Trotter twins taking steps to success By Jim Dayton the daily cardinal
In spring practice, the Wisconsin coaching staff decided to move Michael Trotter from safety to linebacker, giving him the chance to play alongside his twin brother, Marcus, for their final season. How fitting. Ever since they were young, the redshirt seniors have had an inseparable bond that extends well beyond football. “Every day I learn something new. I’ve only been at this position for four, five months,” Michael said. “But that’s why it’s nice to have Marcus to guide me.” “Whenever he has a question he comes to me, whenever I have a question about some type of coverage I can always go to him,” Marcus said. “I know he believes in me when I go on the field and I definitely believe in him when he comes down.” They haven’t played linebacker together since grade school, and even now, they rarely see the field at the same time. When Marcus comes off for a breather, Michael steps in to replace him.
Still, working at the same position has allowed the brothers to spend more time together at practices. They can once again rely on each other as their biggest source of competition as they fight for playing time. That competitive nature has been around ever since the Trotters were little, according to their father, John. Though they argued constantly, it never became confrontational and always remained constructive. “I used to call them grumpy old men because they were always competing, not only playing sports but in class. Just always debating,” John said. “But they were the best of friends all the time.” Their father recalls a story when the boys were eight years old that illustrates their brotherly bond. The family has a summer getaway spot in Michigan, and one Friday their mother, Dana, took Michael there for the weekend while Marcus stayed home with his dad in Racine, Wis. All weekend long, Marcus moped around the house and
struggled to eat. When Dana and Michael returned home to Racine, she said that Michael had been doing the exact same thing in Michigan. “When they got back together again it was like a happy reunion,” John said. “That’s the way they are when they’re apart and that’s the way they are when they’re together.” As the boys grew older and entered high school, they quickly learned to utilize their competitiveness to motivate teammates. Jeffrey Mazurczak, the defensive coordinator during the Trotters’ time at Marquette University High School in Milwaukee who now serves as head coach, says the brothers made it a goal after their freshman year to win a state championship by the time they graduated. “Since they didn’t have their driver’s license yet, if they couldn’t get a ride down to our weight facility to lift in the morning, they would take a cab from Racine to Marquette High,” Mazurczak said. “That’s how dedicated they were.”
Surrounded by a talented high school roster, Marcus and Michael emerged as two leaders of the team. During their senior season in 2009, the brothers fulfilled their freshman year dream as Marquette won the WIAA Division 1 state title. “The thing that was so admirable about them was how hard they worked. In the classroom, on the football field, they were just hard workers,” Mazurczak said. “Anything that came to them, they deservedly got because they worked so darn hard for it.” Though the Trotters have spent much of their Wisconsin careers in a reserve role, each is happy with the way things have gone. They’re at a point now where they can reflect on the past with an eye toward the future. “Everyone wants to be a fouryear starter and be a big contributor, but what Marcus and I are focused on right now is just leaving on a good note,” Michael said. “The years behind us have passed, we did our best, and it prepped us up for this year.”
With two doctors for parents, the Trotters have always understood the importance of academics. The brothers each have three Academic All-Big Ten selections and have high ambitions once their college careers reach their end. Michael has a job lined up at a public accounting firm in Minneapolis, while Marcus just finished his applications to medical school. It will mark the first time the brothers will ever be living in different cities. “They thought that they would kind of separate and go their own way [in college], and after their freshman year they’ve been [living] together ever since,” John said. “I think it will be quite difficult at the end of the season when they get a chance to go their own ways.” But with such a strong relationship forged through years of competitive support, distance won’t matter. For now though, the Trotters will enjoy their final year of football alongside each other, inseparable brothers like always.
“…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”

Five things to watch By Brian Weidy the daily cardinal
1
More touches for Corey Clement
Thus far this season, Corey Clement has had 15 or 16 carries in three of the team’s four games. Averaging 5.2 yards per carry despite a long of only 23 yards, Clement has been nothing if not dependable for chunks of yards to
keep the team ahead of the chains. With Melvin Gordon taking the ball 32 times against South Florida, one has to ask why they gave him such a heavy workload. Clement carried the ball 16 times for 77 yards and pulled in a reception for 28 yards. Look for both backs to have 20 to 25 touches against Northwestern with an emphasis on heavily working both in the passing game to build Tanner
McEvoy’s confidence for his first true road game. That confidence ould be imperative.
