Crisis for Badger fans

Both Badger starting offensive guards have suffered leg injuries. One is out and one is questionable.

Tough game for the Badgers:
On the beat: Wisconsin should be wary of tough BYU road environment

Sitake did explain Hannemann missing the 2nd half. He said it was extra punishment for 2 targeting hits in a 3 game stretch.

Which is a good coaching moment. You can't play like Hannemann was playing. Targeting is an ejection penalty for a reason.

Our field goal kicker is awful, even from PAT range.
Especially when we sit our perfect long-snapper (Matt Foley) who has literally graded out perfect in every game of his career and instead let walk-on lob the ball short to the holder. That always helps.

Don't forget to mention how awesome our pooch kick game is....
WUT?! I don't follow the long snapping game too closely, but this seems strange.
Very strange. Something weird is going on with personnel this season. Butch sits PSU. Hanneman doesn't play 2nd half against U. #98 long snaps on a field goal instead of Foley on the missed FGA, and there aren't any explanations -- not to the media, and not to the Cougar Club so far either.
As a new Cougar Club member I think I'm entitled to some insider info!!

LOL. That wasn't what I was getting at. The prior staff, for all the talk about how they were with fans, was much more open about personnel and progress at Cougar Club luncheons and meetings than they were with the media. That's what I was referring to. Sitake is still more open with the Cougar Club, but personnel is a no-fly-zone.

I did notice hanneman was missing second half vs Utah. What the heck? I noticed there was no good explanation. I'm fine with Pau'u not playing PSU.

Currently BYU has a fairly solid bend-but-don't-break defense that stops the run well, prevents the deep pass well, and is extremely tough in the red zone, but brings no pressure on the QB, doesn't blitz, and prefers to sit back in a vanilla scheme and give receivers a bubble of free space. So we give up yardage and first downs, and are poor on 3rd down, but we limit TDs and tend to keep scores low.

On offense, we suck.

Special teams, we have strong punt and kick coverage. Our kick returner can be dangerous, but our punt return is non-existent. Our punter has a decent leg, but sometimes tries to do too much. Our field goal kicker is awful, even from PAT range. We have the ability to block the occasional FG attempt.

Basically, if the badgers don't run roughshod over BYU, you may have to adjust your season expectations. Or, BYU figured out how to play football again.
