Badger of Honor predicts Wisconsin football vs. New Mexico

The contributors at Badger of Honor expect Wisconsin football to dominate this weekend.

Taylor Laabs (@TaylorLaabs): The Badgers continue the undefeated season thanks to a heavy dosage of Hornibrook play action and a combo of Jonathan Taylor and Taiwan Deal, who seems to have solidified himself as the spell-back for JT. The offensive line starts to find its stride and the defense continues to create chaos through a few timely interceptions and third down stops. Wisconsin 45, New Mexico 7.

Steven Tondi (@TondisMaximus21): After a somewhat unimpressive performance by the offensive line last week, the O-line comes out hungry and dominates New Mexico’s front seven. Taylor and the Badger running backs run all over Camp Randall and lead the way to a convincing victory. Wisconsin 56, New Mexico 10.

Christian Borman (@christianborman): New Mexico is out to prove its big offensive game a fluke against one of the top defensive units in the country. Expect Taylor to go off this weekend against the Lobos weak defense. The Badger’s defense will be too much for the Lobos offense to handle. Wisconsin 44, New Mexico 10.

Sam Land (@samland23): New Mexico may have put up big numbers last week, but the Lobos’ defense left much to be desired against Incarnate Word of the FCS. Last week’s point total against Western Kentucky was a little lower than the Badgers probably would have liked, but I expect this Wisconsin offense to explode on Saturday while the defense puts on another masterful performance. Wisconsin 52, New Mexico 7.

Zac Pestine (@Zac_Pestine):  Jim Leonhard and the Badgers defensive depth will be tested throughout the season, especially with the loss of Dontye Carriere-Williams, Patrick Johnson, and Arrington Farrar. The Lobos scored 62 points last week, granted it was to Incarnate Word. New Mexico’s run defense was a sieve, and both Jonathan Taylor and Taiwan Deal should eat in this one. Wisconsin 42, New Mexico 17.

Joe Orlofski (@joeorlofski): FCS opponent incarnate word put up 30 points against New Mexico last week, including 566 yards of offense. That means the Badgers should have no problem moving the ball against the Lobos. The Lobo offense will probably test the Badger defense, but they won’t get away with another high scoring game. Wisconsin 52, New Mexico 17.

Tanner Nestle (@NestleIsTheName): The Lobos gave up way too many yards last week to an FCS team to make me think this game will be even close to last week’s final score against WKU. Wisconsin 52, New Mexico 3.