2
Finding a second wide receiver
As good as Alex Erickson has been—and with him, tight end Sam Arneson—it has exposed just how few receptions the rest of the receiving corps has. McEvoy has 26 completions to wide receivers
this season. Erickson has 21 of those receptions. That in itself has not been bad; in fact, having one real receiver has been a hallmark of the Wisconsin offense for the past two seasons under the “throw it to Abbrederis” method. But by and large, this strategy has made the Badgers susceptible against top corners. Of those five remaining receptions, Jordan Fredrick has two, George Rushing has one, Reggie Love has one and Kenzel Doe has one, with the longest reception by any of those four going for 17 yards on a Fredrick catch across the middle. Fredrick will find himself on the field due to his excellent blocking skills and has the experience to make plays, but if I were to guess who will be the breakout player, I’d pick George Rushing. The freshman has looked solid as a route runner and McEvoy’s downfield passing will, hopefully, improve with time.
3
Fixing a leaky secondary
Against South Florida, the Badgers gave up only eight receptions. That’s the good news. The bad news is that if Mike White was a halfway decent quarterback, that number could have been significantly higher as receivers got over the top of the defense time and again. Lubern Figaro made a big play to force the fumble at the 10-yard line, but the fact remains Kennard Swanson made it over the top of the defense. Furthermore, as good as he was last season, Sojourn Shelton has been a liability this season. Some solace has been that Darius Hillary has looked very good and the combination of Derrick Tindal and Devin Gaulden has been serviceable in the nickel corner role, but even a bad team like South Florida was able to beat them downfield. Against Northwestern, the Badgers will need to improve
on the outside through a combination of pressuring the quarterback to speed up Trevor Siemian’s decisions and tighter coverage on receivers with better safety help from Figaro and Michael Caputo.
4
Badger woes at Ryan Field
In 95 career meetings with the Wildcats, the Badgers are a healthy 57-33-5. They have won the past two meetings by a combined score of 105-29. Unfortunately for the Badgers, outside of Camp Randall Stadium, they have not fared quite so well against Northwestern. Wisconsin has lost three in a row against Northwestern at Ryan Field, the biggest defeat a nine-point loss. Ryan Field has been the kryptonite for the Badgers, who have been ranked in the Top-20 for each of the three losses.
5
Which Northwestern will we see?
Northwestern opened up the season 0-2, losing home games to Cal and Northern Illinois. After an unconvincing home win against the Western Illinois Leathernecks, the Wildcats marched into Happy Valley and came out victorious 29-6 against a previously undefeated Penn State team. So what changed? On paper, not a lot, but games are not won and lost on paper. The largest contributing factor to the Wildcats win was their run defense, holding Penn State to just 50 rushing yards and 3-of-17 on third down conversions. If their defense can take away the run game from the Badgers, McEvoy will be forced to air the ball out, making things very difficult for the Badgers. While Penn State’s rushing attack is a far cry from the Badgers’, winning a game at Beaver Stadium is always tough sledding and will give them confidence to try and knock off the Badgers at Ryan Field.

Wildcats streaking as Badgers go to Evanston By Jake Powers the daily carinal
After suffering an 0-2 start to its 2014 campaign, Northwestern will attempt to lead a resurgence after consecutive wins in its last two games. The Wildcats (2-2) finished last season at 5-7 after jumping out to a 4-0 record, but it lost seven straight games before squeezing out a victory against equally inept Illinois in its final contest of the year. Northwestern’s losing ways continued in its first game against California Aug. 30, when it fell, 31-24, to the visiting Golden Bears after its second half comeback from 24 points down fell short, and Sept. 6 against Northern Illinois, who edged out the Wildcats for a 23-15 win. The Wildcats picked up its first victory against Western Illinois Sept. 20, a week after Wisconsin beat up on the Leathernecks in Madison. Northwestern got all the offense it needed from freshman running backs Justin Jackson and Solomon Vault. Jackson netted 92 yards on the ground and scored a touchdown, while Vault, a change-of-pace option, picked up two scores while rushing for 31 yards on six carries.
