Wisconsin Badgers vs. Maryland Terrapins

Without Corey Clement, UW just can’t run the ball consistently.

UW’s special teams contributed big plays, including a 98-yard kickoff return by Natrell Jamerson in the opening quarter, but a critical mistake.

UW’s defense surrendered more big plays than defensive coordinator Dave Aranda would like. Sam Thompson #12 of the Ohio State Buckeyes guarding Jake Layman #10 of the Maryland Terrapins during the second half in the game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Maryland Terrapins at the Value City Arena in The Jerome Schottenstein Center. Dodd is certainly better equipped as a shot blocker than a offensive finisher near the rim, but is continuing to improve in all facets of his game.

Maryland was defeated by Iowa 31-15 last week. “As I’ve said before, the scoreboard won’t define them, but it’s the effort, the preparation, and how you go about playing the game”. “I thought he did that tonight”.

Did Chryst consider making a change at quarterback? “You see guys that want to fight for their team”, Chryst said.

Stave looked off in the first half.

Maryland recover the ensuing onside kick, but an offside penalty on the Terps nullified the play.

Should Chryst have taken Stave out and inserted Bart Houston in an effort to jump-start the offense? And he’s got enough confidence in himself that he’s going to find a way.

He told reporters Monday he was experiencing soreness from the game, and when he struggled during the week at practice the staff decided Thursday he would remain home.

“It is disappointing for him”, Stave said, “because he wants to play”.

Who led the Badgers in rushing with Clement out?

The offense sputtered to 94 total yards – 57 of which came on a fake punt run – while UW found other ways to stay even at the half. Ogunbowale scored a 21-yard touchdown on the next play to put the Badgers ahead 14-7.

The Maryland Terrapins aren’t great, but wide receiver DeAndre Lane makes an outstanding diving catch on a deep vertical route versus the Wisconsin Badgers. Beathard completed 19 of 31 passes for 233 yards and one touchdown. I think we are fit.

The Maryland (2-6) will host Wisconsin (7-2) in a NCAA College Football battle at the Byrd Stadium, College Park, MD on November 7, 3:30 PM. Between quarterbacks Perry Hills, Daxx Garman, and Caleb Rowe, they have all collectively combined for a touchdown to turnover ratio of (12-23). He was sacked three times and threw one interception.

Taiwan Deal returned to the field for the first time since October 10 and finished with nine carries for 42 yards.

“The missing piece for us is just the attention to detail”, interim coach Mike Locksley said. We’re going to use everybody available to us on our roster to try to win games. “I wasn’t touched until I got to the returner”. We’ve had our opportunities to make plays.

Among those games was last week’s 48-10 win over Rutgers. Last week at a bar down on State Street during Halloween (trying to relive my youth with one of my old roommates – not recommended, you feel old quick), I tried a Polka City Porter, which was the smoothest dark beer that I’ve ever had, and may become my new go-to drink.

There are a few really good beers from Madison breweries like Ale Asylum (Hopalicious is one of their beers that instantly is a fan favorite) along with Capital Brewery on the far west side of town.
