I am a Wisconsin Badger Alum and after watching that O-line on Saturdays the Niner's ineptitude only seems that much more pronounced. I just don't get it, how can a unit with so many high-picks be so consistently outplayed in nearly all aspects of the game? I've heard a few people throw around Solari's name as a scapegoat, hard to say I'm not thinking of it myself.
Badger fan from central Wisconsin here. Any Badger fan that is a 49er fan also gets tortured watching th 9ers OL Sunday after seeing the Badgers OL on Saturdays. All these years that's what we wanted to be able to do but can't. Still its the NFL and it's a lot tougher to run the ball. Watching Wisconsin OL/RB is a thing a beauty though. You got everyone driving back their guys on most of the plays. Then you get guys pulling and OL hitting the second level. A lot of times the Badger RBs have truck sized holes to run through and don't get touched until they are in the secondary. One of the few old school teams left in college football.
Edit: As for Gore at times I thought to myself like he had checked out of the game. Never seen him like that before. I hope it's his ankles and him hurting. Might be time to give him a few weeks rest or really limit him in a 2/3 back system. Get him healthy again....
