circles around them but our scheme was the perfect counter to their defense. LSU replacing all their big skill guys should make this a close game imo. I also like Andersen. I think he's going to be a long tenured coach there.

Anybody who thinks just because Wisconsin is not in the SEC, they aren't worth our respect is an ignorant fool. Wisconsin will be one of our most formidable opponents next year. They will have a strong team. National ranking is 55th? Why or how in the heck are they always a top 10 contended in the final rankings?

Didn't Russell Wilson play there?
