Wisconsin Badgers Offense Must Provide Strong Offensive Showing to Open Critical 2025 Season

The RedHawks did add some exciting talent to the roster via the transfer portal, however, such as former Kansas edge rusher Bai Jobe and former Purdue corner back Koy Beasley who will both join the defense.

Miami may have added some talent, but the 4-2-5 defense is often a needy one and the RedHawks may not have the exact roster fits needed to allow the defense to blossom. Between the lack of depth at linebacker and the losses in the secondary, the Wisconsin Badgers should have plenty of holes to attack. The big question, however, is where should Wisconsin aim the knockout punches?

Miami managed to hold onto some players despite the transfer portal growing such as Brian Ugwu and Corey Suttle along the defensive line, but both lineman have since graduated. Ugwu and Suttle combined for 13 sacks last season and were the main disrupters of the offense for the RedHawks. Outside linebacker Adam Trick recorded 4.5 sacks last season and was responsible for most of the disruption Ugwu and Suttle did not cause.

Trick is going to be the main attacker for the RedHawks and if the Wisconsin Badgers can slow down both Trick and the RedHawks defensive line, quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. should be able to run the offense flawlessly. Outside of the talented linebacker, Miami lacks a combination of experience and past production on defense which could hold the program back.

The Wisconsin Badgers will likely test the secondary depth Miami has after all the turnover and receivers such as Trech Kekahuna and Chris Brooks Jr. could pose a threat to the defense as a speed and power combo. The Badgers offense has a lot to prove, and perhaps displaying a real aerial attack is something the staff will aim to do against the RedHawks.
