In Game

Cousins continues to look like a walk on that made the team last week. And played his first game of football the week before. And learned English 2 weeks prior. That bad. In fact, had the PUNTER not thrown a beautiful pass against ND there would be a QB controversy with anything with 2 arms.

The defense, through 1.25 quarters, has been very good. Too many long runs on first down, but given that there have been 2 turnovers (on giving up short field) you can't be too upset.

Bell is full grown. He is strong, patient, and certainly not looking like a freshman.

GREG JONES almost took that handoff. He was in the backfield on 3rd and 3 in time to take the bobbled hand off. Punt Wisconsin, followed by an important question...

WHY DO YOU EVER PUNT TO KESHAWN MARTIN?!

Why? Ever?

Returned 74 yards. TD.

Defense and Special Teams dragging Cousins and company through this game. Hand it off. Do it again. Take care of the ball.

I agree with the call to go for it on 4th and 1/2. I do not agree going up the middle. Use Bell's strength AND speed to get outside.

Love the use of the tight ends. Finally.

AND TD to a Tight End!!!

If you wondered about the size and our existence of Treadwell's, well, shopping bags, they are alive and well. 4th down and 1, 3 point lead, you THROW?! With a QB that has 2 (should be 3) picks already?! With 1 (one) (won) real receiving option*?! Yes, alive. And they may secede from the Union, they are that large.

Finally, I hope Jones is ok. His arm was hanging late.

Bret Bielema is arrogant as ever. Perhaps when the University of Denard Robinson fires dick rod they can hire bret.

Post Game Show: Retire them

Will Tieman just said "Gus...tell me about this play..." as he was talking to Don Treadwell. Please, please, for the love of God, retire Will Tieman and Gus Ganakis, from both Basketball and Football.**

*Cunningham was the only route. If he doesn't get a release, there is nothing for Cousins to do with the ball.
**Gus doesn't do football.***
***Gus barely does basketball. Using the word barely is doing him a favor.
