When you think of Wisconsin football, you usually think of the running back position. But lately, the defense has been a constant positive for the program. The defense for the Badgers has been a top unit in the country for a while but has consistently been considered one of the best since Dave Arranda was in Madison. After he left, Justin Wilcox kept the defense going for a year before leaving for the head coaching job at Cal.
