Will be interested to see the revised defense, which is now a 3-4 base with myriad pressure packages. Should be a very good unit. #Badgers

#Badgers offense? It has some issues. QB situation needs clarity; scarcity of playmakers on the edge; line lacks depth. Good RBs and TEs.

Having a mobile QB is important to this #Badgers offense. Curt Phillips is most athletic, but he has had knee issues.

Kyle French nails a FG. Talked to #Badgers ST coach Jeff Genyk before the game. He likes French.

Lots of passing at #Badgers game. Makes sense. Lots of work for an aerial game that ranked last in the #B1G last season.

Melvin Gordon scores rush TD. I tell ya what: If I am a defensive coordinator, I am more scared of Gordon than I would be of Montee Ball.

Joel Stave looking to be in midseason form. On the money with his throws. Bart Houston also throws a nice ball; may have best arm. #Badgers

In this 3-4, it will be key for OLBs to make plays off the edge. To that end, Joe Schobert has looked good today. #Badgers
