Landisch, Erickson cycle in as UW stars By Jim Dayton The Daily Cardinal
After losing wide receiver Jared Abbrederis and linebacker Chris Borland to the NFL last spring, Wisconsin not only lost two star players but also its biggest leaders on both sides of the ball. Abbrederis was one of the most prolific receivers in school history, ranking first in career receptions and second in receiving yards and touchdowns. Borland ranks in Wisconsin’s top 10 in a number of defensive categories, including tackles, tackles for loss, sacks and fumble recoveries. His 15 forced fumbles are the second-most in FBS history. Replacing both of these players in the same offseason is a tall task, and it’s unrealistic to expect one person alone to fill the void. However, amid the Badgers’ slow start, the play of redshirt sophomore wide receiver Alex Erickson and senior linebacker Derek Landisch has been encouraging as Wisconsin undergoes a transition period on offense and defense.
Landisch has been one of the defense’s biggest playmakers this season. He leads the team in sacks and tackles for loss. “I would attribute [my success] to the guys I play around with. The defensive line, the secondary, it’s great playing with those guys,” Landisch said. “Being in Coach [Dave] Aranda’s scheme, it’s unbelievable the stuff that he can come up with from a game-to-game basis.” Meanwhile, Erickson has emerged as the primary weapon in Wisconsin’s passing game. He’s the only wide receiver with more than five catches on the season. “[Being a go-to guy] is what I was striving for the whole time,” Erickson said. “It’s hard to see sometimes when you’re first starting out. It’s hard to see the big picture.” Statistics paint a similar picture between the two receivers. In his first year as a starter, Erickson has totaled 25 receptions for 301 yards and a touchdown in five games. When Abbrederis broke into the starting lineup in 2011, also as a
redshirt sophomore, he posted similar numbers in his first five games—20 receptions for 328 yards and two touchdowns. The same can be said of Borland and Landisch. This year, Landisch has 26 tackles, six tackles for loss, three sacks and an interception. In 2011, his first year as a full-time starter, Borland had 43 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and an interception. However, Borland was a redshirt sophomore back then, whereas Landisch is a senior. Though Landisch said he hesitates to compare himself to Borland, the influence of the former linebacker is undeniable. Borland’s prowess as a defender inspired Landisch to emulate him. Borland, now with the San Francisco 49ers, praised Landisch’s maturity and work ethic in a phone interview. “He’s intact. He’s got the makeup of a linebacker to get after the ball carrier,” Borland said. “Our mentalities are similar.” Defensive coordinator Dave Aranda said Borland provided the blueprint for future Wisconsin linebackers.
“We’re trying to pattern our recruiting at linebacker off of that,” Aranda said. “Take a guy who’s around 6-foot tall, 230, 235 pounds, tough, smart, who can blitz, who can cover, who can do it all, to be a very flexible player. I think Chris was definitely that way and Derek has a lot of traits that way.” There are similarities between Abbrederis and Erickson as well. They’re both Wisconsin natives and former high school quarterbacks who successfully walked on for the Badgers. “He’s been a great mentor to me as a wide receiver and a friend,” Erickson said of Abbrederis. “He’s been great with technique and work ethic and just the way he carries himself, you can learn a lot from him.” Now with the Green Bay Packers, Abbrederis credited Erickson’s hot start to the season to his work ethic and preparation off the field. “He’s a smart player. Obviously being a quarterback, he understands concepts, understands defenses, being able to convert routes and
being able to set up defenders,” Abbrederis said, over the phone. “Understanding what they’re trying to do on defense, you can really take advantage of that if you really understand.” However, wide receivers coach Chris Beatty was quick to point out that expecting Erickson to become Abbrederis was unrealistic while pointing out the differences in their playing styles. “Jared is a more shifty, routerunning receiver where Alex is just technically, fundamentally sound. He’s not flashy in any way,” Beatty said. “A lot of people say Jared’s not flashy, but as a receiver and watching him run routes and having every scout come in and say he runs the best routes in the country, I’d say that’s flashy.” It’s hard to call Erickson the long-term answer to Abbrederis or Landisch the short-term equal to Borland, especially after a small, five-game sample size. But the similarities are there, and in a season of early disappointment, it’s reassuring to focus on such a narrative.
