In the last two meetings. Different staffs on both ends but what does Chryst do? Does he try to exploit Nebraskas pass defense knowing full well Wisconsin pounded it down Nebraskas throat over and over...and over again the past few years? Will we hold them under 500 yards rushing today if Chryst commits to the run?
Wiscy avg 560 yards on the ground

- Start date
Wi will run the ball because that is what they do and who they are - I think they will have more success doing so than most NU fans think - No hopefully it will not be 500 yards but I can certainly see 300 yards rushing for them
Wisconsin throws the ball when they can't run it. They put up 39 passes against Alabama earlier this year and also over 38 passes against Iowa. Stave has a 63.3 completion percentage for the year. Against Alabama he completed over 66% of his passes.
Didn't see one jet swee vs Iowa. Chryst has to be smart enough to utilize that play today? True, Pelini(defensive genius)crapped his pants when he saw that play...new staff at NU but much of the same players. I would assume Wiscy will see if we learned anything from giving up near 600 yards on the ground.
Wel if they do run for 300 on us that would nearly cut last years total in half. And that it what I would cal progress.
Assuming a pretty even game, I think they will be close to 50/50 run/pass. If you look at the Bama and IA games, they threw more than they ran. If they only throw 20 times, it will be because the running game is much more effective than against those teams and that they have the game well in hand.
Well it's simple...Chryst and Wiscy lose today as our season turnaround begins. I believe with DO and JS our running game really gets going and DPE makes some plays today. Either way, win or lose, I can't wait to see our guys play and see how the rest of the season plays out.
Yup, unfortunately I think they are going to be able to run the ball, and pass the ball. It doesn't help that we are depleted at DLine and LB, but they are going to get some yards today. I'll say in the 250 range on the ground.
