2025 Badger Football Thread

Not that Alabama is as much of a juggernaut this year as they've been in the past, but I don't see any way this game is competetive much beyond halftime. If the o-line was a more typical UW o-line then I'd say that it could be a two score game late in the 4th quarter, but this o-line is a mess right now. They had a hard time running the ball against MTSU and they aren't going to run against 'Bama. I think they will play hard, but if they can't run the ball they'll get buried once the defense runs out of gas late in the 3rd quarter. I'm guessing something like a 41-13 kind of game.

That's about right. If we could run the ball better, we could keep it close, but they have too many horses in the stable.
 
Badgers should be that big of an underdog.

There is something about this team not folding against early adversity that says they fight Alabama the entire game instead of folding and running with their tails between their legs like they have in the BIG Games against the Better Opponents all too frequently.

When I say Bucky can win, it's a real low probability. But I think they will be in the fight more than they have been recently.

And, I think out of 'Bama, them OSU, Freakin' Ducks, and MI, Bucky gets at least 1.

Was this meant for the Comedy thread?
Just kidding Keg, I hear what you're saying. This team may not be as talented as prior teams, and maybe that gives them a little bit of a chip on their shoulder that drives them a bit harder. Like the underdog teams that the Badgers played the first 2 weeks.
 
Saw the forecast for Tuscaloosa this weekend, and I am on the lookout for my patented* game scenario where one of our WI teams, here Badgers football, has spent the last 3 weeks in crisp, fall-like weather (avg high in Madison the last 30 days was 60) and is now heading to the SE where it's gonna be in the low 90s, though relatively modest humidity for the time of year.

Look for Bucky to be sluggish, but perhaps not overly so.

Similar fate may await Green Bay in Dallas or Phoenix next month, but both those stadiums are climate controlled, yeah?
