Everyone's favorite asshole, Bret Bielema looks to have another powerhouse on his hands after landing Danny O'Brein a year after securing Russell Wilson. Record breaking back Montee Ball returns however his status is currently up in the air after an off the field incident. Ball has 61 career touchdowns, 17 from the all-time FBS record.
It'll be hard for Ball to top his 2011 showing. 39 touchdowns and nearly 2000 yards will not be repeated but the combination of Ball and James White remains the countries best backfield duo. Jared Abbrederis will be the primary threat for O'Brien, the Maryland transfer, who will look to replicate Wilson's outstanding 2011.
Mike Taylor and Chris Borland anchor the best front 7 in the league. Borland, a 5-foot-11 junior linebacker had a team-high 19 tackles for a loss in 2011. The defense will look to avoid giving up the big, back-breaking plays that haunted them last fall.
A week two test at Oregon State is the only thing standing between Wisconsin and a 4-0 start. Once conference play arrives, Wisconsin gets Michigan State in Madison and doesn't play Michigan. A September 29th batle in Lincoln against Nebraska will be an excellent early test for the Badgers.
