It’s the goal every year, but the Wisconsin Badgers haven’t won the Big Ten Conference title since 2012.
Linebacker Nick Herbig tells reporters at 2022 Media Days he’s “looking to restore order.”
Despite needing to replace eight starters on defense Wisconsin is a solid choice to finish first in the West.
Defensive tackle Keeanu Benton says he and the other seniors want to be remembered for returning to the championship game – and winning it.
Wisconsin beat the Cornhuskers in the championship game 10 years ago.
If they are going to do it again, it starts next Wednesday when fall camp kicks off.
Meanwhile, Badgers linemen Joe Tippman and Keeanu Benton have been named to the Outland Trophy Watch List by the Football Writer Association of America.
The trophy goes to the best interior lineman in college football each year.
Tippman and Benton are both coming off breakout seasons in 2021.
Tippman made space for the successful Wisconsin running game.
Meanwhile, Benton was consistently disruptive in the middle of the UW defensive line.
He had five tackles for loss, two-and-a-half sacks, and two forced fumbles.
