It should also be mentioned that Wisconsin won't be a finesse team like Oregon. They will act like we do when the opponent can't stop us running the ball down its throat. Wisconsin will run it down ours.

I don't know why so many of our fans seem to think that this is a walkover opponent. Wisconsin will not be intimidated by us at all.

I only compared Wisky to Oregon because both teams are top 15 programs. Wisky is definitely a different style of team than Oregon.

I definitely don't think Wisky is a walkover opponent. They are very similar to us. Big and physical up front with a stout run game. I just take our depth (even though some are unproven) and athletic freaks over them.

They aren't walkovers, but our advantages beat their advantages. I'd concede 200 to Gordon and Clement because I watched them last year and that OL is nasty. Thing is, they have QB problems and pass catcher problems and they are not as talented as us to cover them. Does it matter if our DTs are inexperienced? We are loaded at corner so we can stack 8 in the box the majority of the time. We are stout at DE starters and our 3 deep at LB is ridiculous. Not only are we loaded at LB and go 3 deep at RB (anybody still saying wait til Fournette hits the field, just freaking stahp), their entire front 7 is new.

RBs
push

OL
push

DL
LSU

LB
overwhelmingly LSU

WRs
LSU (because of talent)

TEs
push but could be LSU

DBs
LSU by talent and experience
