Smashmouth football on full display?
B/R projects a battle between the Wisconsin Badgers and the Texas Longhorns in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl in Tuscon, Arizona. Probably one of the more intriguing matchups with two schools who have played each other just once.
Wisconsin’s offense was all sorts of bad in recent losses to Northwestern and Indiana, but the Badgers have one of the nation’s stingiest defenses, per usual. And then there’s Texas, which just scored 69 points against Kansas State and could do the same against Kansas this coming week if it so chooses. This would be an intriguing final collegiate test for Texas QB Sam Ehlinger—assuming he leaves for the NFL draft rather than coming back for a fifth season.
