There’s no doubt Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen is arguably the best player on the roster. There’s also no doubt he is one of the best players in the Big Ten and the country. That was on display as according to PPF College, Braelon Allen was included as the 43rd best player in the country on their top 50 list. Why Allen Was Included https://twitter.com/PFF_College/status/1686415744492503041 It’s become obvious Braelon Allen is one of the best running backs in the country. In his first two years at Wisconsin, he has rushed for almost 2,500 yards. A majority of those yards have…

After looking at the quarterback depth chart for the Wisconsin Badgers yesterday, today I switch to the running backs. The duo of Braelon Allen and Chez Mellusi is one of the best in the Big Ten and can be one of the best in the country. Wisconsin is fortunate to have two running backs who could start for most teams on their side. Here is how I see the running back room shaking out this year. Starter- Braelon Allen (Junior) It would be a surprise if Braelon Allen played his senior year next year at Wisconsin. Barring anything crazy, he…

Over the last two days, it’s been Big Ten Media days for the college football season. During this session at Lucas Oil Stadium, each coach gets about 15 minutes to address the media on what they can expect this season and answer any questions during their allotted time. First year Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell was the second last coach to go to the podium. Here were some takeaways from his press conference. What Defines Success In Year One Fickell assumed this question would be asked so he answered the question in his opening statements. He mentioned he wants to…

It’s a great feeling to say that Wisconsin Football is back next week! Not the game portion but fall camp opens up next week. It will be a quick month of August and then the season begins September 2 against Buffalo. Wisconsin has made a ton of changes since November beginning with the hire of new head coach Luke Fickell. Players also left while new players came in. It’s been a whirlwind the last eight months. With that being said, here are three big story lines that will be surrounding the Badgers this season. How Quick Can The Offense Adjust…

Today I complete my top 10 most important Wisconsin Badgers for the 2023 season list. Throughout this list, I have listed players on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. I’ve even included a coach as well. At number one to complete the list, I am going with head coach Luke Fickell. The first year coach has a lot of eyes on him as the expectation is to compete right away. A team is only as good as the individual in charge of leading them. Included is a list of numbers 2-10 as well. Tanner Mordecai Braelon Allen Maema…

We are down to the final two of the most important Wisconsin Badgers for the 2023 season! Anytime a team wants to be successful, they have to have good quarterback play. It’s the most important position in the entire sport. As a result, it should be no surprise I have Wisconsin quarterback Tanner Mordecai at number two. Numbers 3-10 can be found below as well. Braelon Allen Maema Njongmeta Phil Longo Chimere Dike Alexander Smith Jack Nelson Clay Cundiff Chez Mellusi Why Mordecai As the new signal caller and starting quarterback this season, Tanner Mordecai is a veteran quarterback who…

Over the course of my segment of the top 10 important Wisconsin Badgers in 2023, we have seen a combination of offensive players, defensive players, and coaches. Numbers 4-10 have consisted of players Wisconsin needs. As we approach the top three, we are now getting into individuals where if they miss time, it could make or break a season. At number three, I am going with running back Braelon Allen. Numbers 4-10 can be found below as well. Maema Njongmeta Phil Longo Chimere Dike Alexander Smith Jack Nelson Clay Cundiff Chez Mellusi Why Allen It seems like a long time…

After selecting Phil Longo as one of the most important Wisconsin Badgers in 2023, I return to the defensive side at number four. I believe senior linebacker Maema Njongmeta is Wisconsin’s best defensive player. As one of the better players on that side of the ball, you’re going to be one of the individuals that needs to stand out if your team is going to be successful. Phil Longo Chimere Dike Alexander Smith Jack Nelson Clay Cundiff Chez MellusI Why Njongmeta After recording only four tackles in the 2021 season, Maema Njongmeta broke out in 2022. He led the team…

From numbers 6-10 of the most important Wisconsin Badgers in 2023, it’s been players up to this point. However, at number five, I’m going with first year offensive coordinator Phil Longo. Longo comes from North Carolina where he was the offensive coordinator the last four season as well as the quarterbacks coach. He will also coach quarterbacks at Wisconsin. 10. Chez Mellusi 9. Clay Cundiff 8. Jack Nelson 7. Alexander Smith 6. Chimere Dike Why Longo Pressure might not be the right word to describe this, but there are a lot of expectations for Phil Longo in his first year.…

As I continue to look at the most important Wisconsin Badgers in 2023, I return to the offensive side of the ball. At number six, I went with senior wide receiver Chimere Dike. Dike will be the lone senior in a young but talented wide receiver room. Dike has made strides in his first three year which is what you want to see in a young pass catcher. In his senior year, I have a good feeling about Dike’s production. You can also read numbers 7-10 below as well. Alexander Smith Jack Nelson Clay Cundiff Chez Mellusi Why Dike When…
