Trent Frederic has not been as dominant as many predicted thus far in his sophomore season. If Frederic can respond and pick up some offensive momentum, the Badgers will likely earn a sweep this weekend against Michigan State.

Badgers fall in conference opener against Ohio State

By Cameron Lane-Flehinger | Oct. 6, 2017

Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. The Wisconsin Badgers (0-1-0 Big Ten, 1-1-0 overall) learned that lesson the hard way in the closing stages of a 3-2 loss to Ohio State (1-0-0, 1-0-0) at the Kohl Center Friday night, as a pair of key defensive miscues soiled an otherwise strong defensive performance by the Badgers. The Buckeyes came out stronger in what was their season opener, possessing the puck for long stretches and keeping junior netminder Sean Romero out of danger with only four shots on goal allowed in the opening period. “I think they came out and got to their game before they let us get to ours,” head coach Tony Granato said.

The injury to Chikwe Obasih has opened the door, allowing Isaiahh Loudermilk to receive more snaps.

Not in Kansas anymore: Loudermilk's unique journey to UW starting to pay off

By Jake Nisse | Oct. 5, 2017

Isaiahh Loudermilk never expected to be here. Not when he was a tall second grader in Chris Haag’s physical education class. Not when he was cutting his teeth playing football at the junior high level. And not even when he starred for West Elk High School when his massive frame and ability started to bring attention to tiny Howard, Kan. No, playing Big Ten football and earning a sack in front of thousands of adulating fans, as he did this past Saturday versus Northwestern, was never part of Loudermilk’s agenda. But that is his reality now. “I wasn’t really planning, when I first started playing football, to get offers or anything like that,” Loudermilk said.

Natrell Jamerson has moved over to safety for the first time in his career at UW.

Playing at a new position, Jamerson making an impact in yet another way

By Jake Nisse | Oct. 5, 2017

Against Northwestern, in just his fourth-ever start at safety for the No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers (2-0 Big Ten, 4-0 overall), senior Natrell Jamerson recorded his first career interception in the second quarter. He would grab interception number two a couple of hours later, this time managing to stay upright for longer as he rumbled for a 36-yard touchdown, effectively ending the game. “I knew as soon as he got the ball to him he was gone,” said redshirt junior inside linebacker T.J Edwards of his teammate’s return.

Wisconsin's defense sacked Northwestern quarterback Clayton Thorson eight times in the Badgers' win over the Wildcats.

Wisconsin survives late push from Northwestern

By Jake Nisse | Sep. 30, 2017

With just over a minute to play at Camp Randall Stadium, over 80,000 raucous Wisconsin fans watched nervously as Northwestern began a drive from its own 2-yard line, the first of any such late-game drama for the Badgers this season. There were surely flashbacks to UW’s losses to the Wildcats in 2014 and 2015, and collective groans around the stadium as Wisconsin watched a 21-point lead dwindle to just seven. But after a safety forced by senior safety D’Cota Dixon, Wisconsin (1-0 Big Ten, 4-0 overall) eventually triumphed 33-24 over Northwestern (0-1, 2-2) Saturday, as the Badgers made various self-inflicted mistakes, but also got some significant late-game experience. “It was definitely nice,” Dooley said of the game’s squeaky finish.
