How's their defense look?



It's honestly tough to say, like i said a lot of it was 2 hand touch.

They still are running a 3-4 defense though. They had 2 freshman starting ILBs last year so they will be much better there this year with those guys having a ton of experience as upcoming sophomores.

Where they will struggle is up front, Wisconsin doesnt really get the NFL Dlinemen where we do. Our OL should control the LOS making it pretty easy for Fournette and Harris. You know Fournette will deliver but to me waht makes this game either a blowout or close is how Harris performs. If we throw for 200+ yards and efficiently I see us running away with it. If Harris has a 80 yard type game with a turnover or two it could go down to 4th quarter.

For historical reasons. In the 2002 spring game, Lee Evans, who later played for Buffalo and made all-pro, badly tore up his knee. Missed the entire 2002 season. He had decided not to go pro after his highly successful junior year in 2001 and almost lost his career on what normally would have been a routine tackle.

It was lucky he recovered well and had a nice pro career, but the lesson was learned. Proven players do not get in a lot of hitting in spring ball or fall camp.

This makes sense when you don't have three five star recruits in the depth chart behind a star player.

This kind of stuff is aggravating... you have no idea what "should" happen. Easy?

Like someone else mentioned, it sure didn't look that way when we actually played them less than two years ago.
