Badger Football: Confidence Meter for Each Position Group on Defense
The season opener is just a week away, so what is our confidence rating of every position group on defense heading into the season?.

5 things to know about Wisconsin football's first 2024 opponent, Western Michigan
Luke Fickell and his University of Wisconsin football team are now preparing for some weeknight “MACtion” under the lights of Camp Randall Stadium.