“…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”

Five things to watch By Matt Tragesser the daily cardinal
1
Rushing attack against vulnerable defense
After accumulating a career high 259 rushing yards from Saturday’s loss to Northwestern, Heisman candidate Melvin Gordon will look to continue to shred yet another defense in the Big Ten. Illinois comes into Saturday’s
game on a two game losing streak and with a vulnerable defense. Currently having a rush defense ranked 119 out of 128 FBS teams, and allowing a whopping 249.5 yards per game with a favorable 4.77 yards per carry, Gordon and company should have little problems running the ball. Corey Clement could have a nice bounce back game. He only went for 22 yards on six carries in Saturday’s loss to Northwestern,
but the sophomore has proven in previous games this season that he can be a nice complement to Gordon, particularly in the win against Bowling Green where he amassed 111 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
2
Shaky quarterback situation
Quarterback play against Northwestern became a
major issue for the Badgers in Saturday’s loss to Northwestern. Starting quarterback Tanner McEvoy struggled yet once again in the opening half of the game. starting the game with 4-of-10 for 24 passing yards and an interception. Because of the slow start, recently activated quarterback Joel Stave was put into the game, only to further complicate and worsen the quarterback situation. The redshirt junior finished the game 8-of-19 passing for 119 yards and 3 interceptions. Throughout the game, Stave did not look ready to face a stingy, Big Ten defense. Most of his throws were erratic and he threw two interceptions that essentially sealed the game for Northwestern. Andersen said Monday both McEvoy and Stave will see playing time in Camp Randall. However, it will be interesting to see if the passing game can improve and complement UW’s running game.
3
Can defense improve as a unit?
Coming into Saturday’s game against Northwestern, the Badgers boasted one of the top defenses in the entire country. Ranked No. 22 in the FBS in terms of rush defense and only allowing 3.8 yards per carry, it was expected that Wisconsin would contain Northwestern running back Justin Jackson. This proved to not be the case. The freshman running back collected 162 rushing yards on 33 carries and simply looked like a veteran college running back as he showcased speed and excellent awareness throughout the game. Illinois comes into Madison this weekend with an atrocious rushing game ranking 115 out of 125 FBS teams in total rushing yards. If the Badgers cannot contain Illinois’ rushing attack this weekend, the panic button will need to be pressed.
4
Avoiding slow starts
So far this season, the Badgers have struggled to start off games fast and haven’t been putting up big numbers on the scoreboard in the first and second quarters. This week’s loss to Northwestern proved this as the Badgers were shut out 10-0 in the first half. This slow-start trend has been seen throughout the season, particularly in the first quarter. The Badgers have only produced 29 points in the first quarter in its first five games while allowing 23 points to opponents. In the other three quarters, UW has outscored opponents 141 to 55. The Badgers must learn to correct these slow starts and must make an early statement against Illinois offensively and defensively in order to win and avoid a close game.
5
Injury to star Illinois quarterback
Illinois quarterback Wes Lunt has been a bright spot for the Fighting Illini. The emerging star has tossed 13 touchdowns and only three interceptions through six games. Lunt is currently second in the Big Ten in passing with 1,569 yards this season. However, after Sunday’s home loss to Purdue, it was confirmed that Lunt broke his leg and is expected to be out four to six weeks. Erratic backup Reilly O’Toole will take his place in Saturday’s contest against the Badgers. The senior is notorious for his inaccuracy, completing only 52.6 percent of his passes this season as well as throwing more interceptions than touchdowns in his four-year career at Illinois. With a nonexistent run game, and now an inadequate quarterback situation, the Fighting Illini should be held in check throughout the game.

By Jake Powers the daily cardinal
After beginning its season 2-0, Illinois has lost three of its last four games and will visit Madison Oct. 11 amidst an absolute free fall. The Fighting Illini (0-2 Big Ten, 3-3 overall) topped Youngstown State 28-17 and Western Kentucky 42-34 to get off to a promising start to its 2014 season, but then ran into a wall at Washington Sept. 13. The Huskies jumped out to a 38-12 lead at halftime and easily cruised to a 44-19 win over Illinois. The Illini were able to skirt by with its porous defense in its first two games, but Washington pounded out 464 yards of total offense, including 245 yards rushing against a weak Illinois front seven. The Illini bounced back the following week, outlasting Texas State 42-35, but they were then annihilated by Nebraska Sept. 27. Without star quarterback Wes Lunt, who was a late scratch with a knee injury, Illinois managed just two touchdowns against the Cornhuskers and were held scoreless in the second half. Nebraska was able to pull away by scoring 24 points

Buckeyes threaten Spartans for top spot in the conference 1
2
ByJack Baer the daily cardinal
1. No. 8 Michigan State (nine first-place votes), 139 points
The Spartans did their work to remain top dog of the conference, beating Nebraska in a clash of division favorites. We were given another reminder that Michigan State is really, really good at defense, this time as they held Heisman candidate Ameer Abdullah to 1.9 yards per rush. With the hierarchy of the Big Ten West having basically eaten itself, the Spartans are also tops in the better division of the conference.
