The line between starter and second string is an extremely fluid one when it comes to the University of Wisconsin football team's safeties this season. Defensive coordinator Mike Tressel will use this group’s versatility by aligning them in a variety of positions. Tressel presents some looks opposing offenses simply don’t see often by moving safeties in and out of the box, and sometimes into the slot. He’s going to use the talents in this group to create advantages for his defense.
