2-MINUTE DRILL: After being snubbed (arguably) from the Outback, the 9-3 Badgers find a home an hour down the road near the land of Disney at Orlando’s Champs Sports Bowl. A classic matchup of size and strength versus speed and spark. Guess what Wisconsin represents? The Badgers averaged 39 PPG in their last five (four of those wins) and will look to give an undersized Miami defense a heavy dose of the bruising RB John Clay barrelling downhill between the tackles. On the other side of the ball, a Badger defense that has been opportunistic all season will try to land its paws on breakout QB Jacory Harris, who stole the national spotlight early in the season as he led the ‘Canes from the depths of mediocrity all the way to a Top 10 ranking.

VOICES IN THE CROWD:

10KBadger1: All I can say is do some homework before you speak. Who was the last team Miami played that has the raw physical talent of the Badgers defense? [The D-Line] averages 310 lbs. and they are physical. Same with the O-Line. I’ll give you that Miami is faster but what’s that speed going to do for you if you can’t run up the middle or outside? Wisconsin will have no problems running the ball… 300 lbs vs 260, 300 usually wins. If the Badgers pound the ball your D-Line will be so worn out before 1/2 time. The speed will help the passing game, yes. But your QB has issues… Call a duck a duck

sofa_king66: 10KBadger1, we beat up on slow fat white kids all the time. Having 300 lb linemen doesnt do anything for you. Virtually every team on our schedule has them except for Florida A&M and Duke maybe. Our QB has issues? I guess you mean too many INT’s, like I said before even with 4 picks the Badgers go down hard.

ROLLIN’ THE DICE: We like the good ol’ fashioned Wisconsin to win bet in this scenario. Don’t mess with a first half line or an over/under. This is a game that should be fairly predictable if you stay patient and refrain from prop bets or half bets. Wisconsin’s size should eventually wear an undersized ‘Canes defense down, and these units will stay on the field A LOT as Clay pounds out 6 yards-per-carry. Wisconsin should be able to pull this one out (or keep a lead) in the 4th quarter, and at +150, a money line bet pays fairly well.

Wisconsin RB John Clay, the only Big Tenner to rush for more than 100 YPG (111.3) and score double-digit TDs (13), looks to bruise an undersized Miami defense tonight in the Champs Sports Bowl.

CHILLIN’ IN O-TOWN:

Whatever you do, stay AWAY from the Interstate’s… The tolls will eat you alive. Other than that, here’s three things to do while you’re in Dwight Howard’s hood:

1. Gatorland - This place is crazy. First, you walk into the joint and sit on the back of a LIVE alligator (as dangerous as it sounds, it’s probably safer than walking around Madison with an Iowa tattoo… ahem… Bielema… ahem). Then, assuming you’re still alive, you can go to the back of the joint (where a restaurant resides) and eat gator bites and gator ribs. This appetizing cuisine will probably be thanks to the creature you’ve just sat on. Thankfully for you, though, you don’t even have to feel guilty for killing innocent animals. Gatorland has done the job for you.

2. Ron Jon’s Surf Shop - THE most renowned surf shop in America, and perhaps the world. Yea, it’s really touristy, but all the midwestern folk traveling down to Florida might find the sport of surfing quite fascinating. At Ron Jon (which sits on the world famous Cocoa Beach), you’ll be able to take surfing lessons and laugh at all of those people that think waves are more important than cow tipping.

3. Corona Cigar Company - A historic venue in the shadows of a vintage cigar factory. Florida’s cigar-rolling practice has more history than Bobby Bowden’s FSU team has academic ineligibilities. Plus, Corona has more than 1.5 million cigars, which is more than enough selection for Badger fans to pick one out to light up after a Champs Sports Bowl victory.
