To combat this, while still running the ball, wide receivers can use their speed to stretch defenses horizontally. Opponents traditionally have condensed their defenses when facing Wisconsin in order to attempt to mitigate the rushing attack. In order to alleviate stress from quarterback Joel Stave, the Badgers have used the jet or fly sweep, a play they started running during Chryst's previous tenure in Madison and continued through the Matt Canada and Andy Ludwig eras (most notably seen with Melvin Gordon). A team known for that hulking offensive line, creating massive holes for big, thunderous running backs, has hardly done so. Due to this, Chryst has been forced to get creative. To say that the Badgers have fought some adversity on the field this season would be an understatement. Offense review: Houston, Erickson, lead UW to win 3 things we learned from UW's 24-13 win On top of that, Wisconsin's renowned offensive line is as weak as it's been in a decade after losing three starters from a year ago along with injuries preventing a consistent, cohesive starting lineup. Backup Taiwan Deal has also been dinged up, so a former walk-on in junior Dare Ogunbowale and a true freshman moved from inside linebacker, Alec Ingold, have carried the rock for the Badgers. Leading up to the season opener against Alabama, he had to prepare with a top running back who wasn't completely healthy.
#JET SWEEP FORMATION PATCH#
Chryst had a short time to patch up the rest of the recruiting class, retaining whom he could and getting some of his own players to come to UW. He's replacing the least "Wisconsin" coach in the past 25 years after Gary Andersen bolted to Corvallis, Ore., of all places. Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst's first season in Madison has been anything but normal.
