Watching Wisconsin and Michigan. Is Wisconsin 3-4 what it should look like?

So you're saying Wisconsin not only runs smashmouth football like Nebraska wants, but also runs the 3-4 like Nebraska wants?

Not sure Nebraska wants to run “smash mouth” football. Riley doesn’t and Frost won’t.

There are obviously different versions of The 3-4. Ours is read and react, keep everything in front of you. I was hoping for a more dynamic aggressive D.

Watching a Cosgrove D last night I forgot how much he blitzed. Nearly every play, take the big risk. He would have been a hero to all if the "blitz every down" group.

I think two different approaches with the 3-4. One is an attacking style, the other a more conservative approach.
