Behind the Numbers
Behind DSA (Skip if familiar with DSA)
Differential Statistical Analysis (DSA) is a way of looking behind the numbers by taking the quality of the opposition into consideration in an objective, albeit limited way. By first eliminating every game against FCS (formerly known as Division I-AA) competition and then comparing every FBS team's output to the average output allowed (or gained) by their opposition, a more complete picture is obtained of each team's performance.
For offense, the yardage gained and points scored are compared to the yards and points allowed, on average, by the opponents' defenses. For example, last year Ohio State scored 7 points for every 6 points that their opponents allowed, on average. Their Differential Scoring Offense (DSO) was thus: 7/6 = 1.167. Defense works pretty much the same way; a team's average points or yards allowed is divided by the points or yards that their opponents gained when they played everyone else. Last year, Ohio State allowed only 46.5% as many points as their opponents scored, on average, against everyone else they played. So OSU's Differential Scoring Defense (DSD) was 0.465.
You Get What You Play For
Sometimes the numbers tell you exactly what your eyes tell you, like when the numbers said the Buckeyes would paste Marshall and that's exactly what happened. Sometimes the numbers are deceiving, but a thorough look behind them reassures your football instincts, like when DSA showed that the Buckeyes need not fear the Quack attack. Then there are the times when you and everyone else are expecting a tough game from a quality opponent, and the numbers blind-side you. Welcome to Wisconsin Week, 2010.
If the message board is any indication, Buckeye fans have been more concerned about this game than about any other this season. Vegas too believes the Buckeyes are bound to be pushed to the limit by the Badgers. They have the Buckeyes as 4.5 to 6 point favorites.
Certainly much of this has to do with the venue. Both the Ohio State faithful and the odds-makers are well aware that Madison has been unkind to the Scarlet and Gray for the past few decades. How much difference does Camp Randall make, do you think? Ten points? Fourteen? Even if you concede 3, 4 or even 5 times the usual home-field advantage; DSA has a surprise for you: Don't even worry about it.
Before we get there though, let's take a look at the traditional stats for both teams.
But then there is DSA. The tables below have a very different story to tell. First let's define the acronyms:
Wisconsin's traditional rushing offense is quite good, and traditional stats suggest that it is better than Ohio State's less conventional ground attack. DSA concedes that the Badgers have a good running game, producing 19.3% more yards on the ground than their opponents typically surrender (DRO of 1.193). But Ohio State's DRO is quite a bit better. While Ohio State fans would all love to see the Buckeye tailbacks produce the way the Badgers do, there is no reason to automatically concede the better rushing attack to the Badgers, and DSA proves it.
Defensively, the comparison isn't particularly close either way, though it should be observed that the Badgers are at least respectable defending the run. The Buckeyes are vastly superior, but the Badgers aren't horrible.
Passing
The TV analysts will observe that the Badgers rank 16th in the nation in passing efficiency and will tell you this means the Badgers are balanced. As one of them often says, "Not so fast my friends". Wisconsin's DPE-O of just 1.065 would have ranked #36 in the country last year. What's more, their starting quarterback's PE is essentially identical to the team number. Ohio State's starter, on the other hand, has a PE several points higher than the team (170.47), and his DPE-O (1.314) would have ranked #2 in the country last year.
Traditional stats say Ohio State is a little better at throwing the ball. DSA shows that the Buckeyes are much better than the Badgers.
Again, DSA throws the two teams into sharp relief on the defensive side of the ball. Wisconsin is actually below average when defending against the pass, while the Buckeyes are having a banner year with a banged up defensive backfield. The Badgers are allowing Passing Efficiency that is almost 8% better than their opponents manage on average (DPE-D of 1.079) in spite of the fact that they have been playing with the lead most of the year and they knew the pass was coming. The Buckeyes DPE-D of 0.738 is better than any Buckeye team of the Tressel era in spite of a rash of injuries in the defensive backfield.
Scoring
As with Passing Efficiency (offense), Wisconsin is ranked 16th in the country in Scoring Offense. DSA shows that the Scoring Offense ranking is even more misleading the the PE number.
Wisconsin's DSO of 0.989 shows the Badgers to actually be BELOW AVERAGE in scoring. The Buckeyes on the other hand sport a DSO that would have ranked #3 in the country last year; higher than any Jim Tressel team has ever achieved.
Defensively, DSA shows the Buckeyes to be a little below their recent lofty standards, but within striking distance of achieving a great year. The DSD of 0.541 if posted for a full season would be the Buckeyes' worst number since 2004, though it would have ranked 8th in the nation last year.
Wisconsin on the other hand, appears to be pretty good by traditional numbers, but shockingly average by DSA standards, holding teams to just 2.4% below their usual scoring output. Compare this to Ohio State holding teams to 45.9% below their usual point total.
