Yep, I agree Tim. They had chances to make plays and didn’t. I also wonder if Stave shouldn’t have gotten some play in the 2nd half after seeing the deep ball he threw.

On Wisconsin!

Agree with 2 very bad calls that went against Bucky, but to beat a team like Stanford you have to execute on offense. Badgers didn’t do that, too many dropped balls at crucial times. Hammond dropped a pass you simply can’t drop, White a screen with great potential, Abbrederis a touchdown. Frankly I thought the play calling in the second half was dismal, Stanford defense made adjustments in second half, Badger offense flat out didn’t adjust at all in second half to what Stanford defense was doing. Abbrederis really needs another receiver to step as well, our other wide receivers are average at best and not what we are used to seeing at Wisconsin. Next season should be promising though with a lot of guys coming back and I really like Andersen as head coach and new Offensive coordinator

Well the ref’s blow two huge calls in a very close game. Both on punts and both in favor of Stanford. The first was unconscionable, no roughing the kicker on a totally obvious roughing. Basically Stanford didn’t lose anything. If called correctly, the Badgers are still driving and possibly going to tie or take the lead. Later they call a personal foul on the Badgers on a ridiculously late fair catch signal giving Stanford a leg up on their field goal to increase the lead beyond the 3 points. It’s a shame when bad calls effect such a close and well played game.
