Bart Houston was a 4 star and I personally believed he deserved more than just one year splitting snaps with Hornibrook. Always irritates me how we let Stave start instead of giving this kid a chance.
Didn't matter Bart Houston was a 4-star, he looked good enough and pulled off a huge upset against LSU, Paul Chryst favored Hornibrook which is why Bart faded. He was clearly underrated and deserved more than what he got.
@@RedArrow2007 And if he blew this game you likely wouldn't be saying that. The reality is the coaches are the ones who see the players in all the practices, not us fans. Could have been an issue with an expanded playbook, could have been consistency issues... who knows what the issue truly was, but Houston wasn't out there griping about it, so it didn't seem like something he was surprised with.
@@MST3Killa Blowing one game is not like getting worse during the season. Did Jack Coan have horrible practices that he had to transfer to start for the fighting Irish? And did Mertz have such great practices that allowed him to have 3 good games and the rest subpar?
@@RedArrow2007 Houston was19-31... 205 yards... 2 ints. That was his stats. He had a terrible game. And you're going to tell me he was underrated? He deserved 'so much better'? Lol, whatever dude. That's ignorant AF>
This was really a special year for Wisconsin. Even though all 3 losses were complete heartbreaks in really close games against top 10 teams, at least 2 of which we really should have come away with a win--all in all with the level of competition we played that year and to still go 11-3 was something special.
I seem to remember that there was a pregame chat with a bunch of "experts" and Aaron Rodgers before this game. Aaron was the only one to pick Wisconsin to win this game. Also the old creep next to him called him "Blue Eyes" when he gave his pick for the winner of a different game.
Crap I gotta make another comment because I forgot this point. I'm from Green Bay, this game gave me SO MUCH PRIDE! There were a solid 20k+ LSU fans that made the trip here. They were going through some flooding down there in Louisiana, and we just welcomed them with open arms. I recall several news outlets talking to LSU fans and they were just GUSHING on how Green Bay was the best town they had ever visited. It made me so happy to hear that on how well we treated LSU fans!
I need to start watching more Wisconsin sports. Been a Packer fan for about 10 years and a Bucks fan for 3. I feel like I miss on a lot by not watching college football.
You're going to love and hate the Badgers, they're one of the best teams in the past decade in Win/Loss record, but they'll break your heart and deny you National Title game opportunities. Every other college football team has an NFL caliber QB on their hands except the Badgers, but they make up for it with an NFL caliber defense, an offensive line BIGGER than the Green Bay Packers, and some of the best running backs in the country on a consistent basis! they are fun! If you want to watch another game, look up their Big 10 championship game in 2012 vs Nebraska, it will make your jaw drop!
Also consider right now how many Badgers on this team made the NFL in the coming years, whether they're still active or not. Just the defense alone. Natrell Jamerson, Biegel, Watt, Cichy, Chris Orr, D'Cota Dixon, Leon Jacobs, TJ Edwards, Nick Nelson, Zach Baun. ALL of these guys made it to the NFL!
I forgot how had Houston played in this one, he nearly single handedly gave the game away after a great performance by our defense to shut down Fournette. Exciting times ahead for the Badgers now that we run a modern offense that good quarterbacks and receivers will actually want to play in.
I’ll always remember this game for the fact of how fun it was, and that savior pick at the end. Though that late hit will always piss me off. How fucking self-centered, you can feel the ego from that LSU player.
It's so funny, my favorite NFL game of all time was Packers vs Bears in 2014, the Sunday Night Massacre, for being the hysterical amazing blowout that I sleep to every night. But my favorite Badger game? It's this one. The Badgers dominated defensively for 59/60 minutes, almost CONSTANTLY in LSU's backfield! They had 0 answers for our ELITE front 7. Alec James, Conor Sheehy, Sagapolu, TJ Watt, Ryan Connelly, Jack Cichy, Vince Biegel, one of the best front 7's in college football history, and it was a 3-4! Prior to this game the media just shat all over the Badgers, they thought we were going to get blown the F out! They thought Fournette would run all over us, and Jacory Harris would look like an NFL prospect. Only A-Rod showed faith in the Badgers that morning on College Gameday! What happens? Fournette gets held to 7 rushing yards in the 1st half, and Harris throws a game ending pick to D'Cota Dixon! ON WISCONSIN! I was JUMPING the moment the Badgers won! A real shame tho that Bart Houston would end up relinquishing his job to Hornibrook mid season. Prior to Mertz, Houston and Budmayr were the only 4* QB recruits we ever got, both grade 80, and neither one saw much action (Budmayr got hurt). Now we have Mertz, and the Badgers are still reluctant to play him because experience (you can't be THAT conservative in college football!). Grinds my gears how they're treating an 86 grade 4* QB, if any other team got Mertz, he'd be starting right away.
@@wontonanimalchin while true, he didn't do anything with the Badgers sadly, I recall they wanted to move him to a different position and he ended up transferring.
@@brayden2k23 Mertz hurts so much, I wanted him to be good so bad especially after the Illinois game, but idk what happened man, to this day feels like Chryst closed the playbook on him for some reason instead of opening it. Hope Mertz does well in Florida.
iirc, about 20k+ LSU fans were sold tickets to, 20k+ Wisconsin fans, and the rest were sold to Green Bay and it was sold out within a week when tickets went on sale.

The Fumagalli and Gaglianone game.
I refuse to believe this was over 4 years ago
Also, seeing Skaggs and Fernandez on the bottom of the screen made me really sad
Now 8 👀 time flies

Only one that Wisconsin did not have a chance with was Michigan from what I remember Michigan left 28+ points off the board.
One of the best Badgers games ever #OnWisconsin

@@pokezimmcan't wait to lose to New Mexico or some random smaller school
Lots of NFL talent in this game.
This was a great game. Cant wait for Friday night.
I forgot how much of a defensive battle this game was!

Man I remember watching this game with my family... good times man thanks for uploading memories!
You’re welcome! Always love reliving these games.

I still remember watching this in the basement of my cabin in 2016. Good times.

Miss those players on that team
Both teams were loaded with NFL talent
I remember sitting in bay county jail Florida watching this game cheering for Wisconsin. I’m a Seminole so I hate the SEC.
Basically everybody’s name that got called in this video is an nfl player lmao

Well with Coan injured, maybe for the whole season we’ll get our chance to see Mertz this year!! Hoping for the best
DJ Gillins (HS class of 2014) was a 4 star with a grade 80 from ESPN...

And now look where that led us 💀 Mertz was absolutely terrible

When you are sitting in quarantine and you look at a full stadium. “Oh look a full stadium, how rare”
It seems like Wisconsin dominated and tried to give the game away. Now they succeed in giving games away
The intro was a cool addition
This is another reason why the SEC never likes to schedule true road games🤣
First person to comment on the video I'm a huge packers fan I love your videos man keep it up.
Thank you!!!
Wow that was a FULL stadium!
iirc, about 20k+ LSU fans were sold tickets to, 20k+ Wisconsin fans, and the rest were sold to Green Bay and it was sold out within a week when tickets went on sale.
Bart Houston forgot all about him came to play this day....wi tuff thru ingeruries stuck it out

TJ Watt's coming out party
Go Pack Go
Go Blue
Weird comment, but okay.
