I agree we would probably have more wins this year with Edwards, emphasis on probably. But long term, I feel like giving Danny the reps this year with our daunting schedule would be better for us in the next couple year. Plus it just felt different with him out there, hard to put a pin on it, but it just felt like the whole team responded to his energy and leadership more than Edwards.
I hear you on that, and I don’t think you’re wrong about the value of Danny O’Neil getting those reps long term to some degree (I’m not sure he’s someone who has Power 4 starter upside on a quality team). The flip side is this really is a “what have you done for me lately” sport.
Everybody’s under pressure to win right now, and I’m not sure the Wisconsin football staff or program is in a spot where they can afford to do anything other than play whoever they feel gives them the best chance in the moment.
Good, informative post. Seems like if we didn't have bad luck, we wouldn't have any luck at all.
That’s for damn sure. Let’s hope this injury doesn’t continue to rear its ugly head, and Billy Madison can get healthy!
