In 2005 the Wisconsin Badgers gave the Auburn Tigers a thrashing in the Capital One Bowl. Quite the finale for head coach Barry Alvarez who leaves his post after 17 years to become the University's Athletic Director. Alvarez hand picked his predecessor Bret Bielema who is the second youngest NCAA football head coach.

New head coach Bret Bielema will be a new face to get used to for the Badger fans. He has some big shoes to fill and a tough schedule to deal with. He is a defensive minded guy and that can't hurt when you are meeting Michigan, Indiana, Purdue, and Iowa during the season.

The team returns 11 starter from last year's Badger team who finished off the year with 10 wins. The offense won't be nearly as good as last season's 34 points per game due to personnel losses along the offensive line and in the wide receiving and running back units. Quarterback John Stocco is coming back for his senior finale and his experience should make something happen regardless of the obstacles.

The defense will be the strength on this team. The back seven look sturdy and should improve due to the strength of the front wall. The Wisconsin Badgers have a pair of good kickers but need a punt returner if they expect to be competitive this season.
