With former University of Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema returning to Madison on Saturday to lead the Illinois Fighting Illini against the Badgers, the BadgerExtra team took a closer look at his impact at UW.
Taking over head coaching duties from Barry Alvarez starting with the 2006 season, Bielema left Madison after the 2012 campaign with a 68-24 record after starting his tenure with a 17-1 record during his first 18 games, the third-best start for a coach in Big Ten history.
Here is a chronological list of five of the most important wins for Wisconsin under Bielema.
