Play Selection

52370713426_870956897d_o.png


Ohio State is more likely to call a pass on any down than Wisconsin, except 4th (the Buckeyes haven't been in a passing situation on 4th down).

The Buckeyes are almost twice as likely to call a pass on 1st down as the Badgers.

There is a great deal that I could post about the tendencies of both teams in terms of downfield passes by down (e.g. the Badgers throw high percentage, medium range passes on 2nd down; Buckeyes take shots downfield), but I expect both teams to break those tendencies in this game. It would not surprise me however, if both teams more or less kept to the script posted above in terms of play selection.

I wouldn't be so sure, Wisconsin always seems to play us tough even in a down year. On paper I think we're probably a 3 TD favorite (line right now is 17.5) being at home, but it would not surprise me if Wisky keeps it close for awhile, they do seem to have a tough defense.

I think they take a deep zone approach early like they did the year in the ccg in 19. If that’s the case, my question is do we counter it earlier than we have been which has caused these elongated droughts in games.

Underrated test for sure.