Affected by early-season special-teams breakdowns, the DSD number for Ohio State is a disappointment at this point in the season. It is still 19 times better than Wisconsin's number.
Composites
As with the other numbers, DYC and DSC shows the Buckeyes to be a very good, bordering on great football team. Once the special teams struggles from earlier in the year fade in significance, Ohio State's DSA stats should rival those posted by the 2006 Buckeyes.
Wisconsin on the other hand, is revealed to be very average. With both DYC and DSC being just slightly better than one, it is clear that the Badgers will have to play out of their minds to have any chance of hanging with the superior Buckeyes on Saturday night.
Prediction
Those familiar with DSA may remember that it can be combined with traditional stats to produce predictions for the upcoming game. While these stats are far more accurate later in the season, it is not too early to get a general indication of what to expect.
The oddsmakers in Vegas, to say nothing of the boys in Madison, are in for a big surprise on Saturday night. After the Jump Around there will be a long line of Badger fans heading for the exits at Camp Randall, and a long line of Buckeye fans heading for the pay-out window at the sports books in the desert. Buckeyes keep on rolling.

These are the numbers they'll show on TV and in the newspaper. Superficially they seem to show that the Buckeyes are a little better on offense and moderately better on defense. With seemingly little difference between the quality of the teams, the less tangible effect of a rowdy, lubricated Camp Randall seems to be well within striking distance.Ohio_State_________217.33____248.50____165.67_____ 465.83___43.17

One Hundred
Lets take a walk down memory lane. In the wake of John Cooper's firing after an uninspired Outback Bowl loss to Ryan Brewster, excuse me, South Carolina, Buckeye fans were introduced to James Patrick Tressel. Some of us may have remembered him from his days on Earle Bruce's staff while some of us were aware of his D-IAA exploits at Youngstown State. But, most of us were not real sure that hiring a man who had no D-IA experience was such a good idea and many of us though Glen Mason seemed liked a good choice for the job. Well, it turns out that many of us were wrong, Andy Gieger was right, and Jim Tressel gets it done at the big schools just like he did at YSU.
Tressel's first team, a 7-5 squad, didn't really give much indication of what Ohio State would become under his watch. Remember 6-13 to UCLA? 17-20 to Wisconsin? It was the 2001 team which blew a big lead allowing Joe Paterno to win his 324th game, 27-29, passing Bear Bryant. But, taking a look in the rear view mirror, Tressel has amassed 3 BCS championship game appearances, 1 BCS National Title, 6 Big Ten Titles - the last 5 of which have been consecutive, and has appeared in 7 BCS bowl games (2001 Outback and 2004 Alamo being the only exceptions). Tressel has coached a Heisman Trophy winner in Troy Smith, Tressel has beaten Michigan 8 times in 9 tries. What more could fans ask?
When asked about the milestone, Coach gave credit to Ohio State, "This is a place that if they let you stay long enough, you should win 100." Well, coach, I think maybe you had a little to do with it as well. It seems rather fitting that your Buckeyes are number 1 in the nation this week.
Odd ball fact: Win number 100 came against Indiana State
Win number 100 at Ohio State came against Indiana.
Introducing Terrelle Pryor: Pocket Passer
Get used to it? In 2004 an exciting QB by the name of Troy Smith seemed to finally "put it together" against Purdue. The game was a loss, and lot of people recall Smith's next game that season - a beat down of Michigan - as his coming out party, but it was against Purdue that Smith's "light went on." Flash forward to 2009: an electric QB by the name of Terrelle Pryor had possibly his worst game as a collegian against Purdue. But, it was during this game, on an incomplete pass over the middle where Terrelle Pryor's "light went on." How? It was that pass where Terrelle finally stepped up in the pocket and delivered a ball. Against Indiana last week, the former runner made no effort to run at all. He was simply a drop back passer, and sure he had a bad wheel, but the man threw for a personal best 334. Pryor came to Ohio State to learn how to be a quarterback. That's exactly what he's done.
Short kicks
Can an onside kick be worse than what Texas Tech tried last week? Not only did the kick not go the required 10 yards, but three Red Raiders stood around the football as if it might magically begin rolling to the 40 instead of cutting their losses and downing it. Instead, the on-side kick was scooped up by Baylor and returned for a TD. I don't know, maybe Ohio State's special teams aren't that bad after all.
The Old Ball Coach
Thanks to Steve Spurrier for taking a moment out of his busy golfing schedule to design a game plan to beat Alabama. One had to wonder if anyone would ever exploit a defense which lost 9 of 11 starters and sure enough the Old Ball Coach got it done.
By the Book
Asked why he went for two when his Buckeyes were beating the living snot out of rival Michigan, Woody Hayes remarked, "Because they wouldn't let me go for three."
