re: Stats on Wisconsin loading the box vs Fournette

- Carries: 23
- Avg UW defenders in box: 8.08
- Carries w/8 or more in box: 19
Everyone thinks this stat is so atrocious but it is completely overblown. If we're lining up with 2 or fewer WRs, it dictates that we Wisconsin will go big with their defense too. The only way you get guys out of the box is to pull offensive bodies out of the box too. You want to run against 6-7 man fronts, then you've got to go 4-wide and run out of the spread.
I guess the point is that the amount of people in the box isn't an issue on its own if you've got enough offensive players in the box to block them. People freak out about 8 in the box, but the concern should really only be about a front that has more defenders than we have blockers.

Ummmmm exactly. Get the defenders farther away from the line and LF before the play starts. More room to operate
ETA: And you are also more likely running against more DBs than LBs when you spread them out.

Traffic matters too. Haven't you ever heard of the concept of getting your playmakers in space?

Slackster, I've been pointing this out for years. It will not be understood by most on here. They think the spread magically gets guys out of the box at no cost.

They only allow us 11. For us, that's not nearly enough to block eight.
