How much did Wisconsin's shifting the strength of the formation throw us off?

Countless times, Wisconsin shifted their alignment to move the tight ends/jumbo linemen across the formation forcig us to either switch the 1 and 3 technique tackles, or force them to slide into 1 and 3 basically playing out of position.

Numerous times, or DTs switched at the line and weren't even set and getting knocked off the ball.

That coupled with he he motion killed is the entire night. We looked lost in the first half on our assignments due to the shifting.

Jim Tressel was notorious for shifting the strength of formations like this. We do something similar when we motion backs into the backfield from the slot/out wide. Seemed like a glaring issue to me. Haven't seen it brought up yet.
