For many of you incoming freshmen, going to Camp Randall on September 10 will be your first taste of Badger football, at least in person.
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.

Chaos ruled Week 11 of college football, as eight ranked teams lost and nine more won by 10 points or fewer.

For the Wisconsin Badgers, they needed all three phases to beat the Maryland Terrapins 31-24 Saturday in College Park, MD.
