Cotton Bowl Breakdown: Offenses

Paul Chryst will lead Wisconsin’s signature pro style offense at AT&T Stadium to clash with P.J. Fleck and the Western Michigan Broncos after nearly a month of respite for both competitors.

Wisconsin is famous for a strong running game behind a bulky, fortifying offensive line. College legends including Ron Dayne, Montee Ball, and Melvin Gordon have excelled in this scheme — a style of football that has become synonymous with Wisconsin football.

The Badgers feature a formidable two-back duo behind their front five. Senior halfback Corey Clement remains the focal point of Chryst’s offense, leading the team with a 1,304 yard, 14 touchdown performance in 2016.
