Welcome back inside the Inarbor studios of the Big 1050 WTKA online at the big 1050.com.

We now continue behind enemy lines, the defensive preview, talk of Wisconsin, and more.

So here is Alejandro Zaniga from the Michigan Insider.com.

Now back to behind enemy lines with Alejandra here on the Big 1050 WTK.

All right, let's flip our attention then to this Wisconsin defense that maybe fewer injury concerns and as a result a bit more success.

Defensive coordinator is Mike Tressel.

His goal, the program's goal, I'm sure, was to fix a defense that last year was below average.

And certainly when you look at a badger's team that prides itself on

physicality and sound defense, not up to standard. Last year, the badgers were 91st in

rushing yards allowed nationally, 128th in havoc rate that's near the bottom nationally,

and last in tackles for loss a season ago. Early returns are positive, at least from a rushing defense perspective.

Wisconsin enters as the number one rush defense in the country at just 50 yards per game

allowed, just two rushing touchdowns allowed, 2.1 yards per rushing attempt.

And I think what's most impressive to me and maybe most important against the

Michigan defense or Michigan offense that's been so explosive this year in the run game,

Wisconsin has not allowed a single run of 20 or more yards this season. Nick, how much of this

is real? How much of this is a product of the schedule? Nebraska, you know, a couple weeks ago also had one of the nation's top defenses.

I think that was more schedule-based.

But Wisconsin's played some real teams.

So what are the strengths of this defense and what has made the rush defense so successful

through four games?

Yeah, my man.
