The graduation of senior safety Michael Caputo will leave a huge gap in Wisconsin’s secondary.

Wisconsin and Ohio State are seemingly bound to meet in Indianapolis in a few weeks for the Big Ten Championship.
With the hangover of the “408 game” still permeating the mind of the 2014 Wisconsin squad heading into its final two games, the Badgers’ grasp on the Big Ten West was theirs to lose. It narrowly survived the tight confines of Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa and cruised in the battle of Paul Bunyan’s Axe the following week, earning a date with Ohio State at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Jack Cichy has been stellar all season and will need to come up big against the run this weekend.
Injuries have forced countless Badgers to step up this season. Dare Ogunbowale, Chris Orr and Bart Houston are some of the biggest names to succeed when coming off the bench, but of late the Badgers have also relied heavily on outside linebacker Jack Cichy to play a prominent role on defense.
Chaos ruled Week 11 of college football, as eight ranked teams lost and nine more won by 10 points or fewer. It was an especially rough week for teams with Tigers as mascots: Both Memphis and No. 17 LSU lost to lower-ranked teams, while No. 1 Clemson survived a scare from 3-7 Syracuse, which it fended off by just 10 points.
In 2012, the Badgers’ defense was 15th in the nation in yards per game. In 2013 it was seventh and in 2014, the Badgers finished the year ranked fourth overall. This season, the Badgers defensive continues to prove nearly impenetrable.

New defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox is tasked with furthering the development of talented young players like linebacker T.J. Edwards.
When the Badgers traveled to Evanston, Illinois 13 months ago, Northwestern’s offense ran all over Dave Aranda’s defense en route to a 20-14 win. The Wisconsin defensive coordinator wants to make sure this Saturday won’t be the same.
Corey Clement’s road back to full health has taken an unexpected turn. The junior running back “suffered a cut to his hand following an incident at his off-campus residence early Sunday morning,” according to a Thursday release from the Wisconsin Athletic Department.
With one controversial game-winning touchdown, Nebraska might have not only killed Michigan State’s playoff hopes, but also potentially influenced the Big Ten’s own standing within the college football landscape. While Michigan State had been hanging on to its undefeated season by a thread all year, squeaking out numerous close calls, that thread finally broke, providing what might be a fatal blemish to their once historically promising season. However, one must ask if that horrific “L” on their schedule actually is a fatal blow to the Spartan’s quest for a College Football Playoff berth. This foreshadows a much larger question at hand as well: Could a one-loss Big Ten champion be deserving of a College Football Playoff spot?
The Daily Cardinal proved its dominance on the gridiron for the third year in a row, defeating The Badger Herald 35-28.
The 1980 U.S. national hockey team. The 1996 Chicago Bulls. The 1927 New York Yankees.
In some games, a team can rely on one player or one unit to carry them to victory. A running back or an impenetrable defense can win a lot of games on their own in college football. For the Wisconsin Badgers, they needed all three phases to beat the Maryland Terrapins 31-24 Saturday in College Park, MD.
