It shouldn’t be a big surprise – a Wisconsin Badgers football defense is looking good this year, but not great.
The Badgers led the nation in total defense a season ago but the Ohio State Buckeyes rolled to an easy 52-21 win last weekend.
Defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard is working with a defense that lost eight starters to graduation and now has at least two more starters sidelined with injuries.
So far this young season, U-W’s defense is 33rd in total defense at 319 yards a game, 34th in scoring defense at 19 points a game, and surprising 49th in rushing defense at 121.5 yards a game.
