Wisconsin...... C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT
O'Brien......... 19/23... 219 9.5 2 0

Nice decision making under pressure, too. There were a couple times that panic would be a very natural response. But he scrambled, stayed focused downfield and threw catchable balls.

What were his 2nd half stats? He looked shaky in the 1st but really settled down in the 3rd quarter.

Re: Kollmorgen -vs- Wisky

Probably being overly picky here, but my only concern with his performance yesterday was that it seemed like every pass he completed he "lobbed" it in. He rarely ever stepped up and put any zip on the ball. I was anxious to see him do that to see what kind of arm he had, but he didn't really do it at all.

He did, however, show a nice touch on those lob passes and he showed good poise for the situation he was in.

Sideline pass to Johnson had some good zip on it.

Thats a change from the during game where my only concern was his lack of touch.

He can put plenty of zip on the ball...takes some time to get comfortable in actual hasn't situations though

This ^^ That was a great pass. Had to throw it about 35 yards for a crucial 8 yard gain. Nice first game under his belt, and it's all upside for our QB.

Re: Kollmorgen -vs- Wisky

The thing I was most impressed with in his passing Saturday was the location of his incompletions... too many times we have gone into games against higher level teams and threw 2-3 picks, makes the score unreachable quickly. Never ceases to amaze me how well our quarterbacks are coached in this area. Though Rennie even came a long way with this last year. Deep routes are overthrown, rather than underthrow, sideline passes are too far outside, rather than being picked up underneath and take for 6 the other way. Really smart football...

Well we did have one gift from that Wisconsin DB dropping one. But otherwise I really noticed the same thing. No turnovers was huge in this game.

Damn I wish we could have jumped on that fumble.

Re: Kollmorgen -vs- Wisky

A total of about 4 penalties & zero turnovers by both teams (with two new quarterbacks!) is quite a clean game, never mind the first game of the season!!!

Re: Kollmorgen -vs- Wisky

I thought a couple times UNI receivers gave up on some passes that they could have had a good chance to catch if they had reached (laid out) for them. Trust the QB...

Bumped for truth.

Some of those bombs could have been ESPN top plays if they would have laid out.

I believe those passes happened in the first half. From what I saw they all trusted him in the second half.

No, there were a couple of bombs that were overthrown in the second half where receivers probably weren't in range of laying out for. One or two timing pattern/hot reads where they weren't on the same page as well. Those are things that will get ironed out with some more reps.

The big thing though, it seems Bill and Mario found their passing-quarterback playbook midway thru the second half. We could be in for a fun ride as teams have to suddenly respect the air-assault and can't stack it up on Carlos and DJ.

The circle will be rally complete as the offense kicks into high gear and the defense doesn't have to spend 85% of the time on the field.

Re: Kollmorgen -vs- Wisky

sinkfield made a great catch but holy crap that was a big time throw as well.

Once they get game rep after this week to time things, they are going to be a very scary combo
