Wisconsin’s depth at key positions has driven its success this season, especially when head coach Gary Andersen needs substitutes for his star players.

Backups shine this season for Badgers

ven before redshirt senior linebacker Chris Borland returned to the sideline in street clothes two weeks ago against Illinois, head coach Gary Andersen already had a game plan for what to do without his star player.

Story by Brett Bachman Sometimes, maybe even as you read this, Andersen and his staff conduct “Situation Room” meetings in which they go over game plan changes in the event of a surprise injury. The way the team practices is even structured around expecting the unexpected. “[The coaches] have to be on the same page as far as who’s going in,” defensive coordinator Dave Aranda said. “[The players] you have are all you have, so when you go through spring and fall and you’ve seen them play ... you know the playmakers.” At three separate junctures in the season, key players for Wisconsin have been injured. In all three scenarios, the team saw no falloff in production when using second- and thirdstring players. Aug. 31 against the UMass redshirt sophomore fullback

Derek Watt went down with a hamstring injury. Oct. 12, redshirt senior wide receiver Jared Abbrederis left a game against Northwestern with a head injury in the first quarter. Then, on Oct. 19, Borland made his exit in Illinois with hamstring issues. Every time, however, the Badgers have been able to seamlessly adjust to the loss, making the transition nothing more than standard operating procedure. Persistence is an important trait that any backup has to possess, and the players and coaches for Wisconsin exude mental toughness. The old adage is true—a successful football team needs everyone to practice as if they are starting. “If you’re a guy that’s getting maybe half the reps over the course of practice that week, you’ve got to be disciplined and

tough enough to ‘steal the reps,’ watch other guys do it right and not make the same mistakes as the other guys taking reps,” offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig said. When it was announced that Watt would sit out during the Sept. 7 matchup against Tennessee Tech, Andersen and Ludwig had no hesitations about putting backup fullback Derek Straus directly into the spotlight, targeting the redshirt sophomore with a touchdown pass to cap off the Badgers’ first drive of the game. “What stood out [about Straus], I guess, what kind of didn’t stand out,” Andersen said after the contest. “It was obvious he was doing his job at the run game. He was moving around very well.” It’s unclear exactly when it happened, but Abbrederis knew he had a concussion during the first quarter of the homecoming game against Northwestern Oct. 12. This was a terrible loss for the Badgers’ offense. He had already recorded a 63-yard touchdown reception and looked well on his way to a typical game—Abbrederis is averag-

ing 97 receiving yards a game, even after sitting out three quarters against Northwestern. What happened next nobody could have predicted—though Abbrederis had almost 45 percent of the Badgers’ receiving yards to date, Wisconsin recorded 241 receiving yards and two more passing touchdowns. “It’s an opportunity for all of us to step up and make some plays,” said redshirt senior wide receiver Jeff Duckworth, who had two catches for 36 yards in the game. “We all have to step up as a group when a guy like [Abbrederis] goes down. Football is a game of injuries. For the most part, Borland’s “tweaked” (his word) hamstring didn’t seem like a big deal right away. He tried to return to the game, though it was already clear the Badgers were going to win. Shortly afterword, the Kettering, Ohio, native returned to the Wisconsin sideline in street clothes. His day was done, as was his subsequent Saturday. If it wasn’t for backup Marcus Trotter’s different jersey number, you might never

have known Borland was out. The redshirt junior tied his career-high with nine tackles and forced an interception in the fourth quarter. “Next man in” was a phrase the Wisconsin coaching staff had become all too familiar with. But the question still stands: Why have the Badgers’ secondand third-string players been so effective? Andersen talks a lot about how his players take advantage of moments. He says that’s why UW has been able to sustain itself in the absence of top players when it becomes necessary. That ability, according to Aranda, goes back to preparation. “I love [Trotter’s] attitude, his enthusiasm and his confidence, he’s very on top of things,” Aranda said. “What he’s able to do is take all that minutiae that comes from this scheme or that scheme, and just lets it fly” It also doesn’t hurt that backup players get to watch standout athletes like Abbrederis and Borland operate on a daily basis. “I’ve been watching [Borland] for a while, even in high school,” Trotter said. “How he times up blitzes and how he reads blocks, it’s definitely artwork.”

