[After THE JUMP: the player and what we said]
--------------------------------------------
1. Nebraska Preview: Offense
Get Martinez throwing off his back foot, and please get off the field ASAP. Respectable defense too but Seth thinks the OLBs are crackable. Special teams are a foot shooting gallery.
2. Nebraska Preview: Defense
starts at 14:52
Not the 2018 confused guys, also not Wisconsin. Good LB and a pair of DTs. Can they be edged?
3. Wisconsin After UFR
Starts at 30:53
Seth explains the Cade cyan for 15 minutes.
4. Seth’s Hockey Podcast wsg Nate Wells
Starts at 51:20
Part II of our preview for the year, featuring THE guy to talk about college hockey, even if he wants to talk about Minnesota and then have his internet cut out on him mid-segment so we couldn’t get into how bad MSU and OSU are going to be.
MUSIC:
Tonight’s featured musician is Via Mardot of Holland, MI, and three tracks off of self-titled 2020 album. Wife and I discovered her music last year, and I asked for this one personally. Olivia Mainville makes Frenchy indie with Pulp Fiction vibes. Find her on Instagram. My favorite of hers is Wreck but the songs I chose for the pod were:
- Stand
- War
- Tie to the Bar
And because Sony bought Across 110th Street and slapped a claim on us, the opener and outro:
- “The Employee is Not Afraid”—Bear vs. Shark
- “Ruska Vodka”—Motorboat
If you or a friend made some good tunes and don't have a label out scrubbing for them we'd be happy to feature you.

A couple things for Seth:
Regarding the discussion of Cade's cyan on the podcast: the label is "Trouble Spot" and typically has been given to someone whose issues have been a detriment to their team. I understand that you've basically defined the cyan label, but I think you are over-estimating the issues that Cade has. The offense still ran for almost double what Wisconsin allowed against PSU and ND combined, so he's not killing the running game. Cade was off for a bit in the Washington and Rutgers games passing-wise, but no QB has failed to struggle a bit so far this season, outside of Bama. The offense has been very solid so far this year, outside of one half against Rutgers. It seems hard to see how Cade is holding them back from being better.
In the same regard, I know the UFR is still something you are hitting your stride with and I think you're doing an awesome job overall. One place I'd like to note a possible over-reaction is for offensive RPS. This year's offense has AVERAGED the same RPS value as the Army game from 2019 - a known disaster. It seems unlikely the O would be generating 3 score leads in most games while being run as badly as that. It's not just a couple outliers pulling the average far down either - every game this season has seen a huge RPS number.
I don't bring that up to yell or claim you are doing a poor job - you are doing an awesome job with your expanded role. I just wanted to offer some perspective, especially about the RPS, that might be useful going forward.
I just don't think the offense is performing so well with a cyan QB and with playcalling on par with the Army game week-in and week-out.

Something to watch: saw a Nebraska guy on Twitter note that they went to more heavy 6 and 7 man protections vs Northwestern in order to protect their young OL. This was generally successful but could just be a NW thing. But I see this as their planned mitigation for Hutchinson and co. It'll be key for the DBs to stick with the Nebraska WRs and for the LBs to not get lost on play action.

Here you are assuming that the heavy 6/7 gets the job done on Hutchison/Ojabo (vs. far less talent on the NW defense). There is also a cost to leaving a chipping RB in the back.
That they were going heavy vs. NW says something, about something.

Brian was so uninterested in talking about football he tried to rush through every segment in order to get to the part where he could talk about hockey where everyone stops listening. Lol

We have seen some recent QBs at Michigan truly deserving of a cyan circle... for now, Cade is not one of them.
