Wisconsin is well known for its beers, cheeses and, now, its linebackers.
While Penn State was widely known as “Linebacker U”in the early 2000s due to their plethora of talented linebackers—Sean Lee, Lavar Arrington, Navorro Bowman and Paul Posluszny, to name a few—the recent play of Wisconsin’s linebackers has rivaled that of the Nittany Lions.
The Badgers now feature a young linebacker corps that finds its way into the backfield multiple times a game. After three games, five Badger linebackers as a group have racked up 11 of the team’s 14 tackles for loss, five coming by way of a sack.
