There’s a new face running the show for the Wisconsin Badgers’ defense this season. With former defensive coordinator Dave Aranda off to LSU, Justin Wilcox is taking over the unit that allowed the second-fewest yards per game in the country last season, so expectations will be high in 2016. Despite the changes at the top, Wisconsin fans shouldn’t notice too many differences with the way the defense looks on the field.
