Wisconsin Defense Leaves Few Places For This Ball To Go

Sometimes when we see a sack, turnover or just nowhere to go with the ball vs a defense we only see the ball. When the real story has many moving parts that all combine to create a big play on defense. The Wisconsin defense gives us a great example today.

This second down defense from this past season that Wisconsin used vs Michigan State is a good example. Obviously the staff had done their homework because this Wisconsin defense looked like it was designed specifically for this play.

This Wisconsin defense provides a big body in the throwing lane.

The middle linebacker is a hole player looking to pick up any crosser.

The weak side corner does an excellent job of turning his man (#4) over to the hole player.

After #17 does this he drops in the intermediate hole to rob the basic cross.