2. No. 15 Ohio State (one), 129 points
Ohio State’s road dismantling of Maryland was enough to convince one person they could be the best team in the Big Ten, ending Michigan State’s proud unanimous No. 1 streak at one week. Redshirt freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett keeps getting better throwing the ball, this time averaging 11.6 yards per passing attempt and torching a not-awful Terrapin pass defense for four touchdowns.
3. No. 21 Nebraska, 122 points
It was a rough Saturday for Ameer Abdullah, who is probably done at this point as a real Heisman contender. With Wisconsin’s loss to Nebraska, the West really seems like the Huskers’ to lose with all other teams looking significantly flawed. Junior defensive end Randy Gregory continuing to look like a potential Top 15 pick helps too. There is a huge gap after this conference’s top three teams.
4. Wisconsin, 91 points Passing Is Important: The 2014 Wisconsin Story would be
one depressing and very accurate story. You can’t win if you can only do one thing on offense (albeit very well), so at this point, it looks like the Badgers are going to be in for some more losses where they are most definitely the more talented team, but will watch as the red zone offense unforgivingly stalls. “Received 259 rushing
yards from Melvin Gordon and somehow lost” should go on offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig’s future tombstone.
T5. Northwestern, 87 points
A good way to bounce back from a stretch of games that could be politely described as “gratuitous humiliation” is to beat Penn State and Wisconsin back-toback. It’s still hard to say if the Wildcats are for real, but cautiously optimistic is still a pretty positive outlook in the Big Ten, a pretty bad conference.
T5. Rutgers, 87 points
Best described as opponent No. 3 of Michigan’s total free fall, the Scarlet Knights are in for what Minnesota received last week: skepticism that beating Michigan is worth any kind of significance. As of now, Rutgers looks like the best team in the bottom half of the East and offensive coordinator and former Maryland head coach Ralph Friedgen is one of the offseason’s best hires.
7. Iowa, 81 points
The Hawkeyes’ schedule is beginning to look even more advantageous than Wisconsin’s, but playing in the Big Ten West will do that. Their toughest opponent between now and a Nov. 22 home date against Wisconsin is Northwestern, which could make them a nifty dark horse candidate in the West. They also get Wisconsin the week after the Badgers play Nebraska, so that should be a huge trap game.
8. Penn State, 80 points
The next stage on the “How low can Michigan go” tour, the Nittany Lions are coming off a bye week after a home loss to Northwestern that suddenly looks a lot more excusable. Sophomore quarterback and preseason Davey O’Brien Award watch lister Christian Hackenberg has been a disappointment, but an extra week of prep against a Wolverines team in the morale equivalent of the fetal position should help his stats.
3
4
9. Minnesota, 76 points
The Gophers are coming off a bye week after a road win over Michigan that suddenly looks a lot less impressive. They remain in the Wisconsin zone of being a hypothetically great team if college football would just ban the forward pass already. Unfortunately, that realm doesn’t exist and a little more than 100 passing yards per game just isn’t going to cut it. After Minnesota, there’s a sizable drop-off in conference rankings that ends at a Terrapins team that got blown out by a possibly great Ohio State team. Starting quarterback C.J. Brown was a game-time decision with a wrist injury against the Buckeyes and was pulled after a pretty bad half, averaging 3.9 yards per passing attempt.
11. Indiana, 43 points
Loss to Bowling Green, win at Missouri, loss to Maryland, win over North Texas, this season has so far been head coach Kevin Wilson’s wild ride. The Hoosiers will have their explosive offense further tested with back-to-back matchups against a strong Iowa defense and lock-down Michigan State defense.
12. Purdue, 24 points
A win over new conference dunce Illinois pulls the Boilermakers out of the bottom spot of the Big Ten. However, they play Michigan State next, so we might see some revertive carnage.
13. Michigan, 22 points
All you need to know about how bad this season could get for the winningest program in college football history is that athletic director Dave Brandon will not fire head coach Brady Hoke until the end of the season, when Brandon himself is probably fired.

Top games in the aftermath of a historic weekend By Lorin Cox The Daily Cardinal
As the college football season nears the halfway mark, the contenders are beginning to separate themselves from the pretenders. The top teams are done with the easy portion of their schedules and the bigtime matchups will come weekin and week-out. Heisman candidates will go head to head, and inevitably, some Top 10 teams will face defeat. Here are this week’s biggest games across the nation.
No. 2 Auburn at No. 3 (tied) Mississippi St.
