The 2020 campaign was not one to remember for those around the University of Wisconsin football program, as the team finished 4–3 in their shortened season. During the season, the Badgers never got into their true form as cancellations due to COVID-19 and an injury-riddled depth chart dragged down the season.
But, Badger fans have a reason for optimism as the 2021 season approaches. While there are improvements to be made from last season, the key starters on both sides of the ball will be returning, helping to get UW football getting back on track.
Offense
Major producers for the Badgers offense like senior receivers Danny Davis III and Kendric Pryor are back to make life easier for Graham Mertz, as well as sophomore Chimere Dike, who showed promise in the 2020 season.
