Fall football camp update: defense

As the college football season gets closer, there are still unanswered questions on every roster around the country. While coaches are often careful with how much information they release, watching practice can clarify the potential depth charts for the season. Here’s how Wisconsin’s defense is shaping up.

Fall football camp update: offense

At the beginning of each season, college football rosters are always in a state of flux. With players graduating, transferring or leaving early to the NFL, there is a level of turnover unlike anything in professional sports. It’s tough to gauge how the Badgers will look this year based on a handful of practices, but several trends on the offensive side of the ball have emerged.

Melvin Gordon tears through record book, sets table for Big Ten title run

Wisconsin has become known for producing good, if not great, college running backs in the last two decades. These running backs have had some spectacular individual performances, but none were better than what Melvin Gordon accomplished last season. Gordon finished last year with 2,587 yards and 29 touchdowns, but a major chunk of that yardage came in one game in November against Nebraska when he rushed for 408 yards, a single-game NCAA record.

UW outlasts Auburn in Outback Bowl

Despite a national championship appearance for basketball and a successful 2014 football season, the 2015 Outback Bowl between the No. 18 Badgers and No. 19 Auburn Tigers proved to be the most memorable sports moment for me during my freshman year.

How far we’ve come: UW’s last 25 years

As the Wisconsin basketball team celebrated earning the first NCAA Tournament 1-seed in program history, unaware of the thrills, laughs and, ultimately, tragedy they would encounter, they were unknowingly cheering another achievement. A far more enduring, and impressive, accomplishment.

Gordon headlines UW prospects in NFL Draft

The 2014 NFL Draft was the first since 2010 that did not feature a Wisconsin Badger walking across the stage in the first round. Melvin Gordon should be able to put the school name back in the spotlight Thursday, like he did all season on the field.


Corey Clement

Clement flaunts dynamic personality

It’s no secret that Corey Clement is going to be the star of Wisconsin football next year. He’s already got four multi-touchdown games under his belt, and has a career average of seven yards per carry. That’s a higher rushing average than James White, Montee Ball and John Clay. Everyone’s waiting with bated breath to see what he will do, and that’s a lot of pressure.


Rob Wheelwright

Erickson, Wheelwright lead unproven wide receiver corps

Wisconsin wide receivers not named Alex Erickson combined for 39 catches and 427 yards in 2014. Wisconsin receivers named Alex Erickson compiled 55 catches for 772 yards. When Joel Stave and Tanner McEvoy dropped back to pass, they didn’t have a whole lot of consistent options on the outside to throw to.

Positions to watch during the spring game

After losing their star player and head coach from last season’s Outback Bowl champion squad, the Badgers will trot out a different looking team to open the 2015 season when they take on Alabama Sept. 5. But before that, there figures to be plenty of intrigue entering Paul Chryst’s first spring game as Wisconsin’s head coach.
