Vince Biegel adjusts to changes under new defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox

By Jake Powers | Mar. 12, 2016

On the first day of spring practice Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium, the large jumbotron standing guard over the student section beyond the north end zone displayed the word “beat” on the visiting team’s nameplate and “USC” in the home team’s spot. Whether the scoreboard hasn’t been reprogrammed since before Wisconsin took on the Trojans in the Holiday Bowl, or some other mysterious reason accounts for this display, it served as a reminder that just four months ago, UW was preparing to take on a defense Justin Wilcox had presided over in 2015.
