READ

The coach's read

SHELL AIgrounded in the numbers above
KEY 01
Stack the box and win 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 value on those snaps. Force them into obvious passing situations early by stopping the run at the line of scrimmage on first down and making second down predictable.
KEY 02
Third and short is a run 76.3% of the time. There is no guesswork here. When Wisconsin faces third and short, load the box, trust your run fits, and make them earn every conversion. Their overall 3rd-down conversion rate of 34.2% tells you this offense is already struggling to extend drives, so do not give up a soft conversion by playing pass on a short-yardage run down.
KEY 03
In the red zone, commit to stopping the run first. Wisconsin runs 66.7% of the time inside the 20. With an overall explosive rate of only 8.7% and a PPA per play of just 0.06, this offense does not beat you with one big play in tight spaces. Keep your run defenders disciplined, hold your assignments inside the 10, and force Wisconsin to beat you through the air in a situation they actively avoid.
Bottom lineWisconsin is a run-first team that is not generating much value per play and converts only about one in three third downs. Stop the run on schedule, especially on first down and in the red zone, and let their own offensive limitations eliminate drives.
