After a tough eight win season, which is subpar for recent Wisconsin standards, the Badgers football team looks to bounce back entering 2019. A big reason reason for that decline was in part to a rash of injuries, and youth, on the defensive side of the ball. The Wisconsin defense fell from 2nd in total defense in 2017, to 29th in 2018. The defense surrendered a full yard more per play, and gave up an extra 82 yards per game. While these statistics are not the end all be all, they do highlight the drop in production that the defense suffered a season ago.
