READ

The coach's read

SHELL AIgrounded in the numbers above
KEY 01
Load the box and defend the run first on early downs. Wisconsin runs the ball 60.5% on first down, and their first-down PPA of -0.12 tells us that approach is actually losing them yardage on average. Make them earn it up front, keep gap integrity, and force them into obvious passing situations where they are less comfortable.
KEY 02
On third and short, do not soften up expecting a play-action or screen. They run the football 76.3% of the time on third and short. Bring the right personnel, fit your gaps, and tackle at or behind the sticks. Giving up a free conversion in the phone booth kills drives we otherwise have won.
KEY 03
When we build a lead, expect Wisconsin to stay committed to the run. At 67.4% run rate with a 7-plus point lead, they will not panic and throw. Stay disciplined in your run fits late in the game, resist the temptation to go light in coverage, and keep the clock working in our favor by stopping the ball carrier and getting off the field.
Bottom lineWisconsin is a below-average offense by PPA standards at 0.06 per play with a 38.6% success rate, meaning they are not consistently moving the chains. If we win first down and get them to third and long, where they convert only 34.2% of the time, we win this game.
