The Cal Poly offense will be unlike anything the University of Wisconsin football team has seen this season.

This YouTube clip will give you some idea of how explosive the Mustangs' triple-option attack that features the use of two slotbacks and two wide receivers can be.

The numbers are staggering. Cal Poly leads all Football Championship Subdivision teams in scoring offense and total offense and is third in rushing offense. The Mustangs average more than 300 yards per game on the ground and also have a 1,000-yard receiver, senior Ramses Barden, who has caught a touchdown pass in 18 consecutive games, an FCS record.

And senior QB Jonathan Dally has thrown 20 touchdowns with just one interception. He also has eight rushing TDs.

It'll be interesting to see how UW's defense does with just a week to prepare against this unique offense.

I recently moved from the area and now live near Cal Poly -fantastic town, campus and weather.

Attended two Cal Poly games this year. Their defense is pretty poor but their offense can score points on anyone. Best for WI to run the ball all day on time consuming drives and keep the ball away from the CP offense.

Don't take the Mustangs lightly. You have been warned. Go Mustangs.

You actually sound afraid. And maybe you should be. If Wisconsin gives up turnovers in this game it could get ugly.

Better move this game to the 29th. The team will need the extra preparation time. this is not fair to schedule a school with a goofy offense.
