Wisconsin favored by 7

Any chance some our injured players offense or defense will play. Also a few players nicked up against Clemson. Any word on those players health

The Orange Bowl against Wisky is a great matchup against the Canes team we have right now. Still... we must establish an effective running game so we put less pressure on Rosier to convert 3 downs throwing... and we need to consult the play-calling Gods for some much needed enlightenment.
 
My prediction is if richards is back healthy for this game we win . Without him and herdon it might be a loss. But wisconsin runs the kinda offense this D eats up as they like to run run pass run and the kind of O's that give UM trouble like to pass pass run pass ( pass to set up the run ) .

Pretty sure there is no question - they're out. Certainly out Herndon and pretty certain on 82.

Yes. Both out for the bowl game. That said...


27 - 16 Canes

 
I can't remember where I heard it (Gameday?), but several weeks ago it was stated that Vegas oddsmakers would make Wisconsin a one point favorite over Miami on a neutral field.

My, how perceptions have changed. The Orange Bowl is hardly neutral and we're now catching 7 points. I'm also happy we're not facing Bama. Wisky gives us a shot.
 
After making the trip to Charlotte I don't think i can watch this team again this season. BB will save me but I just want this FB season over with

Wisconsin lost the only big game they played in all year last night. That was the chance they needed and they failed like everyone figured they would.
 
If our offense can't put points on the board how can we be favored? Our offense needs to step up, obviously. I don't understand how people are surprised or upset by that.

Well we can't kick, punt, throw, run, block or tackle, so......

I'll take a rested Canes team over them any day. We finally get a break after 11 straight weeks. We will be faster and the defense will dominate.

Badgers are my #2 team behind the Canes, so I've seen some games this year. Running game is elite, QB is trash (more accurate than Rosier but weak arm and no threat to run), and their biggest receiving weapon is the TE. Defense has good stats but, as we saw last night, they don't have much experience facing the speed we'll have. Of course we'll have to play well in all facets to win, but I like our chances against Wisconsin vastly more than against Bama, for example.

That elite rushing attach put up 60 yards last night. I am significantly more concerned about our offense going up against there defense.

The DB’s are slow and Malik will hit some open receivers. 31-24 Canes!!!!!!!

How many Wisconsin games have you watched this year Ivan? Are you assuming that the DB's are slow because they play on a BIG 10 team?

Their QB has no arm. He looks average at best. I would stack the box and crush their offense. Should be a good game because of their defense but we should win to finish off a good season.
 
You guys are going all ESPN sucking off Wisconsin defense. 4 teams they played offense is ranked 120th or worse. 6 are 100th or worse. After Ohio St you have to go back to NW at 59th for the next best offense. If we show any kind of life on offense we win easy.

Dream matchup for us considering what the other options were. If we lose to Wisconsin in our own stadium then this season was a huge failure.

Yeah. Miami losing three consecutive games would absolutely indicate a relatively unsuccessful season and all that. :puzzled: hUh.

That's the million dollar question, baby. Which Hurricane team shows up. The team which defeated both VA. Tech and mighty ND. Or the team which was throttled by lowly Pittsburgh and mighty Clemson. dUh.
