2011 Badgers Football Season Preview

In his 5th year as head coach, Bret Bielema has never been this excited for a football season.

"It was great last year to go 11-1, get the co-Big Ten Championship, and make it to the Rose Bowl. It was certainly disappointing to walk out on the losing end, but it showed the potential that this team and school has," he says.

The road to another Big Ten Championship will certainly be tough for the Badgers, as they will have to compete with Ohio State and Penn State in the "Leaders" division of the Big Ten. However, senior standout WR Nick Toon believes it won't be as tough as it sounds.

"Obviously there will be a lot of tough games, but I think we have the team to do it. Our O-line really helps us move the ball down the field, and we have a great D."

Although the losses of QB Scott Tolzien, RB John Clay, and OT Gabe Carimi are hard to hand, transfer QB Russell Wilson, RBs James White and Montee Ball, and OT Kevin Zeitler are all looking to step up and take their spots.

All of the Badgers' questions will be answered starting on Sep. 3rd, when Wisconsin hosts UNLV in their season and home opener at Camp Randall Stadium.

Here is the rest of Wisconsin's schedule for the 2011-2012 season:
