Madison— The most noteworthy change Wisconsin's Taiwan Deal made during his redshirt season wasn't physical.
"When he sits back in the film room, he actually asks questions," fellow tailback Corey Clement said. "He isn't the silent mouse that we all knew Taiwan for."
According to Clement, then-running backs coach Thomas Brown routinely asked Deal during meetings in 2014 if he had any questions.
"Coach Brown would pick on Taiwan just to get him to talk," Clement said. "Then, when we'd go on the field and if he would mess something up, coach said...I asked you if there were any questions.
