Watching Miami, I still can't believe they rolled Notre Dame like they did. Woof.
Imagine if we didn’t have the worst throwing QB in college football.

Hornibrook is a legit player. He really showed up. Very mature, especially for a sophmore. This guy has NFL potential.
U 4 real???
Yeah, but honestly don’t know much about the guy other than tonight.
Which means I was exaggerating on the NFL comment based on my own ignorance.
But other than that, he played a great game.
Did he not?
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The last pass Alex Hornibrook threw before Saturday's Capital One Orange Bowl found the hands of Ohio State's Damon Webb, ending Wisconsin's hopes of a Big Ten title and a playoff berth.
Twenty-seven days later, Hornibrook looked like a completely different player, and in a game where Badgers star running back Jonathan Taylor set a freshman record for rushing, it was the beleaguered QB who stole the show.
Hornibrook completed 23 of 34 passes for 258 yards and four touchdowns against Miami's stout defense, utterly unraveling the Hurricanes on third down, and carried the load for the Badgers' offense in a 34-24 Orange Bowl win over the Hurricanes.
Against Ohio State, Hornibrook had looked lost at times, completing less than half his passes and throwing two interceptions. There were no signs of those struggles Saturday. He decimated the Canes' D, completing 7 of 10 passes for 85 yards and a touchdown on third down en route to game MVP honors.
...
For Wisconsin, there's no doubt who'll be at QB next season.
Hornibrook endured his share of growing pains this season, but the Orange Bowl felt like a turning point. The extra bowl practice clearly worked wonders, and a potential backfield tandem with Taylor next season would make Wisconsin a clear favorite to win the Big Ten West once again.

UW played an awesome game. Their OL made ours (vs UM) look like nobodys. They made Rozier look like the QB he truly is...weak and very beatable. I watch a game like this and wonder how UW is able to put together a solid team on both sides of he ball with basically a bunch of local brat-eating German farm boys. The upcoming series with them might be a regrettable schedule.
We're talented and soft and they're not.
That Badger game made me really upset with ND football the past decade. Even in 2015 half of our team didn't play with passion.
Watching the Badgers was like watching players battle with Braveheart. Watching ours looks like we're trying to pass the time between study hall.
Man the fuck up and play with pride.
