How will Jim Leonhard perform as defensive coordinator? Well,...

The Wisconsin Badgers made their first ever visit to Provo, Utah to play BYU over the weekend. And the football game made history in more than one way. While Wisconsin got the victory 40-6 on the field, the real winner may have been the Provo economy. You see, there are apparently two bars in Provo, Utah, a town of over 115,000 people. (That fact may not be surprising given the incredibly...

It should be another big year for the Badgers. The Wisconsin women’s hockey team is starting the season ranked second in the USCHO preseason poll.

Our Sunday morning look back at the Badgers. Play of the game From the Wisconsin side, it has to be the 50-yard completion from redshirt sophomore quarterback Alex Hornibrook to true freshman wide receiver Danny Davis.

More on the Badgers’ dominant W. Yes, No. 9 Wisconsin was over a two-touchdown favorite to take down BYU on Saturday, but with some uneven play early on, many wondered how the Badgers would face its road test.

BYU put on a show for fans before Saturday’s game against Wisconsin kicked off, but it didn’t end the way they would have hoped. Three people parachuted down onto the field to get fans pumped up, but unfortunately, one of them seemed to overshoot their landing a bit. The first parachutist dropped in for a perfect landing, but the second one came in a bit deep and ended up crashing...

In one of those can’t-look-away scenarios, a parachute jumper at the Wisconsin-BYU game Saturday missed his mark in a bad way. Instead of landing on the BYU logo in the middle of the field, the parachute jumper overshot his landing by about 70 yards. As a result, he or she ended up slamming into the stands, rather than landing softly on the turf. Yikes. It looked like kind of a...

The BYU football team was already facing long odds if they wanted to steal a victory from the Wisconsin Badgers.

The Wisconsin Badgers are traveling West this week. They’ll be facing off against the Brigham Young Cougars, a team whose university is located in Provo, Utah.

Time to catch up with some future Badgers. Wisconsin Badgers fans have to wait until 2:30 pm CT today to watch No. 10 UW take on BYU. So why not check in on some future Badgers?

Never forget about the specialists—especially the true freshmen. True freshman Adam Bay’s first collegiate game, and first collegiate long snap, forced him into action early and not under the best of circumstances. On a 4th-and-23 during their first offensive series of the year versus Utah State, the Wisconsin Badgers needed to punt from their own eight-yard line after two sacks...

Provo * Somewhat lost in all the mystery surrounding BYU quarterback Tanner Mangum’s ankle injury this week is the sobering fact for the Cougars that their offense is the sixth-worst in the country, even with the experienced Mangum at the helm. Also diminished is the realization, which might not hit until 1:30 p.m. MT Saturday, that one of the best teams in college football will...

The Badgers are starting to see promising results from a young defender. MADISON—Garret Dooley believes it was sometime during the end of spring and into the second week of fall camp. Leon Jacobs remembers it showed during a Friday night scrimmage when three tackles for loss were recorded. The “it” is when fellow outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, from the outside looking...

The recent storms known as Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma took a toll on things much more important than college football, but the problems posed to the college football schedule threw a number of universities and football programs into a complete scramble mode to make schedule adjustments where needed. Before Hurricane Irma reached the coastlines of the state of Florida, the...
