How UW fills holes key for Wisconsin Badgers' 2020 offense

  • Oct 9, 2020
  • Oct 9, 2020 Updated Aug 21, 2023

After bouncing back from a down year with a 10-4 campaign and a Rose Bowl appearance, the University of Wisconsin football team finds itself in an interesting position on offense.

The Badgers won’t have star junior tailback Jonathan Taylor in the backfield next season, and it won’t have junior Tyler Biadasz anchoring the offensive line for the first time in three seasons. But they have options and depth at positions like tight end that were thin this season for a variety of reasons.
