Les, after Gary leaves, go ahead & make the call to Paul Chryst

And tell him he can bring Bob Bostad with him

His offensive philosophy meshes well with Les' and he has been successful everywhere he has been



In 2004, (the year before he arrived), Wisconsin ranked:

52nd in rushing
103rd in passing
93rd in total offense
96th in Scoring



In 2005, in his first season, Wisconsin improved to:

37th in rushing
50th in passing
45th in total offense
14th in Scoring


Since, then Wisconsin has gotten better each year running the ball and has been pretty consistent with their production.


2006:

37th in rushing
50th in passing
35th in total offense
26th in Scoring


2007:

21st in rushing
72nd in passing
46th in total offense
49th in Scoring


2008:

14th in rushing
84th in passing
37th in total offense
47th in Scoring


2009:

15th in rushing
65th in passing
30th in total offense
25th in Scoring


2010:

12th in rushing
75th in passing
21st in total offense
5th in Scoring




And his offenses eat up the clock, which is one way to battle all those spread offenses. It keeps them off the field, plus it rests your defense by also keeping them off the field


Here is where Wisconsin ranked in Time of Possession:

2005: 20th
2006: 3rd
2007: 1st
2008: 37th
2009: 1st
2010: 6th
