Wisconsin at Nebraska College Football Week 5 Preview: Are Huskers The Big Ten’s Best?

Found September 25, 2012 on Gridiron Grit: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Montee Ball,  Joel Stave,  Russell Wilson,  Nick Toon,  Jared Abbrederis,  Rex Burkhead
TEAMS: Chicago Bears,  Wisconsin Badgers,  Oregon State Beavers
Wisconsin-michigan
http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/ Montee Ball was labeled a Heisman favorite this season after Matt Barkley, but Ball has quietly fallen completely off the map. What on earth has happened to the Badgers? The better question is just how bad the Big Ten really is? Well, Wisconsin flat out stinks right now (for their standards and the Big Ten barely better than Big East) because their offense is atrocious and the defense is far from championship level. It is not any more complicated than that and the expectations should have been lowered heading into the season. I was laughed at for suggesting this team would lose four games after January, but this team may honestly lose five or six games when the year is complete. Nothing can change this squad from going 7-5 if they do not get any production from their offense. Oregon State looked like the 1985 Chicago Bears defense against Wisconsin, which is never a good sign. Joel Stave has not played nearly well enough while replacing Danny O...

MADISON, Wis. The status of running back Montee Ball for Wisconsin's Big Ten opener against Nebraska remains up in the air. But it appears all that stands between last year's Heisman Trophy finalist and the football field is the successful completion of the team's concussion test. Badgers coach Bret Bielema indicated that, should Ball pass the necessary cognitive exam...

The Wisconsin Badgers may be 3-1, although it is not the start that many envisioned to start the 2012 college football season. While they may have lost last year’s Rose Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson to the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL, they thought they had their next top transfer quarterback from the Maryland Terrapins in Danny O’Brien. With Heisman Trophy candidate running...

College football: Tailgater best and worst of week 3 and week 4

Though I took a little vacation last week, I made sure not to miss a minute of college football.  And through the first four weeks of the season we’ve seen some clear themes developing.  The first is that, aside from a couple of select teams, no one is safe.  Already we’ve witnessed plenty of parity, and more is surely on the way.  Alabama and Oregon are working hard on they...

Wisconsin-Nebraska Preview

Nebraska was given a harsh introduction into the Big Ten last season when it visited Wisconsin and All-American running back Montee Ball. In this year's conference opener, there's a chance the 22nd-ranked Cornhuskers could avoid seeing Ball on the field when they seek redemption against the visiting Badgers on Saturday night. Nebraska was unbeaten and ranked eighth entering...

Wisconsin is in panic mode right now. It lost to Oregon State. Overhyped quarterback Danny O'Brien has been benched in favor of Joel Stave. Tailback Montee Ball is dealing with a concussion.
