Special teams:Wisconsin lost both their punter and kicker from 2007 squad. How they replace these key veterans will be a big question for the Badgers.
Offense:
Wisconsin returns 1,000-yard rusher P.J. Hill and four starting Offensive Linemen from last year.
They also return All Big-Ten Tight End Travis Beckhum who has difference maker talent at Tight End. He will be a huge test for Michigan’s safeties and Outside Linebackers.
How well Michigan deals with Beckhum will go a long way to telling us how well Michigan’s defense is playing. Biggest question mark for Wisconsin is at Quarterback, followed by Wide Receiver.
Defense:
Wisconsin defense returns most of the starting team from 2007. Replacing All Big-Ten talent in Nick Hayden and Cornerback Jack Ikegwuonu will not be easy. However, there is more than enough veteran talent returning to give Michigan’s young offense some problems. Matt Shaughnessy is very good edge rusher and Elijah Hodge plays a very good Middle Linebacker.
What to look for:
Wisconsin to test the Michigan defense early and seeing if they can defend the power running game that the Badgers have used for years. In addition, Michigan is going to be tested with the passing game against a very good tight end Travis Beckhum. The Michigan Linebackers have struggled in pass coverage so far this season and this will be a key factor in this game.
