As the countdown to the first Wisconsin football game of the season continues, Badger of Honor is taking a look at Badgers by the numbers, checking in on a different Badger or Badgers players who wore the number corresponding with the remaining days until the Badgers head to Texas to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide Saturday, Sept. 5.
Next up in our countdown, signifying 29 days until college football is back, is Richard Johnson.
Johnson became a stellar cornerback for the Badgers during his time at UW from 1982 to 1984.
He had a knack for blocking kicks, and once blocked three kicks in a game — a Badgers record which he accomplished in 1984 against Missouri.
