[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1043090, member: 17953"] What I found interesting in the game against Purdue is that when our two top receivers went out with injuries, the guys coming in and filling the spots, along with our #3 & #4 receivers, were getting better separation, and sitting down in holes, creating passing opportunities for Locke. That, along with how well the second level players on defense played, and I came away with the conclusion that the Badgers have recruited some darned good talent, and after this year, they could step it up substantially. Maybe, just maybe, too much emphasis was placed on making the highly touted transfers work, and it clouded the view of what others had to offer. As for Locke, his game was made by an offensive line that did a superb job from near the end of the 2nd quarter through the entire second half, and by running backs, who found creases in the defense, not gaps, and executed well. Also, don't forget those receivers, who played lights out. On defense, they had some moments of weakness, but stuck with the man coverage in key situations, and put significant pressure on Card, who I've watched since his being the starting QB for the University of Texas, since he came out of HS. His game was totally thrown off by that pass rush. It was a good game to come back after a week off to regroup. The Badgers played well, but they have to play even better down the road, if they want to end up with a respectable finish in the Big 10. [/QUOTE]
