Did anyone else SERIOUSLY enjoy Nebraska's welcome to the Big 10 game? I found it to be very entertaining. GO BADGERS!

The first 20 football minutes was exactly what I expected. Then, the Badgers just blew their doors off.

I actually called that ass-whoopin. Wisconsin has the one ingredient most important in winning football games... a monster offensive line that works well together.

I think the only thing keeping them from top 5 status (in my mind) is the lack of a game-changing WR.

Dude, you are the first person to make that statement other than myself. Give a mediocre quarterback enough time and he will look like a star. Blow a hole open big enough to drive a truck through, and Emmitt Smith can become the leading rusher. And in college it is every bit as important.

I dunno, Lou. There are a lot of folks that understand offense, and defense for that matter, starts with the line.

I just think that today's game, and the media, emphasize the "stars" like WR's, RB's and QB's.

Why do you think GM's draft OL like Joe Thomas and DL like Ndamukong Suh so high? They know...

It's just nobody says "Man, I hope my team drafts that road grader offensive lineman #1!" Most fans want the sexy pick... WR, RB and QB.

That is because they look better in the spandex costumes than the linemen.

It all starts up front. Remember the power sweep run by Green Bay or the pitch out to Jim Brown in the 60's? The opposition knew it was coming but because of the power blocking, they couldn't stop it.

Smash mouth football

Dredges a bad taste in my mouth. Remember the freak of nature offensive lineman drafted 2nd overall by the Pack... ahead of Hall of Famers Barry Sanders and Derrick Thomas? Tony Mandrich... one of the biggest busts in NFL

Mandarich was akin to Mike Mamula. Beast in the combine, no talent in the NFL. GM's and coaches need to start watching GAME FILM on players, instead of relying on what they can do at the combine... which they get coached for.

College players that dominate in college, against good competition, usually pan out. Not many busts coming out of the SEC, didja notice?
