The beat goes on... Same shit, different day.

From Ben Worgull at Badger 247:


MADISON – Wisconsin released its final injury report prior to Saturday’s Big Ten championship game against No.8 Ohio State. It was not a good one.

Junior tight end Zander Neuville and sophomore tailback Bradrick Shaw are both done for the season with leg injuries, joining at least nine other players who have been lost for the season with either injuries or personal reasons. Both players were injured in the first half of the Badgers’ 31-0 win at Minnesota last weekend.

While neither put up eye-popping stats, both filled critical roles for the Badgers’ offense. Neuville had played in all 12 games during the regular season (11 starts) and was instrumental in UW’s run blocking scheme. A former defensive end before flipped to tight end last season, Neuville’s improvement in route running earned him nine catches for 81 yards and two touchdowns on the season.

Shaw began the season as Wisconsin’s starting tailback, rushing for 84 yards and a touchdown, but a leg injury forced him to miss week two. By the time he returned, freshman Jonathan Taylor has taken over the job. Despite working in a reserve role, Shaw still recorded double-digit carries in four Big Ten games and finished the season with 365 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

JT/RB's- it all works hand in hand though. Defenses defend the backs on those zone reads and JT starts gashing them, so they go to defending JT and the backs gash them. If JT can't really do it because he's hobble by the knee defense can just tee off on the backs. They do call run plays specifically for JT- but a lot of his runs are just him reading the defenders crashing down and then keeping the ball.
It works hand in hand to a degree. 
Folks have been running inside zone for a long dang time. Zone read is a dynamic way to deal with the unblocked end, but far from the only one. They also use him to even box numbers on QB power and counter runs, but there's nothing that says they can't just run power or counter to the backs, esp with a jet sweep guys as window dressing.
It might mean running into heavier boxes with less favorable numbers, but OSU's talent is good enough that could be effective. (Shoot, I wish it was as easy as teeing off on backs)

losing shaw is a blow, I thought he gave them a really nice change of pace.

and not that you would expect Taylor to get hurt, but if he did, he's was a reliable backup

I think losing the blocking TE was more of a blow. Taylor was going to carry the load anyway. TE's that can block and catch are absolutely invaluable, and Wisconsin likes to play a lot of multiple TE sets.

You nailed it. That is a huge loss. Excellent blocker who also started to shine in the passing game over the past month.

Last fall camp he was a DE..

I expect to see Alex Ingold step in to the H-Back role, or possibly even Austin Ramesh. 

It sucks to lose anyone this late in the season.

Also lost last week was one of their best special teams guys - Noah Burks. It all hurts.

Injuries don't matter at Wisconsin. 

They just plug in the next Stormtrooper, and the machine churns on without skipping a beat.

Next man in has been a motto this year. I'm getting tired of it.

Depth WILL be tested tomorrow in a big way.

They do matter. We missed a damn year of Jack ruining folks. In truth, we missed a lot of years of that. Sigh.

Tim Tebow actually went on national TV on ESPN and said that Wisconsin shouldn't go to the playoff even if they beat Ohio State.

I never liked Tim Tebow.
