Wisconsin Badgers 2019 Football Preview

Schedule and lack of returning starters are perhaps the only reasons why the Badgers aren’t favored to win the West yet again in 2019.

Since Nebraska joined the Big Ten conference, it turns out the Wisconsin Badgers have occupied the spot that Husker fans expected the Big Red to occupy in the conference. Wisconsin has five championship game appearances in eight years; nobody else has more. Wisconsin has won seven out of the eight games between the two schools with five of those games decided by three or more scores. And the Badgers do it in a fashion that old school Nebraska fans absolutely love: a powerful ground attack fueled by monster offensive linemen and fullbacks combined with a suffocating defensive scheme.

That “Wisconsin Way” has survived coaching changes from Barry Alvarez to Bret Bielema, Gary Anderson and now Paul Chryst. Granted, none of these coaching changes were the result of dismissals; there’s a lot of risk in messing around with formulas that are working.
