The Wisconsin Badgers certainly changed up their M.O this offseason when prying head coach Luke Fickell away from the Cincinnati Bearcats, which came with a significant change in coaching staff.

A part of those changes was the hiring of offensive coordinator Phil Longo, whose fast-paced offense was on display during spring ball, a vast change from the previous norms at Wisconsin, which was matched by defensive coordinator Mike Tressel’s creativity with unique formations.

While some elected to transfer, a majority of Badgers players chose to stay and compete with incoming transfers in Wisconsin’s new systems, with some players “breaking out” during the 15-practice schedule over the past month.
