Wisconsin Injury Report Released

Submitted by Bambi on

Link to the report.

I posted their report last week here. Updates of note in the past week:

- LB Chris Orr is still out, as well as WRs Jazz Peavy and George Rushing.

- Safety D'Cota Dixon is questionable. He missed last week against Iowa (dressed and warmed up but was not dressed for the game). He played 2 weeks ago against Indiana but missed the week prior against Illinois.

- Starting Center Tyler Biadasz is questionable as well. He's been a solid OL as a freshman for them this year. He was injured in the first half and missed the rest of the game.

Since I'm the one that wrote the book diary on that...

There's a very, very big difference between starting a freshman who outplayed all your upperclassmen in camp, vs. starting a freshman because he's all you've got. Their first and second team centers are both back from last year; this guy won the job.

their 2-deep is a redshirt. That's the sharpest contrast with UM right now - 4 of our top 6 OL (Cole, Onwenu, Bredeson and Ruiz) lack redshirts because OL recruiting and attrition forced frosh into starting roles. Hopefully the red shirting of Honigford, Steuben, Filiaga, Hall and Hudson will translate into a deep and mature OL in the coming years with a couple more years of Ruiz, Onwenu and Bredeson.

I think Badger fans have all been thinking that If we could just clean up the mistakes on offense, we'd be truly formidable, and a legitimate playoff team.

And I don't just mean the agonizing pick-6's, and the fumbles on the opponent's goal line: it's the stupid holding calls away from the ball; pre-snap penalties at the worst possible moment; and some dumbass personal fouls.

But eventually you have to recognize that "it's who you are." Young-ish OL, sophmore QB who split time with an RS senior last year, amazing but true frosh RB, and a very young - but promising - group of receivers.

These are all mental things. Stuff that should be "correctable." But maybe not this season.

That said, Hornibrook, has a knack for moving the sticks. The OL can open gaping holes. The young receivers have been really good. But, as Keith Jackson, used to say "pretty soon, they're gonna run out of feet to shoot themselves in."

I'm glad it's an early home game. Better for kids like them to get up, eat breakfast, head to Camp Randall and not have a whole lotta time to contemplate what a huge game this is gonna be. Just go play.

Don't think, Meat... Just pitch.

Yeah the contemplation part of it has me wondering if the mental advantage is against Wisco. Talk, whether true or not, that Michigan is Wisconsin's first true test can mess with an UNDEFEATED team if the Badgers see unfortunate things happen early. Can't say I would be unhappy about that, I just don't want Michigan to get blown out.

I've had an acct here for a while, just don't post much. Girlfriend is a UM grad and many in our extended group are UM grads, all of us heading back for the game this weekend. I'll be outnumbered about 18-6 in our group. When we go back to Ann Arbor for Michigan games, it's my job to read her the gameday writeup. And it's fun to get perspective from the other side.

I think Badger fans are understandably confident in this one while at the same time acknowledging the challenge the Michigan D presents. Or at least the more rational of us feel that way. I'm sure the students are expecting a blowout UW win, but anyone who has watched any college football this year knows anything can and likely will happen. No clue on the questionable guys. Dixon would be huge, though they didn't miss too much of a beat wthout him last weekend. (ETA: the pounding cheese curds and miller lites is also 100% accurate)

the Big 10 refs are going to protect their highest ranked snowflake and make sure it gets into the CFB playoff. Where it will promptly get destroyed and embarrass the whole conference. Just call it even and let the best team win! I’m so fucking tired of crappy part-time refs deciding outcomes.

Seriously. 

Michigan will need to score an extra 10 points just to even out the refereeing.  There is no way Delany (the refs actually work for the Big Ten office) is going to let his last hope for the Playoffs lose this game.

It will be last year's Ohio State game all over.

I don't take it personally, it's just the way they operate.  One day it will work in our favor.
