GREEN BAY, Wis. — It has been almost eight months, but do you remember who led the nation is scoring defense in 2015?
Alabama? No.
Ohio State? Wrong.
Iowa? Try again.
Clemson? Please.
It was Wisconsin. Led by now-LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, the Badgers allowed a mere 13.7 points per game. The Badgers also were fourth nationally in rush defense, which might suggest LSU will be in for a tough afternoon offensively Saturday at Lambeau Field. That assumption seems incorrect.
While Wisconsin shut out Miami (Ohio) and Hawaii and held Troy to only a field goal, there was one clear outlier.
