Well that was DIFFERENT!?!?!?

It sure is fun watching this Defense, huh?!?!

They fly around and really cause havoc! I sure hope that this year's team doesn't make us all think about "what could have been" if they could have consistently made some plays on Offense. There are more and more people talking about how Tressel should give up control of the offense after this year, but I believe the more pundits he has, the more stubborn he will get.

I just don't understand why the other teams we watch can consistently run plays that completely "fool" the other team, which then results in their defense having to make adjustments on the fly, which usually comes way too late.

We had some running success the past two games after making a few adjustments. Doesn't Tress understand that they also have coaches reviewing our tapes and they come in with ways they have designed to stop what we are doing. It was obvious that Wiscy was ready to stop the running play that worked against Illinois and Indiana.

We should have had another "wrinkle" added that they should have had to make other adjustments to. This would probably make the stuff we had been running successful.

Instead we continue to run off tackle time after time and then throw 5 yard passes on 3rd and 10. We have big and fast receivers but continually run pass patterns where we are coming to a stop, which nelegates the speed and size advantage we have.

Look at the passes that get intercepted and almost ALWAYS the receiver has stopped and is waiting for the pass which usually is either high or low or late! It seems TP throws better to receivers who are crossing the field or running deep patterns.

Thank GOD for the Defense!!!

The Tailgate was nothing special compared to most of our get-togethers, but we will be ready for those pesky Gophers in two weeks!!!!!

Go Bucks!!!