Five things to watch compiled by Grey Satterfield

1 RUN, RUN, RUN As per usual, the Badgers are back in the national spotlight with a stable of some of the nation’s best running backs. Wisconsin in 10th in the nation with 287 rushing yards per game. The rushing attack is led by redshirt sophomore Melvin Gordon, who has already eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark this season. However, Gordon was limited to a measly 62 yards against Iowa last week. Fortunately for the Badgers, senior James White was there to pick up the slack. White ran for 132 yards and two TDs last week. Gordon and White are both averaging over 100 yards per game this season. There is only one other team in the FBS that can claim to have two players that average 100 rushing yards per game, and that’s BYU. The Cougars are averaging 258 rushing yards a game, which is the 14th-highest mark in the country.

TAYSOM HILL BYU is led by sophomore quarterback Taysom Hill. Unlike the Badgers’ QB Joel Stave, Hill gets the job done with his legs rather than his arm. Hill has 142 rushing attempts on the season for an impressive 841 yards. Hill can throw the ball successfully too. He is completing over 50 percent of his passes while racking up over 2,000 yards and 12 touchdowns. Hill has 20 combined touchdowns on the season, which is the exact combined amount of Gordon and White. This touchdown machine is the reason why BYU has won six games this year and is averaging 38 points per game in those wins. BYU is coming off an impressive win against Boise State. In that contest, Hill was responsible for 408 of BYU’s 568 total yards. Apart from maybe Ohio State’s Braxton Miller, Hill is the most dynamic player the Badgers have faced, and will face, all year. It will be interesting to see how UW tries to stop him and the rest of Brigham Young’s prolific offense.

BADGER LINEBACKERS The Badger linebackers will have the daunting task of slowing down Hill this weekend, they still might be without their leader, redshirt senior linebacker Chris Borland. He suffered a hamstring injury against Illinois Oct. 19. Borland’s replacement, redshirt junior Marcus Trotter, played exceptionally well last week in Iowa. Against the Hawkeyes, Trotter had nine tackles. He also put pressure on the Iowa backfield and forced an interception late in the game. Trotter’s play against the Hawkeyes was impressive, but he’ll face a whole new opponent in the Cougars. Other linebackers will need to step up too if Brigham Young is to be slowed. Look for redshirt seniors Ethan Armstrong and Conor O’Neill to be key in stopping Hill and the Cougar offense. The Badger defense was impressive last week in not giving up a touchdown to Iowa. It was the fourth game this season in which the Badgers didn’t let the other team cross the goal line.

FAMILIAR FOE FOR THE NEW DANCE ANDERSEN S E N S AT I O N SW E E P I N G T H E NATION Badger head coach Gary

Andersen has faced off against Brigham Young plenty of times in the past decade. While he was head coach at Utah State, Andersen went 1-3 against the Cougars. The last time Andersen beat BYU was in 2010, 31-16. It will be interesting to see if Andersen’s experience against BYU will lead to any radical changes in the Badgers on either side of the ball. He said earlier in the week that every year’s matchup, even against the same team, is different. Or is BYU coming into this contest already knowing some of the looks Andersen’s Badgers might throw its way? Yes, BYU and Wisconsin have only played one other time, in 1980, but BYU has faced off with Andersen nine years in a row. There is no doubt that Andersen and BYU are familiar foes. Certainly, victory will be a little bit sweeter for Andersen and his new Badger squad against a team that usually got the better of Andersen in his time at Utah State.

Maybe you’ve seen it, maybe you haven’t, but every time either Gordon or White scores a touchdown, they dance. But this is not just any celebratory dance as a way to say good job to your teammate, but rather a highly coordinated “handshake” between the two feature backs. Look for it on the Badger sideline when either one of them scores a touchdown. The dance has become so popular that many prominent people, including University of Wi scons in-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank and the UW-Madison mascot, Buckingham U. Badger, have all been seen doing the dance on Bascom Hill. The dance also made its way to the ranks of the NFL Monday, when Green Bay Packer running backs James Starks and Eddie Lacy were seen doing it on Monday Night Football after a touchdown of their own. The duo may only have one year together as feature backs, but it’s already leaving a legacy of smooth moves.

