Give credit to badger's defensive coaches and players. They did a great job for the most part. They didn't try to match our size and strength, just schemed us to death. Many total whiffs.

Wisconsin used a high risk/high reward scheme against LSU. It worked well when LSU was lined up in formations with very predictable play calls, which was the case when LSU lined up with TE and FB. When LSU went to formations with less predictable play calls the risks stopped paying off.

Could LSU have adjusted faster? Possibly, but since it was the first game of the season I think they were content to wait until half time to make adjustments.

I think this is on the money. They played MUCH differently than we are used to. LSU sees the 3-4 with Bama, but they have bigger, more physical LBs. Wisconsin used speed and confusion, and it worked perfectly when we were just trying overpower them. They did an solid job of filling gaps and maintaining their assignments. And their MLB was a tackling fool. He was everywhere up front.

The bottom line is, I'm sure the guys on the OL will learn from Sat. But thankfully, most of the SEC defences we will face won't match up the same way. They will be more of a physical strength vs strength matchup. Although, some may watch that game tape and add wrinkles based on the difficulty our guys had in reading all that pre-snap motion.
