Stack the box?

Well I really hope we don't shift our 3 linebackers all to the strong side like we did in 2012 (with success in first game, got destroyed doing this in CCG).

I actually wouldn't mind running a "Gap 8" today but that is not seen in CFB anymore. To elaborate. I wouldn't mind seeing 3 DT's in there with Valentine or Collins on the nose. Walk up Gerry as a "monster" or LB.

Doubt that's in the game plan though.

Play a 5-2. Bring in Williams and have Anderson and Roach as LBs

I think we learned that lesson about 20 years ago.

I don't anticipate any drastic changes. Midway through the 2nd quarter it will be clear Pelini didn't watch the Wisconsin-Northwestern film.

You're aware that MG3 set a career high rushing mark in the NW game, no? I guess you could follow NW's scheme and hope that UW again throws three picks in the absolute worst possible places, but that seems like a poor strategy.

I guess I did know that, I just forgot it was that game. However, I don't think Pelini is kidding when he says he worries more about "taking care of us" than gameplanning for opponents. It shows a lot of the time. I like what our defense has been doing, though, so I'm glad we get to see them against a legit running game. We'll find out a lot about this defense today.

Do you think we win if Defense can keep Wisconsin to 27 points or less? I'm just wondering what the magic number would be

I think around 23/24 is needed.