Two of the best teams in the best division in the best conference in college football face off in a game that should severely cripple the loser’s playoff chances. Both teams are undefeated, each with a pair of big wins over Top 20 teams. Auburn’s offense wears down opponents with a Top 25 rushing attack and a passing game that’s best described as good enough. The team averages 42 points a game despite ranking outside the top 75 in passing yards and having a quarterback, senior Nick Marshall, with only a 56.2 completion percentage for the season. Defensively, both Auburn and Mississippi State have Top 20 defenses that rank in the Top 10 in stopping the run. The Bulldogs are quite a bit worse against the pass. Similarly, MSU’s rushing offense ranks in the Top 25, although junior quarterback Dak Prescott is emerging as a dark-

Oregon suffered another loss to Arizona as a member of the Top 5, significantly endangering their shot at another Rose Bowl. horse Heisman candidate. He’s one of the top rushing quarterbacks in the nation, and has over 1,200 passing yards and 13 touchdowns to boot. Auburn has to find a way to slow him down if they want to avoid the upset.
No. 12 Oregon at No. 18 UCLA
Both Oregon and UCLA are coming off upset losses to unranked opponents that have put their respective playoff hopes in doubt. Each team’s
quarterback is still in the Heisman race, though. It’s impossible to talk about Oregon without mentioning their prolific offense that ranks among the best in the nation in a number of categories. Redshirt junior quarterback Marcus Mariota is one of the most dynamic athletes in college football, and he truly is a master of their spread offense. Defensively, the Ducks are mediocre at best, but up until last week, the team has been able

to overwhelm opponents with a barrage of scoring. UCLA too has been carried by redshirt junior quarterback Brett Hundley. He has completed over 72 percent of his passes for over 1,300 yards in some nearly flawless performances. Like Oregon, the Bruins’ defense is serviceable but not great. Their first three wins all came by margins of eight or less, and Hundley could only do so much as they allowed Utah 30 points in a comeback win. Their defense will have to step up its game to give their offense a chance to outscore the Ducks.
No. 3 (tied) Ole Miss at No. 14 Texas A&M
The other Top 15 SEC matchup of the weekend features the nation’s second highest scoring offense, Texas A&M, against a defense that allows the second fewest points in the nation, Ole Miss. The Aggies’ sophomore quarterback Kenny Hill is among the top five quarterbacks in the nation in passing yards and touchdowns, making him the biggest reason why the team averages over 47 points per game. Much like a number of other top teams, though, their defense is not up to par. They did only allow a combined 19 points in three games against Lamar, Rice, and SMU, but when they played more difficult opponents, they allowed nearly 35 points a game, including 48 last week in their loss to Mississippi State. Ole Miss, on the other hand, allows opponents only 10.2 points per game, while scoring an average of 35.8. Specifically, their pass defense ranks in the Top 10, while their run stopping isn’t too far behind. The Rebels also rely on their star quarterback, senior Bo Wallace, to carry the team. He has over 1,500 passing yards at a nearly 69 percent completion rate. This game could turn into more of a shootout than Mississippi is used to, and it is hard to give either team the edge.
No. 9 TCU at No. 5 Baylor
TCU is once again quietly having a solid season. They proved they were the real deal last week, upsetting then-No. 4 Oklahoma, and now they have the chance to really cement themselves as the team to beat in the Big 12 against Baylor. The Horned Frogs don’t have quite the firepower that the Bears do, but their junior quarterback Trevone Boykin has been tough for opponents to slow down. In addition to his 1,100-plus yards, he is also the team’s leading rusher, averaging over five yards per carry. Their defense has also been great. They rank in the Top 25 in almost every key stat, and they’re in the Top 10 in quite a few. Baylor’s offense will be unlike anything TCU has faced. They average an FBS-best 51 points per game with an equally impressive 400 passing yards per game. The Bears haven’t faced a ranked opponent yet, but it’s tough to see even TCU’s defense keeping their offense down.
USC at No. 10 Arizona
USC’s season certainly isn’t going the way they hoped it would. The Trojans suffered their second loss of the season last week on a last-second touchdown scored by Arizona State. This week, they head to Arizona to take on the team that knocked off No. 2 Oregon last week. Arizona’s two freshmen, quarterback Anu Solomon and running back Nick Wilson are taking the country by storm, while their defense has been just good enough for them to win. Since their first game, their average margin of victory has been just over five points per game, but they found a way to remain 5-0. USC redshirt junior quarterback Cody Kessler hasn’t had the same level of support. His performances have been great, but his teams can’t seem to find a way to put it all together. They need to figure it out quickly if they want to salvage what’s left of their season.
