we can agree to disagree. 25 straight times of passing or running in 2017 isn't normal. But if our OL is as good as everyone thinks it is, then we'd better put up 250+ rush yards on them. Agreed?

I'm not sure we actually disagree on anything. 25 straight runs is not normal. When effective, with 3 different RB, I just say why not.

I haven't seen anyone say our oline is great since before the season started, actually, I've seen/heard mostly the opposite. I think a lot of that is due to shuffling and a couple key injuries, but still, it's been below our normal standards.

We need to improve our Oline play and power running game for November. It's kinda been my point.

It's pure speculation because it doesn't exist; but does WUs run it 25 straight times if Paul Chryst has a qb like Stanley...or CJ?

Iowa would run it 25 straight plays too if their running game was a good as Wisconsin's.

So, 6 seasons removed from Russell Wilson, they threw the ball 34% of the time. But Hornibrook is no Russell Wilson and I'd take Stanley over Hornibrook every time. Like I said, pure speculation, but I doubt they run it 25 straight plays if they had a qb the caliber of Stanley.

I wouldn't be surprised if Alvarez requires at least 65% run. Chryst probably hears about it if not. Alvarez has said in the past, to paraphrase, "it's no secret what we do on offense. We get a bunch of big powerful guys upfront and we run behind them." If you do it well, that's a formula for success, especially in the Midwest, because it fits our recruiting base.

Wisconsin has the best rb in the conference other than Barkley. The Taylor kid is good. Size, speed, vision. Has it all and only a freshman. The other 2 backs are not too shabby either.

Based on what I saw vs. nebby, this may be accurate. Kid looked really good. Their other two backs are solid, but I think all three of ours are better, and AW(while different skills) is overall as good as Taylor, and better in many aspects.
