Spring Game Week: Aggressivity is aim of Aranda defense
It's Spring Game Week here at MTB and with it means our look into some of the biggest headlines, position battles, and new things we'll be watching for come Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall. Yesterday we took a look at the wide receivers and the issue of having or not having a secondary option opposite of Jared Abbrederis.
Today, we flip sides of the ball and explore...
Kelly an invaluable asset for UW defense
MADISON, Wis. Contrary to popular belief, Brendan Kelly was not a member of Barry Alvarez's team during his first coaching stint. He was not on the field when Ron Dayne won a Heisman Trophy, nor was he around for the press conference to announce Bret Bielema's hiring as Wisconsin's new football coach.
It merely seems as though Kelly, a sixth-year defensive lineman at...

2013 Badgers Spring Football Preview: Defensive Line
The defensive line in 2012 showed just how talented and deep of a unit it could be thanks to nagging injuries to just about every one of the starters on the line. Brendan Kelly was supposed to be gone, however he received an extra year of eligibility due to his injury history and will be back with the Badgers in 2013 and that makes this unit even better.
In fact all 4 starters...
Badgers prefer playing for 'The Godfather'
LOS ANGELES You could say Wisconsin's football team has been here before, amid sunshine and Hollywood stars, and you wouldn't be wrong. This is, after all, the third straight season in which the Badgers have played in the Rose Bowl.
You could also say Wisconsin's football team has never been here before, and you wouldn't be wrong. This is, after all, the first season...

Getting Healthy Helps Badgers Chances Moving Foward
Wisconsin football has dealt with a lot in the past 10 months. First it was six new coaches in the off season, then an in season coaching change, but it's been the rash of injuries that have really led to what can only be described as an under whelming 4-2 start for the Badgers.
As luck would have it it seems as if the Badgers have gotten healthier at just the right...
5 Things to Watch: Nebraska Revisited
I don't know about you, but I'm really getting sick of watching Wisconsin come "this close" on the road against a ranked Big Ten opponent. For the 3rd time in two seasons Wisconsin led against their ranked opponent on the road and found a unique way to blow said lead.
Every Thursday we give you 5 Things to Watch For in the upcoming game, now with conference...
Badgers desperately seeking takeaways
MADISON, Wis. It's not a stretch to suggest the measuring stick for any great defense can be found in its ability to force turnovers. Causing momentum-swinging mistakes lead to points and quickly flip a game on its side. At Wisconsin, creating turnovers has been a staple of the team's success in recent seasons. Over the past two years, the Badgers have ranked among the national...

Baby Badgers: 2014 In-State Defensive End Commits to Wisconsin
Earlier this summer we spoke to in-state 2014 defensive end prospect Connor Sheehy and after taking an unofficial visit to the Badgers for the UNI game he gave his verbal commitment to the Badgers last night.
Since speaking with us earlier this summer Sheehy had picked up an offer from Michigan and was also seeing major interest from the likes of Michigan State and...
Defensive linemen working on explosiveness
MADISON, Wis. Brendan Kelly popped in the game tapes this offseason and didn't like what he saw from himself in 2011. Kelly, a starting defensive end at Wisconsin, noticed he was a step slow at times and missing legitimate sack opportunities in the backfield. He wasn't alone."A lot of us d-linemen sat down and looked at the film from last year and saw those sacks that...

What's Holding Wisconsin Back from National Title Contention in 2012?
Can Bielema Lead Wisconsin to a National Title?
The position most talked about as a key to Wisconsin's success in 2012 has been the play of Danny O'Brien at Quarterback, but interestingly, if the Badgers are looking to compete at the highest levels on the national scale it just may be the defensive line that holds the key to Wisconsin's success and not Danny...
Baby Badgers: Iowa DT Commits to Wisconsin
Wisconsin's 2013 recruiting class grew by one late yesterday as news broke that Iowa native Sam Raridon chose to commit to the Badgers, making it nine known commitments for Bielema and the Badgers. He's the second commitment along the defensive line in the class and could be a fine pick up for the future of the line.
His commitment came fast as the Badgers offered on June...
