While the Brewers are in first place, they have had their problems offensively this season. As a team, Milwaukee is only hitting .224 as a team, which is 29th in all of baseball. Only the Seattle Mariners have a lower average. It also doesn’t help that Christian Yelich still hasn’t found his bat yet since […]

After throwing a combined no-hitter against the Dodgers, nothing has gone right for the Chicago Cubs. They’ve lost 11 games in a row and five of those games have been by one run. While the NL Central can still be won, General Manager, Jed Hoyer, and the Ricketts family must be honest about the future. […]

Every team has the dreaded “trap game” on their schedule. Wisconsin is no exception to this theory. In the Paul Chryst era, the Badgers have lost their trap games in 2018 and 2019. This has often knocked Wisconsin out of the playoff conversation. This season, I see the Badgers October 16th match up against the […]

Paul Chryst returns for his seventh season as the head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers. Chryst also will have additional responsibilities on offense this season. While the Badgers return most of their coaching staff from last year, the offseason wasn’t without change. The Badgers lost their running backs, quarterbacks, and defensive line coach’s. They also […]

Going into the 2020 season, Eric Burrell was the headliner of the Badgers safeties. Although Reggie Pearson not being medically cleared definitely hurt, Scott Nelson and Colin Wilder played well and gave the Badgers something to look forward to this season. While Burrell didn’t have the year most people envisioned, he brought much-needed leadership to […]

Despite the Badgers cornerbacks not catching an interception, they held opposing offenses 169.8 yards per game and only 15.7 points per game, both good enough for sixth in the country. Considering how good the Badgers are at the inside linebacker and defensive line positions, interceptions are sometimes hard to get. Rachad Wildgoose was considered to […]

The 2020 season was a rough one for the Badgers outside linebackers. It possibly led to Jack Sanborn and Leo Chenel having to handle most of the tackling work. While it’s easy to blame COVID, cancellations, and no spring practice, the Badgers outside linebackers were similarly unproductive like they were in 2018. At that time, […]

The Wisconsin Badgers are successful because of their inside linebacker play. Even during the weird 2020 season, their inside linebacker position was still amazing. Wisconsin consistently churns NFL-ready linebackers. Returning for next season are starters Jack Sanborn and Leo Chenal. Both provided high-level play last season. The Big Returners Sanborn followed up his strong 2019 […]

The Badgers had another great defensive year. The line shut down the run per usual, and that began with Isaiahh Loudermilk, Keeanu Benton, and Garrett Rand. All three of those guys were responsible for clogging the gaps and occupying blockers for the linebackers. Loudermilk would go on to take home All-Big Ten honors. All three […]

2020 was a year of unusual things happening and the Badgers offensive line not being dominant wasn’t normal. While the offense was hot to begin the season, it cooled down; and while there were multiple issues, the offensive line shares some of the blame. The rushing attack regressed badly from 2019. Graham Mertz had five […]

If anything on offense has no questions, it’s the tight end position. Jake Ferguson led the Badgers in receptions (30), receiving yards (305), and touchdowns (4). Ferguson even improved as a run blocker during the season. When the Badgers’ receivers’ room was decimated by injuries, Ferguson was a marked man for opposing defenses and that […]

The 2020 season wasn’t kind to the Wisconsin Badgers’ receiver room. Coming into the season, the Badgers were saddled with seniors that would be huge parts of the offense in Kendric Pryor, Danny Davis III, Jack Dunn, and Adam Krumholz. Instead, it never came to fruition; Davis and Pryor battled injuries all season and only […]

Running the ball has always been a hallmark of the Wisconsin Badgers football program. Last season was a transition year for the Badgers backfield. Jonathan Taylor left for the NFL, leaving the carries to be divided among Jalen Berger, Garrett Groshek, Isaac Guerendo, and Nakia Watson. Due to offensive inefficiencies, no offseason, and Coronavirus issues, […]