Most recently, Northwestern raised eyebrows among the Big Ten by topping Penn State, 29-6, Sept. 27 in University Park, Pa. The Wildcats’ win came as a surprise, as Penn State had been flirting with cracking the AP Top 25 Poll the past few weeks and was 4-0 going in to the matchup. Northwestern’s defense stymied the Nittany Lions, allowing just 50 rushing yards and 266 yards of total offense. Penn State was successful on three of seventeen third-down conversions, and it managed to put just two field goals on the board. Redshirt freshman linebacker Anthony Walker sparked NU’s defense by hauling in an interception and returning it 49 yards for a touchdown at the start of the fourth quarter. Walker also padded his performance with eight tackles and a pass breakup. Senior quarterback Trevor Siemian paced the Wildcats’ offense, scoring on a trio of oneyard rushes and finishing the game 21-37 for 258 yards through the air. Northwestern will look to carry the momentum of its commanding win back to Evanston
when it takes on Wisconsin Oct. 4. NU will have to show progress on defense if it wants to continue its success against the Badgers and then into the rest of its Big Ten schedule. Its showing against Penn State was impressive, but up until that point, Northwestern had difficulty slowing opponents down. NU gave up 414, 401 and 376 yards to California, Northern Illinois and Western Illinois, respectively, prior to its dominance of Penn State. Additionally, the 11.4 yards per catch that the Wildcats have allowed is a major liability that teams will undoubtedly look to exploit in the future. Offensively, Northwestern will need stimulate more production both through the air and on the ground. The Wildcats have managed just four passing touchdowns through four games, and have been held to a mediocre 112.2 yards per game on the ground. Northwestern does not have a true strength to lean on offensively, so until it can find an answer, and put more points on the board, its defense will have to hold tough and continue to improve.

Northwestern finally found a good note for the season with a shocking road win over Penn State.
Spartans good, Purdue bad, pour one out for Michigan By Jack Baer the daily cardinal
Here’s a quick explanation of our voting methodology: We had 10 voters on our staff rank the conference 1-14 and awarded points in an inverted structure (first place gets 14 points, etc.) Without further adieu, here’s how that shook out.
1. No. 10 Michigan State (10 first place votes)—140 points
Congratulations to Michigan State on an unprecedented unanimous first place finish. The fact that this is our first poll might diminish the fact it was unprecedented. It doesn’t matter how many players they lose on defense to the NFL Draft, defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi is one of those coaches that will simply not allow his unit to be sub-par.
2. No. 17 Wisconsin—125 points
Call it some home-cooking, but Wisconsin edges out Nebraska for the No. 2 spot by a very narrow margin. The Badgers don’t play a top five team in these rankings until their Nov. 15 home date against Nebraska, and also get the bottom two ranked teams of Illinois and Purdue in that span.
3. No. 19 Nebraska—123 points
Ameer Abdullah looked like a bona fide Heisman contender again last Saturday, rushing for 208 yards and three touchdowns on 22 carries. The Husker defense looked adequate against the Illini offense, but without Wes Lunt in for the Illini, that isn’t very impressive. Still, Nebraska has an offense at least on par with the Badgers, making that Nov. 15 date all the more important.
4. No. 20 Ohio State—113 points
They gave up 422 yards to Cincinnati, but Gunner Kiel’s presence in that Bearcats offense is a pretty nice excuse. If fresh-
man quarterback J.T. Barrett can replicate his four-touchdown, 9.2 yards-per-attempt line from Saturday, this team’s ceiling could reach what it was pre-Braxton Miller injury.
5. Iowa—90 points
Sometimes, you get the feeling that three quarters of the Big Ten should be in the bottom half of these rankings. It’s… not a good conference. After Ohio State, there seems to be a massive dropoff until you reach a promising Iowa team that is still unfortunately run by Kirk Ferentz, a coach who elicits the excitement of a lukewarm bowl of porridge.
ocre Big Ten team. Quarterback Gary Nova is looking strong and the defense is 41st in FBS in points against, which is nothing to sneer at.