Asked why he went for two when his Badgers were up 25 against Minnesota Bret Bielema remarked, "We play for a big axe, it's a rivalry, and doggone it, I hate the Gophers." Wait a second. No he didn't. Instead Bielema explained that every coach carries around a card which has a list of scores where a team's best interest is served by going for two. Plus 25 falls under the latter category, I guess. Let's take a moment to contemplate the consequences.
First, if you're up 25 with about 6:00 to go in the fourth your card should say something like this: "Um, coach, you're up 25 with 5 to play. Just kick the friggin ball and get out of here." Second, why are you even looking at this card, Bret? You're up 25 with about 6 to play. This isn't blackjack, brother. It's not like you've been dealt an Ace-Seven and you need to figure out if you should take a hit or stay with 18 against a 6 while putting extra money at risk. The word is "discretion." Look into it.
More importantly is this. On one sideline this weekend in Madison you will have a man who has coached in 9 National Title games during his career. A man who coaches and a man who not only understands situations, but who sometimes looks like he's actually attempting to set up future situations intentionally. On the other, you have a guy who is reading an index card. Looking back, I wonder if Bret had a cheat sheet that said "when you're going into half against Penn State and kicking off, intentionally go offsides as many times as possible."
Back in the "good old days" Alvarez would meet your head coach at mid field prior to the game, hand him his 3 page play book and say "try and stop us." Now, Alvarez hands that play book and some index cards, I guess, to Bret and says "read and react."
It's time to defend that Number One ranking. Considering the personalities, safe money is on Ohio State. Go Bucks!

The Wisconsin Badgers are a team rich with traditions.
The team's nickname, 'Badgers,' was borrowed from the state of Wisconsin. The territory was dubbed the 'Badger State,' not because of animals in the region, but rather an association with lead miners in the 1820s. Prospectors came to the state looking for minerals. Without shelter in the winter, the miners had to 'live like badgers' in tunnels burrowed into hillsides.
When a Badger team wins an athletic contest, members of the band turn their hats around and wear them backwards. The practice started in the 1920s to symbolize the band looking back at the victory in days when they marched out with the departing crowd.
Badgers in various forms have been recognized as the school mascot for decades. The version currently known as Bucky, sporting a cardinal and white letter sweater, was first drawn in 1940 by artist Art Evans. At that time, the badger went by names like Benny, Buddy, Bernie, Bobby and Bouncey. Art Lentz, the department's publicity director, had the idea to bring the mascot to life. The original badger mascot was too vicious to control. On more than one occasion, the live badger escaped handlers before a sideline hero recaptured the animal with a flying tackle. It was decided in the interest of fan and player safety that Wisconsin's mascot be retired to the Madison Zoo. The Badger Yearbook replaced the live badger with a small raccoon named Regdab (badger backwards) and passed it off as a 'badger in a raccoon coat.' In 1949, a student in the university's art department, Connie Conrad, was commissioned to mold a paper-mache badger head. Gymnast and cheerleader, Bill Sagal, of Plymouth, Wis., was directed by homecoming chair Bill Sachse, to wear the outfit at the homecoming game. A contest was staged to name the popular mascot. The winner was Buckingham U. Badger, or Bucky. The name apparently came from the lyrics in a song which encouraged the football team to 'buck right through that line.'
An integral part of any Wisconsin band performance is the playing of the Bud song. The tune is a spinoff of the song 'You've Said It All,' a jingle with words and music originally written by Steve Karmen for Budweiser beer commercials. Copyrighted by Sandlee Publishing Corporation in 1970, the song has become legendary at the University because of its polka-like rhythm. The song became a football tradition after a 1978 victory over Oregon. "Wisconsin was behind by three touchdowns, and the crowd was really dead. I played the song to get everyone pepped up. About 20 seconds after that, Wisconsin scored a TD. I played it again, and Wisconsin scored another touchdown. From then on, the band could never play enough 'Bud,'" said Leckrone.
History of the Camp Randall Arch
The Camp Randall Memorial Arch commemorates one of the most turbulent times in our nation's history: the Civil War. At that time, Camp Randall was not a football stadium - it was a training camp for 70,000 Wisconsin troops, representing nearly all of the state's military might.
Named for Gov. Alexander W. Randall, the encampment also served as a stockade and hospital for 1,400 Confederate soldiers captured at the Battle of Shiloh in 1862. Many of them died at Camp Randall and were buried at "soldiers' rest" at a cemetery on Madison's west side (Forest Hills) - the northernmost Confederate cemetery in the United States. Union soldiers who died at Camp Randall are also buried at soldiers' rest, in a separate section of the cemetery.
The Camp Randall Memorial Arch on Monroe Street was dedicated in 1912, and it serves as the entrance to the Grand Army of the Republic Memorial Park. It's also the entrance to Camp Randall Stadium for the UW Marching Band on football Saturdays.
