READ

The coach's read

SHELL AIgrounded in the numbers above
KEY 01
Load the box on first down. Wisconsin runs the ball 60.5% of the time on first down, and their 1st-down PPA of -0.12 means they are already losing the down when they do it. Force them into obvious passing situations early by stopping the run at the line of scrimmage and making them earn everything on 2nd and 3rd.
KEY 02
On 3rd and short, do not soften up. They run 76.3% of the time on 3rd and short, so treat it like a goal-line call. Bring an extra box defender, hold your edge, and make them prove they can pick up the first with a power run against a loaded front rather than giving them an easy conversion.
KEY 03
In the red zone, stay disciplined against the run. Wisconsin goes 66.7% run inside the red zone, so the pass is the exception, not the rule. Keep your linebackers downhill, protect your contain, and do not let safeties drift early. They are not going to beat you throwing it in there if you handle your responsibilities.
Bottom lineWisconsin is a below-average offense by every efficiency metric, converting only 34.2% on third down and generating a PPA of just 0.06 per play. Win the line of scrimmage on early downs and force them off schedule, and this offense will stall on its own.
