I'm pretty sure our coaches will do a good job of putting the best people in the best positions to give us the best chance to win. Our linebackers do not have the luxury of having a stout front four in front of them this year, which has made a big difference and makes their jobs much more...

Have to disagree on Cousins. Steady but not spectacular. I think Sheelhaase is definitely better and possibly Taylor Martinez, although different types. I do agree that this will be a game that they could lose though. It will be interesting to watch the Wisconsin offense against the MSU...

I will make it to two games this year from Colorado Springs. Have a daughter going to school at the U of I right now so it will probably drop off after she graduates.

I hope DeAndre gets some carries this week. I thought he showed some good burst, speed and moves against Northwestern in very limited carries. Would be nice to see what he has in the middle of the game and get him into a rhythm.

They did play very hard tonight. I also thought it was the best job of tackling we did all year and we needed that. We missed a few tackles but overall much better.

Coming from a U of I grad, I would never have guessed this from the rest of your post. Your statement that one has to have graduated from a university in order to be a "better" fan is arrogant and short sighted.

A lot of Nebby fans blaming the O Coordinator for all of the pass calls. Blaming Pelini for not recruiting a better stable of QB's. One thing their fans have a hard time with is the fact that they thought they were returning to glory this year with a great defense (hasn't happened) and T-Magic...

ABC does list the Iowa-Penn St game on the DirecTV guide. But so does the overflow ESPN channel. I think it's just how they list it for some reason. For what it's worth, the game is on ABC here. You're right, nice to have Colorado in the PAC 12 now.

I live in Colorado and my DirecTV guide says the same thing. It could be a nationwide thing for Direct. But if you're in KC, you are probably getting the Missouri/K State.

Pittsburgh blitzed us quite a bit when we came back on them in the fourth quarter and I thought our O-Line did a great job of picking them up. A couple of the late TD passes we had were on plays they were blitzing on. Like others have said, blitzing is great only if you get to the QB. If JVB...

As the game draws nearer the predictions seem to be getting a little closer to the vest and less "out-there". My take is that we have only played one road game and we did not play well in that game. This is a real test for our young team to see how much we have grown over the past month. I...

Closer than what it might first appear. Nebraska's D plays its best game of the year but still not enough. Wisconsin 27, Nebraska 23.

I know you can't throw the stats out but our defense gave up an additional 21 points in the overtimes in the Iowa State. That and more yards. I think we have shown some good improvement defensively since the Iowa State game but the real test will come when we get into conference.

I think it's a little bit of both. Coker has looked slightly slower so far. Could be rust and KF has noted that he missed some time during fall camp. I thought he looked quicker against ULM. The OL has been pretty good pass blocking but average at run blocking. To be fair, as many have...

Hate to disagree with you but I really don't believe KF listens to what the fans or media say. He has more football knowledge than all of us combined. Coaches that listen to the outside world are probably not destined to be coaches for very long. Despite what some people believe, I think he...