NATIONAL OUTLOOK

National title hopes on the line for Alabama By Zach Rastall The Daily Cardinal

College football is often at its best in November, with rivalry games and key matchups between conference opponents occurring during every weekend of the month. While two of the biggest games of the week (Oklahoma-Baylor and OregonStanford) took place Thursday night, there certainly is no shortage of intriguing matchups on this Saturday’s slate of games.

No. 13 LSU at No. 1 Alabama

In recent years, LSU-Alabama has been the marquee rivalry of college football, with national championship implications almost always being at stake. The hype for this year’s game isn’t even close to what it was in 2011 when the Tigers and the Crimson Tide were the two top-ranked teams in the country, but there still will be plenty on the line when they meet in Tuscaloosa. Head coach Nick Saban and Alabama, coming off back-to-back national titles, continues to sit atop the polls and is the undisputed king of college football. Its schedule worked out in its favor this year, with the only real test thus far being against Johnny Manziel and the Texas A&M Aggies. The Crimson Tide boast the best defense in the nation, allowing just under 10 points per game, plus senior quarterback AJ McCarron has been stellar and was at his best when the game was in his hands against the Aggies. Meanwhile, LSU’s national title hopes were dashed after suffering its second loss of the season against Ole Miss, but it has a dangerous quarterback of its own in senior Zach Mettenberger. While they may not be playing for a spot in the national championship anymore, the Tigers would love nothing more than to potentially end their bitter rival’s bid for an unprecedented third consecutive national title. One more fact to keep in mind: The road team has won each of the last two regular season meetings in this rivalry.

Nebraska at Michigan

The matchup between Nebraska and Michigan features two teams that are coming off very different weekends. The Wolverines entered last weekend with hopes of a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game very much alive. However, they were dominated by rival Michigan State, as they continue to struggle on the road under head coach Brady Hoke. On the flip side of the coin are the Cornhuskers, who last weekend were coming off a shocking loss to Minnesota and appeared to be on their way to losing to a struggling Northwestern team. Yet the Cornhuskers’ fortunes changed when they managed to complete a last-second Hail Mary to steal the win and keep them in the race to win the Big Ten Legends Division. However, they need a win against Michigan to keep them alive in the battle for the division and set the stage for a huge matchup against Michigan State next weekend.

For Michigan, this season has been a disappointment as it is already at two losses and has almost lost a couple of other games to inferior non-conference opponents. The good news for the Wolverine fans is that even though they’ve been mediocre on the road in recent years, the team is 19-0 at the Big House under Hoke.

Penn State at Minnesota

Due to NCAA sanctions against the program, Penn State isn’t eligible to play in a bowl, but that hasn’t stopped head coach Bill O’Brien from convincing his team that it has plenty to play for. The Nittany Lions are 5-3 on the season, including two overtime wins in the past three weeks. This includes the trademark win of O’Brien’s short tenure at Happy Valley, a fourovertime thriller over Michigan that to this point is the game of the year in college football. The Gophers have faced their fair share of adversity this season, with head coach Jerry Kill taking a leave of absence a month ago to focus on dealing with his battle with epilepsy. At the time, Minnesota was coming off two consecutive losses to open Big Ten play, and losing its head coach could have certainly led to it going into a complete tailspin. Instead, it seemed to galvanize the team and it has won three straight games, with Kill being able to watch each victory from the coaching booth. If Minnesota wants to keep its winning streak alive, it’ll have to find a way to stop PSU freshman quarterback Christian

Nebraska’s Hail Mary win against Northwestern put it in position to remain in the race for the Big Ten Legends division. Hackenberg, who has been phenomenal for the Nittany Lions this season and has thrived in pressure situations.

Houston at No. 21 Central Florida

This Saturday’s meeting between Houston and Central Florida is flying under the radar, but few games this weekend have as much at stake as this one. Both teams are undefeated in conference play and feature a high-powered offense, with UCF scoring 37 points per game and Houston averaging just over 41.

The Cougars’ offensive attack is led by little-know freshman quarterback John O’Korn, who has thrown for over 2,000 yards and 22 touchdowns, while only throwing four interceptions. The Knights caught the nation by surprise when they upset then-No. 8 Louisville in one of the best games of the season. They also beat Penn State earlier in the season, and their lone loss came against South Carolina. The winner of this matchup will control its own destiny in the pursuit of the American Athletic Conference title and the automatic BCS bowl berth that comes with it.
