- DL/LB: This was his first game played and against an excellent DL.

- Wisconsin's home opener against Western Illinois should be an opportunity for the Badgers to stretch their legs after a lopsided loss to Notre Dame in Week 1. - Looking ahead to Week 2: Cooper is unique in that he's one of just two designated defensive linemen (along with freshman Djidjou Bah) listed under 300 pounds. - Despite that, the Appalachian State transfer had a strong debut for the Badgers and... - Comment: Jung absolutely ole'd a couple tackles last year as well.

- Wisconsin's frequent zone coverage against Notre Dame left checkdowns and intermediate in-breaking routes to the field-side outside receiver as the opportunities Freeman identified, allowing Carr to prioritize efficient underneath decisions instead of repeatedly forcing deep throws.

- QB: Yes, QBs are lining up all around the world to play for defensive minded Dan Lanning.

- Luke Fickell praised Colton Joseph's poise after the interception returned for a touchdown but said timing problems and possibly pressure contributed to the play, leaving execution corrections for Wisconsin's passing game. - Fickell said Notre Dame paired productive early-down runs with quick throws against soft coverage in the second half, keeping Wisconsin out of favorable third-and-long situations. - Fickell praised Malachi Coleman's touchdown reception and competitiveness after missed camp practice time, indicating Wisconsin expects him to remain an important receiving contributor. - Fickell said Wisconsin needs more consistent downhill running while recognizing Abu's burst to the edge, making the establishment of a dependable run game an ongoing offensive priority. - Fickell linked Harry Bortolotti's kickoff-return role partly to injuries among other candidates, including one player's three-week camp absence with an ankle issue, without supplying new return timetables.

- LB: Regression from linebackers under Tressel's scheme has occurred before.

- OL/DL: Still just unsure if our OL struggled a a bit cause ND is really solid in the DL, or if Collins still can’t figure out how to get the trenches stronger.

- DB: Blackman looked small out there next to Heywood and clubberly.

- KICKER: Nearly impossible to win games against top teams with dreadful offense and a defense that doesn’t generate turnovers to help out the offense.

- OL/DL: To your first point I think ND’s OL & DL just wore UW down.

- Pick/market: I look at that schedule and see 6 possible/probably losses unless something turns around this season and Sunday was an anomaly.
