The 2025 Wisconsin defense has to step up. Step up the play on the field, and step up the pressure if it wants to leave a dismal 2024 season in the rear view mirror. But with questions in the secondary how can the Badgers bring pressure without sacrificing coverage? By scheming their already aggressive players "open" so to speak. Using alignment and post snap movement by the defensive front you can create pressure that might not necessarily get to the QB but will force the offense into a situation that is advantageous for the defense.

It's time to take a look at the 2025 Wisconsin Badgers, and instead of a traditional preview looking at position groups or storylines we're going back to the core of the Dairy Raid and focusing on the plays and schemes that will make or break this season.

Today we are looking at the bread and butter play in the Jeff Grimes offense but with the twist that will help keep it from becoming repetitive.

t's time for another viewer driven morning walk and talk and it's finally time to address a much asked about topic for the last time: Phil Longo. As a long time supporter I bought in 100% to the hire and also took the L when it didn't work out. And as much as I would like to move on and focus on the new offense and team in general Coach Longo keeps getting brought up. So in response a very detailed reply to the mailbag I wrap up my thoughts on the past and look ahead to the future of the Wisconsin offense.

What ever happened to ________? I always liked him he was a great player I just wished they used him more. Depending on your view of the Wisconsin football team that statement could be about any of a number of former Badgers. I'm not saying that the coaching staff didn't know how use talent, but there may have been some players coming through Madison who didn't fit the mold. Their skillset may have been too situational to fit the true all purpose nature the coaching staff was looking for, or maybe they were just ahead of their time. Regardless how we got there let's take a look back at four former Badgers that, with the benefit of modern eyes, might have been used differently and more often had their skills been used "right". They are the underutilized Badgers.

In Year 3 under Luke Fickell and Mike Tressel, the Wisconsin Badgers' defense is undergoing a major transformation. This video breaks down everything we learned from the 2025 Spring Showcase — from the shift to a versatile 3-3-5 base, to evolving blitz schemes, improved situational play, and key development areas like edge containment and linebacker reads. As the Big Ten welcomes tempo-heavy teams like USC and Oregon, Wisconsin is building a defense designed to adapt, disguise, and disrupt.

The Badgers are redefining their offensive identity blending NFL run concepts, Air Raid passing concepts with creative misdirections. In this breakdown, we analyze the 2025 Spring Showcase:

The New Offensive Identity – Power meets spread with mesh, stick, and sail concepts.

Motion & Formation Variety – Motions and shifts to create mismatches.

QB Development – Billy Edwards Jr. shows command; Danny O’Neil flashes poise; Carter Smith brings raw talent.

RB Spotlight – Dilin Jones takes the lead, with Ituka, Dupree, and Yacamelli all in the mix.

Passing Game Progress – Shot plays, screens, and timing still a work in progress.

O-Line Evaluation – Wide zone strengths, but pass protection and LT depth are concerns.

Red Zone & Situational Execution – Inconsistent, but flashes of promise. The offense is growing fast—but execution, timing, and depth remain key questions.
