I like how TCU gets after the QB whereas Chavis doesnt like to pressure too much.

They held Wisc to their lowest point output this year.

Hard to say if they're overrated. I think they're very good. If they played in a conference where they had top get it done week-in/week-out, it would paint a better picture.

LSU would have never given up 385 total yards and 200+ on the ground

The Badgers made that last drive on the ground but decided to pass when they went for two. Makes no sense at all. They deserved to lose.

Our run D is our weak spot and with TCU's undersized line it's apparent that they would get gashed just like LSU's. I would venture to say that LSU's pass defense (minus Hatcher) is better than TCU's but TCU has the better GROUP of linebackers IMO.

#43 for TCU was a beast today.

They are better on D. Their 4-2-5 scheme with 3 safeties splitting the field based on formation has proven to be extremely successful. TCU's LB's and safety's play hard, clean, and pissed off. Chief is a damn good coordinator and LSU has a better athlete, but nobody in college football is better than Patterson.

I think they're way overrated for 2 and 3 star recruits.

Bad play calling on Wisconsin's part... TCU strength is speed and Wisc is constantly taking too long to develope plays and running sweeps. I feel like I'm watching a GC coordinated offense.

...Badgers choked ...played WAY soft off the line on pass D, gave up WAY too many 3rd and 6/7 type plays for 1st downs and let TCU control clock and field position ...that was the diff ...

When (if) do we play TCU? Can't wait. Today I think they are a top #2 program that could win against either Oregon or Auburn.

I was very impressed with how a bunch of 2 and 3 star players played against a more talented Wisconsin team. If Les decides to leave lowly LSU for the greatest program known to man (Michigan) then Patterson would look great in purple and gold.

Agreed.

LA already has a town named after him (Dalton Hilliard's hometown).

I for one, would love to see what he could do against the best O's in CFB with our talent.

I agree 100% with this. They played almost 10 yds off the receiver almost every play and TCU just took the 7-9 yd passes. I guess they haven't heard of bump and run or jamming up there yet

Because TCU has great skill at WR and Dalton throws a great deep ball; they would roast Wisconsin for 50 if they tried to press the WRs.
