I've been impressed with Tim Keenan thus far in the season. Seems like every game, he'll come up with a sack or a TFL or get good pressure on the QB or make a critical tackle. IMO, he's really stepped up his game and seems to get better and better.

The DLine in general has been outstanding.

Might have just been me and they never showed a good replay but it looked like Robinson pulled up on the punt block near their goal line.

Guess he thought he might get a roughing, but it sure looked live like he had that blocked.

The left side of the Badger OL handled us pretty well at times.

Wisconsin has a good offensive line. They always do.

Their OL has been pretty bad since they moved to an air raid, so it’s not really true anymore

DT’s have been fantastic but the edges have been poor at times with the run. Its still really weird not having the same run defense we saw under Saban

They have multiple NFL level prospects up front but I agree they haven’t played effectively YTD.

I think when they just lined up late and ran power they showed what they’re capable of with a better scheme.

Great pic.

Keenan can really flash at times. He is not just a plug in the middle. He has got some pass rush moves; closer to Q than he is Mt Cody.

Keenan reshaped his body after his freshman year and it paid off. His HS film always showed a great motor, he's now got the body to keep up with it.

The UGA game will show just what this defense is all about. If we can't stop the run, then we're in big trouble. Our two ILBers have to play much better going forward.

#10 Otis doesn't appear to be all in on this defense. His body language says it all.

We'll see.

Yeah, he had a rough looking MCL injury.

He showed up to Bama at like 380+ and realized he was doing himself a disservice. Think he's around 315 now?

I really don't like when a head coach decides to wildly change offensive schemes. It is often a disaster. Wisconsin had a 3 decade tradition of playing pro-style run-heavy offense. They had a pedigree for developing great OL and tailbacks.

Alabama had a similar reputation when Saban arrived and his early offenses were tooled to accentuate that identity. Over time, he got back to his more balanced approach from LSU where a feature receiver would be one of the best players on the offense some seasons. By the later years of his career, Alabama was producing top NFL quarterback prospect operating a more or less pro-spread scheme. So when they brought in a new head coach who runs an air-raid inspired pro-spread offense, it basically was seamless.

Fickell's move here reminds me of the Tony Franklin train wreck Tuberville brought upon himself. He needed to gradually open up the offense over several seasons as they retooled their recruiting priorities to bring in better receivers. I fear this move is going to end his tenure as a power conference coach sooner rather than later.

I thought the same thing. They need to block a few this year. Lost art.

He should get down to about 295, all muscle. He's quick for a fat guy. But he could become fast for a big guy, with the right training.

Between Keenan, Overton, and Q Robinson we've got a pretty decent pass rush
