  • Go Big Ten!

  • Keep an eye on O'Brien Schofield (DE Wisconsin #50). He's an explosive edge rusher with the athleticism to play 3-4 OLB. However, instincts might be an issue: Wisconsin tried to turn him into a linebacker a few years ago, and he couldn't make it work.

    Some think he'll end up being limited to a nickel rusher role, but I like his upside in the 3rd round.

    Nice player.

    Plays like his "Underwear is on fire"? LOL, who was the kid from Wisconsin that they said that about earlier inthe decade?

    (No, not "Maddog in a meatlocker" Junkin)

  • Wow, Clay is living up to the billing. Big, smart, patient, and can break away.

  • Watch #50 on both teams #50 LB Darryl Sharpton of Miami is a stud, leads the Hurricanes in tackles and #50 DE O'Brien Schofieldof Wisconsin reminds me of Mike Vrabel.

  • Sharpton's expected to go low in the draft because of his height (5'11") and below average coverage ability, but I like how he plays. He's made great strides from last year, when he didn't look like he knew what he was doing on the field.

    Might be a late bloomer who surprises at the next level.

  • I've liked Nick Toon everytime I've seen a Wisconsin game. I thought I was bias because of his dad, but the kid is running great patterns and catches the ball effortlessly. Even the catch out of bounds was a beauty.

    Another one to follow over the next year or two.

  • Wisc TE Lance Kendricks has a great pair of mits, and even Wisc RB John Clay picked a nice low pass off the carpet.

    GO BIG TEN!!!

  • Whiskey's looking good. I hope they hange on...I picked them in the bowl-mania challenge. I'm a biased Big Ten fan.

    GO BIG TEN!

  • Wisc TE, Kendricks has 7 catches 128 yards through 3-qtrs of play. Kids got great hands and gives his QB a nice target by sealing off his coverage.

  • Horrible fumble for a touchback. That TD could have been the coup de grace. Christ, they need to finish. They can't let Miami hang around.

  • Man, Wisconsin is tough. They are letting the Hurricanes hang around but so far they have over-come everything from the fumble to every big gain this second half called back on a penalty.

    I'm liking Wisconsins Junior QB Scott Tolzien.

  • Great fumble recovery. C'mon Badgers. Close 'em out.

    Go Big Ten!

  • I'm telling ya, #50 Sharpton for Miami can play. Under-sized or not, that kid is the only one who can bring down Clay by tackling him up high.

    #50 Schofield has definately lived up to his billing too.

    Best Bowl game so far, IMO.

    Physically, he reminds me of Bart Scott, but he's got more pass rush ability. All the tools are there - just gotta make sure he's got the mental makeup to play LB.

  • Schofield definitely looked like a 3-4 OLB on that play.

    How did you like him dropping back into coverage on that first down play? He came back up and made the tackle at the line of scrimmage. that showed a lot of what he will need to do at the next level.

  • Does Miami run anything other than a screen pass on offense?

  • Yep, that was good to see. Ideally, you'd also like to see him play some LB at the Senior Bowl practices and score highly on the Wonderlic, but that play was promising.

    Also saw him in the Michigan game correctly diagnose a screen play and chase down the ball carrier for no gain. That made me more confident about his read&react ability.
