Deshaun Lee

He's going to clean up all the run.

They also have a corner in Jalen Watson and Deshaun Lee that are going to run with Wildey.

Iowa runs to the perimeter behind two tight ends, so Northwestern needs linebackers who can scrape and defensive backs that can finish.

Linebacker Brandon Bruss, he lives in the backfield.

Lutner played all the snaps in the game, all 51 defensively.

Deshaun Lee, Xavier Stiles with 58.

Jalen Watson had 47.

Jacob Wallace, who continues to play well, he had 37.

Xavier Stiles with a 67.

Jalen Watson a 62.

And Deshaun Lee with a 68.

Tackle number really good for Deshaun Lee.

I think he's getting more comfortable.

Deshaun Lee has made that senior jump.

He's been really good.

By

Montgomery had six.

Deshaun Lee had five tackles today.

I guess I didn't realize that.

But Luttmer, not really on the stat sheet with three tackles.

Cornerback play has been pretty solid overall.

Deshaun Lee's been around for a while.

He's very good on one side of the field.

What about up the seam? Is that maybe a particular area that you could see Wisconsin being able to make a play and doing it more towards the middle of the field

Yeah.

But you said, you know, in the first half, after Deshaun Lee gets that interception, gets all the way down to the 11-yard line, and then Trevor Lauck, of all players, gets two false starts in a row.

You know, and then, you know, just there's so many little big plays that went against them that they just – know and you got to overcome that you know and then they had an incredible drive their playmakers made plays but i thought it was a poorly called play a game by tim lester probably the worst i've seen him call i thought it was um the team wasn't ready so that reflects directly on the head coach and you know after re-watching the quarterback situation chad At first, I was like, what are you doing? I can't believe you're doing this.

And then I rewatched it and I go, okay, I kind of get it.

Yeah,

he was six for six or 54 yards at that point.

And as I pointed out in DVR Monday, like he – he was he was terrible after that he um i think i said this on hawk central like he kind of went brendan sullivan after that moment like he just crashed out he just was not good after that point and i think that's why he got replaced i mean especially after you get you know the deshaun lee pick and the ball at the 11-yard line and then you still throw um there's one double covered receiver in the four verts route four verts two and you throw it to vaname and that ball should have been picked

right

But, um, They're going to do some effectively triple option stuff without lining up in a wishbone or lining up in more traditional looks.

That is going to be your best bet, is making sure that that offense cannot get any sort of rhythm, stifling them as much as possible, and using your athleticism of your Zach Glutmer, your speed of your Xavier Stiles, the veteran presence of Deshaun Lee, Watson's speed, Watson's ball skills, and preventing those short passes from uh from being explosive plays and then again really just thinking it's run every time.

There are a couple of times too, where USC defenders shot the gap and Wisconsin made them pay too.

So this is going to be a big one for Montgomery.
