Flashback all the way to the summer of 2018. The Wisconsin Badgers were widely recognized as the 2017 Orange Bowl champions that could potentially take the next step by beating Ohio State and winning the Big 10 for the first time since 2012.
They returned every single offensive lineman from their one-loss 2017 season which included three All-Americans and a freshman All-American, star running back Jonathan Taylor, a third-year starter at quarterback in Alex Hornibrook, and All-American linebacker T.J. Edwards who returned for his senior year despite having an opportunity to go pro.