The two statues that flank the arch - an enlisted solider and an officer - do not have names, because they represent all of Wisconsin's Civil War soldiers. The "1912" inscription on the officer's pedestal refers to the dedication date of the arch, and the "1861-1865" inscription on the enlisted soldier's pedestal marks the years our country fought the Civil War.
The University of Wisconsin Athletic Department's official colors are Cardinal and White. PMS 200 is the designated color of the cardinal.
Fifth Quarter
The Wisconsin Band is nationally famous for its post-game celebration called the Fifth Quarter. Win or lose, fans sing, dance and cheer with the band as they play traditional favorites. Originally, the post-game concert was designed to give the fans something to listen to on their way out of the stadium, but it developed into a post-game party as the band built in audience participation activities.
Graduating Law Students
At the homecoming game, graduating law students throw canes over the crossbar of the goal post in a pre-game ceremony. If students catch their cane, legend claims they will win their first case. If the cane is dropped, the case will be lost. The custom originated at Harvard and came to the UW-Madison in 1910.
Paul Bunyan Axe
The most-played rivalry in Division I football occurs when Wisconsin and Minnesota meet. The UW-UM series is the nation's oldest and has been played continuously for since 1890 (except for 1906). The game has alternated sites between the university campuses since 1946. Much prestige was always associated with the game, and the significance was emphasized with its place on the schedule. Between 1933 and 1982, the Wisconsin-Minnesota game was always the final regular-season contest for each school.
The series took an added twist in 1948 when more than state bragging rights were on the line. After a 16-0 setback that season, the Wisconsin lettermen's group, the National 'W' Club, presented Minnesota with an axe wielded by Paul Bunyan. He was the mythical giant of Midwestern lumber camps. Each year since, the winner of the annual battle between the Big Ten rivals is presented with the axe, complete with scores inscribed on the handle, for display on its campus.
Slab of Bacon
The Slab of Bacon trophy was the precursor to Paul Bunyan's Axe as the prize in the Wisconsin-Minnesota football series. Apparently, the trophy was presented to the winning school by a sorority from the losing institution. The trophy was discontinued in the 1940s and was discovered in a storage room at the UW Department of Athletics in 1994. It is currently housed in the football office at Wisconsin. 'We took home the bacon,' Coach Barry Alvarez said, 'and kept it.'
"Varsity"
The traditional arm-waving at the end of the song, 'Varsity,' was the 1934 brainstorm of band leader Ray Dvorak. He saw Pennsylvania students wave their caps after losing a game. Dvorak later instructed Wisconsin students to salute UW President Glenn Frank after each game.
Var-sity! Var-sity! U-rah-rah! Wisconsin!
Praise to thee we sing
Praise to thee our Alma Mater
U-rah-rah, Wisconsin
Before each home game, the UW cheerleaders and the Red Squad help spread Badger Spirit around Madison. The day begins with a trip to the chancellor's house on the official Bucky Wagon. The Wagon Crew drives around downtown Madison, the Capitol, and around campus. The trip ends at Camp Randall, where the cheerleaders chant, "Let's Go Red Peppers," and each eat a red hot chili pepper.
The time honored "Jump Around" could possibly be the most amazing tradition on any college campus for its students. Just before the fourth quarter 10,500 energy-shocked students literally jump up, down, and around for three minutes preparing our team for fourth quarter battle. The "Jump Around" will get all fans out of their seats unless they don't mind their seat vibrating. The "Jump Around" is so powerful the stadium starts to shake.
Historical DataWhen a Badger team wins an athletic contest, members of the band turn their hats around and wear them backwards. The practice started in the 1920s to symbolize the band looking back at the victory in days when they marched out with the departing crowd.
Badgers in various forms have been recognized as the school mascot for decades. The version currently known as Bucky, sporting a cardinal and white letter sweater, was first drawn in 1940 by artist Art Evans. At that time, the badger went by names like Benny, Buddy, Bernie, Bobby and Bouncey. Art Lentz, the department's publicity director, had the idea to bring the mascot to life. The original badger mascot was too vicious to control. On more than one occasion, the live badger escaped handlers before a sideline hero recaptured the animal with a flying tackle. It was decided in the interest of fan and player safety that Wisconsin's mascot be retired to the Madison Zoo. The Badger Yearbook replaced the live badger with a small raccoon named Regdab (badger backwards) and passed it off as a 'badger in a raccoon coat.' In 1949, a student in the university's art department, Connie Conrad, was commissioned to mold a paper-mache badger head. Gymnast and cheerleader, Bill Sagal, of Plymouth, Wis., was directed by homecoming chair Bill Sachse, to wear the outfit at the homecoming game. A contest was staged to name the popular mascot. The winner was Buckingham U. Badger, or Bucky. The name apparently came from the lyrics in a song which encouraged the football team to 'buck right through that line.'
