Wisconsin Football: The Jet Sweep Play Isn’t Working

The jet sweep play was a nice wrinkle to the rushing offense in years past. But this season, the jet sweep play has offered next to nothing for the Badgers.

Unfortunately, opposing defense appear well prepared this season. Thus, the jet sweep is not helping the Wisconsin rushing game.

In 2016, Wisconsin football wide receivers ran the ball 26 times for 343 yards. Jazz Peavy was by far the most prolific with 21 carries for 318 yards and a touchdown.

I wrote about why I love the jet sweep in an article about Jazz Peavy that has not aged well.
