They should call this the Disappointment Bowl as two preseason top-10 teams fell massively short of expectations. The environment should favor Wisconsin, but Miami is clearly the superior defensive team. In a game someone has to win, I'll go with the Badgers behind running back Jonathan Taylor.

Why should they? Coach Richt is " good ol' boy country all the way! " Heck, he's spent most of his life at FSU and Georgia and what not. He, also, still has a house in Georgia and will return their after his Miami Hurricane T.D.Y. hUh. Oh, and one more thing. Don't let that minor HS stint in Palm Beach county and the university years at Thee Gables FOOL U! Coach Richt is your typical SEC good ol' boy head coach and all that. Nothing more, nothing less.

The key is the ARTIC frigid windy weather ( WIND CHILL is a bytch! ) and the MOTIVATION of the players. Because the VAST MAJORITY of the players voiced they wanted to go bowling somewhere warm and comfy and what not.

The bottom line is this is the absolute WORST bowl game scenario for Miami and all that. So Cane fan will find out what kind of motivator Richt is and all that. As for Diaz, I don't have any problems he'll have the defense ready to play. It's the offense which should concern Cane fan.

Also, defense and a good running game and passing are keys to winning in Artic like weather conditions ( Strong gusty winds will HINDER going vertical. ) . Nevertheless, the Canes offensive line probably will get mauled by an AVERAGE Wisconsin front seven. OUCH.

#4...that is who we are. It's the new UM football. If our players aren't interested, we lose games (duke, uva, etc). If we're interested, we can compete vs anyone in the country. More often than not, we're not interested. We do less with more better than anyone else.
 
Would be a good game to see Jarren Williams get some live action. Wisconsin defense isn't that good but is better than most.
 
Is there a single shred of proof or even a rumor the players are “disinterested”?

Cause a lot of people on here have also said multiple times that Richt has “lost this team” as the guys busted their asses to end the season strong.

Our starting QB doesn't study the game.

I'd say the huge numbers of dropped passes and the star receiver saying, "F it, I'm out", before the end of season qualifies.
