Using the same opponent you cited in your post, Wisconsin ran the ball for 218 yards (4.8 yards per carry) against Iowa in 2013 and LSU ran for 220 yards (4.3 yards per carry) against that same defense.


I'm not sure how much Iowa respected your passing game, but the Hawkeyes had eight men in the box the whole game vs LSU. We had our worst passing performance of the season in that bowl.

Iowa also mainly played eight in the box.

Joel Stave has a couple pretty bad tendencies: (1) staring down his receiver and (2) holding onto the ball too long. He was a scapegoat all season for Wisconsin fans due to his erratic play.

I don't have an opinion as to who starts the season for Wisconsin. In a game of this magnitude right off the bat, I would assume that Andersen gives Stave the nod because of his 19 starts. Stave's skill-set is not what Andersen prefers, though.
