[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1011077, member: 17953"] Another thing that people need to remember is that Fickell and his crew have already shown us how good they are at grabbing players out of the portal that can help immediately. Some people think it's all about getting 4 or 5 star players, but that's not necessarily the case. Often, the idea is to get guys who are pretty darned good, but stuck behind some guy on another team, who has two years to go, and is going to be a first couple rounds NFL pick. They look for a place to play for at least two years, and improve their own draft potential. From what I've seen of Fickell's portal grabs, they really know what they're doing. I'm thumbs up on that area of the game as well. A couple of things that a lot of people don't realize, about the Wisconsin offensive line. The returning Badgers, from before Fickell, were coached to play a tighter formation. In the Air Raid, there are splits between the linemen, and the way they need to block, and assignments, are often way different than they've ever encountered before. Personally, I think they're doing quite well, under the circumstances. Then there's the defense. Square pegs and round holes in some cases. Some darned good athletes are finding it difficult getting on the field because they're still learning the nuances of how to play in this defense. I think they're progressing fairly well, and there are some real studs out there who are on the verge of exploding. No matter what happens against Ohio State, people should NOT read anything into it. They should get destroyed! It's like a Wisconsin Jr. High team playing against Georgia. You know it's not going to be pretty, because they're just starting to build the program. [/QUOTE]
