Wisconsin ended the regular season going 1st and Goal at the 5 to 4th and Goal from the 30 that resulted in an overthrow out of bounds! Anything will be better than that

Seriously, though, someone on this board did post that UNC had 19 more red zone TDs than Wisconsin this season. The two red zone efficiencies weren't far off from one another and, of course, Wisconsin's issue under the old staff was putting up points... Think most Wisconsin fans would sacrifice some efficiency in the red zone for more scoring opportunities.

In any case, Longo offenses in 2020-21 and 2021-22 ranked No. 19 (Tied) and No. 12 in red zone scoring percentage with Javonte Williams, Michael Carter and Ty Chandler. He'll have another NFL RB at Wisconsin, and a big one at that, so I don't think running the ball will be totally lost on him.

Don't worry, Longo does run the ball, he just does it very differently than traditional Wisconsin offense.

I think it's an upgrade, but I worry that the ceiling is capped by the simplicity of the offense.
