Last week Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema argued that three of his players deserved the three big individual awards in the Big Ten; Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year.
EVANSTON, Ill.—To say the Badger secondary had been an issue all year would be an understatement.
His quotes coming out of Rome last year were pretty startling.
