Frank Kamisky—men’s basketball

 A mid-season nonconference game strikes, and it’s a completely unfamiliar opponent to most Badger fans. First-year Wisconsin head coach Gary Andersen, however, is more than familiar with BYU after his stint at Utah State. Cougar head coach Bronco Mendenhall rearranged his entire staff following a turbulent 2012 season in which three quarterbacks saw significant time. The key cog in BYU’s offense is senior Cody Hoffman, the nation’s No. 10 ranked receiver in 2012. Even with his talent level, it’s hard to believe Hoffman can make up for an inexperienced line and unproven backs, making Wisconsin an easy pick.
