That’s my thought too. It’s not hurting anyone and these kids need something to feel good about.. and if students are still showing up just let them do whatever they want.

Yeah, I think Fickell probably played it right though and not having Smith’s first game action on the road against Oregon.

Yeah, completely agree there. I think we’ve seen some things we can take from the last few weeks though, this team still plays hard for Fickell and I think that can’t be ignored. They could have fallen apart weeks ago, they haven’t

The talent on offense is just so damn young.

Oh yeah, I’m not calling this season successful but this year, even under the best circumstances, was going to be a tough year. It was just such a tough schedule.

This team just needed some wins. Even though it really didn’t do anything for the season as a whole, that win against Washington was big for this team. Just being able to mentally relax, gain some confidence, it’s huge going forward. Now they may have 2 wins against ranked opponents.

Also Smith hasn’t been the problem tonight in the passing game, it’s been the OL once again.

Because the coaching staff believes he’s the best pure passer which is odd to me but that’s why.

They let 35 seconds go off the clock because they are scared of allowing a 3rd and 15?

I understood it when it was Crowl, Ruevers, even Winter because they are big men and badgers were thin so you couldn’t afford to lose them but his management with guards is so annoying and it can cost them games. Surprising that he hasn’t moved away from this.
