Who said that?

Gobaseline said, "Like WMU there was never a chance", which I believe is what Johnny is referring to. Gobaseline was making an analogy that he has about the same chance of winning lottery as WMU had of winning the Cotton Bowl. Thus the responses referencing the reality that WMU did have a quite decent chance of winning, and was in the game right up to the end (even if it is also true that Wisconsin was clearly the better team that day).

And I stand by that. I watched the game. I rooted for WMU. Sure, I hoped but the reality was WMU was overmatched. Take away the NFL talent of Corey Davis and that 2nd score everyone seems to hang their hat on doesn't happen. Yet I'm told to believe his absence had little bearing on the imbalance of last years offensive production and therefore putting the D on the field far longer and forced WMU to run more often than ideal.

This is possibly the dumbest post of the year, surprisingly, from a poster who normally has some of the finest posts.

You can't "Take away the NFL talent of Corey Davis," any more than you can take away the career, break-out, day of Wisconsin's TE. How many clutch, and difficult, 3rd down catches did that kid make? It would be easy to make a similarly stupid argument that without him, Wisky loses. But he was there, and so was Davis. They were both intregal parts of their teams. As a result, Wisky narrowly won a hard faught game.

As far as how Davis' departure impacted the 2017 Broncos? WTF?! Nice attempt to change the subject...

Cheers!

And Go Broncos!
