Rewatched the Wisc-USC game

I rewatched the game on youtube and came away with a few thoughts. Looking at Wisconsin's offense, they do a good job utilizing the TE's. Divinity and company need to be ready. I wasn't impressed at all with Clement, but he was injured most of the season. He only had a few bursts, but nothing to scare you. I'm sure he will want to prove last year was a fluke. USC's nose tackles penetrated all game and blew up many running plays. Valentine and Godchaux finna eat. Wisconsin's pass blocking was solid, but they are susceptible to speed rushers on the edge and Key should exploit that.

Wisconsin's strength is on defense and they are well coached. I was impressed with their LB play and how Aranda disguised delay blitzes. Cichy had three consecutive sacks. Two were due to OL doing a piss poor job picking up the blitz, but the third was all hustle. Their corners are solid, but were consistently beat on long routes downfield. We should exploit that, but I hope we don't just settle for long pass plays like last season. If the LSU Oline can pick up the LB blitzes, Harris should be able to have a nice passing day. Their tackles weren't getting a lot of push up front, but they control their gaps well and were hard to run inside. Also Wisconsin's D doesn't miss many tackles. This will be a good test early for our offense, but I like our chances.

TLDR Wisconsin offense is average, solid defense. LSU should fare well!
