<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The Badgers fell 41 - 13 to Notre Dame this weekend, showing an impressive first half and a depressive second half. The Badgers looked very physical in the first half, which is exactly what Oates said they needed to do, but couldn&rsquo;t sustain. This weekend should be a better story as they return to Camp Randall to take on Western Illinois.&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Sticking with college football, the MAC wants Western Michigan to be named the winner in their game against Michigan after officials &ldquo;found&rdquo; an extra second on the clock that let Michigan win the game. Appealing the results of the game is a bad idea, Lucas and Oates think. Yes, Western Michigan outplayed Michigan and the Big 10 refs had Michigan&rsquo;s back. But what are they really going to do, take the game into a courtroom?&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The Packers are opening their season this Sunday in Minneapolis as they take on Kyler Murray and the Vikings. Oates predicts Matthew Golden will be a big playmaker this week, and will stay a big playmaker the rest of the season. Looking at the season ahead, Oate&rsquo;s biggest concern still sits at the line of scrimmage. If they can beef that up and get a bit more physical this year, they may have a chance to go further than just one game in the playoffs.&nbsp;</p>