10. Indiana—51 points
One day you’re beating an SEC team that just took down South Carolina, another day you’re getting run off the field by Maryland. The Hoosiers seem paper thin on defense, which could lead to more performances where, and I’m quoting ESPN from last year’s Wisconsin game here, “[They get] hit in the face with a shovel.”
11. Northwestern—42 points
6. Maryland—89 points
Maryland opened its first ever season of Big Ten conference play by blowing out Indiana, who was coming off the biggest Big Ten win of the year at Missouri. Stefon Diggs and Deon Long could be the best receiver duo in the Big Ten, combining for 220 receiving yards.
It seems a little unfair that Northwestern is three spots below a Penn State team they thoroughly beat on the road last week, but when you consider where the Wildcats were a few weeks ago, it’s going to take quite a few more wins before we think they’re anywhere near competitive in the conference.
7. Minnesota—80 points
12. Michigan—33 points
The Gophers registered the biggest win that no one seems to give them credit for, a straw-thatbroke-the-camels-back game for the credibility of Michigan’s brain trust. The Gophers, and especially running back David Cobb (183 rushing yards), deserve credit though. However, they might be the most run-dependent team in the Big Ten on offense, and that’s saying something.
8. Penn State—74 points
The Nittany Lions threw down 2.0 yards per carry against a very weak Northwestern defense, so unless Christian Hackenberg starts looking like a future No. 1 NFL Draft pick (which he most definitely did not last week), Penn State’s going to have some struggles; depth issues remain.
9. Rutgers—56 points
It seems most of the Big Ten was expecting a train wreck from the Scarlet Knights, but they seem to be at least another medi-
One of our voters had Michigan No. 7, so he must be really confident in whoever the Wolverines’ interim coach is going to be. Michigan is bad and they should feel bad. Shane Morris playing even one snap after a possible head injury is a disgrace that transcends being awful at football, it’s being awful at a human level.
13. Illinois—24 points
Illinois is bad and boring, so here’s a list of NFL players that J.J. Watt has more touchdowns than: Andre Johnson, Lesean McCoy, Arian Foster, Matt Forte, Calvin Johnson, Victor Cruz, Montee Ball, A.J. Green, Eddie Lacy and Demariyus Thomas.
14. Purdue—11 points
Purdue was one last place vote away from shooting the moon. It’s going to take some pretty impressive performances for the spread of Purdue’s Nov. 8 game against the Badgers to below three touchdowns.

Week 5 sees ranked matchups across the country By Grey Satterfield the daily cardinal
No. 15 LSU at No. 5 Auburn
Tiger on Tiger violence in Alabama. LSU looks to get on the right track in the SEC following their tough home loss to Mississippi State. Meanwhile, the Tigers from Louisiana are coming off a 63-7 complete trashing of New Mexico State. LSU is carried by two star
running backs, freshman Leonard Fournette and senior Kenny Hilliard. Both backs have four touchdowns on the year and almost 300 yards a piece. LSU’s offensive stats, although impressive, may be boosted by a weak nonconference schedule. The Tigers have high scoring victories over New Mexico State, UL-Monroe and Sam Houston State.
The other Tigers in this battle are coming off a strong road win against Kansas State. Auburn’s terrific rushing attack hasn’t missed a beat since their run to the SEC championship last year. I like the Tigers to win this one. See what I did there?

are on a roll this season and already have two impressive SEC wins, a 52-28 thrashing of South Carolina and an overtime thriller against Arkansas. Sophomore quarterback Kenny Hill is putting up impressive numbers and making everyone in College Station ask the question, “Johnny who?” Hill has 1,745 passing yards for 17 touchdowns this season and the Aggies offense is averaging 51 points per game this year, second in the nation. Mississippi State is coming off a fantastic showing on the road against LSU. Their undefeated record has them sitting at No. 12 nationally. The Bulldogs are led by quarterback Dak Prescott. He has 964 passing yards this year and 11 touchdowns. Mississippi State already has an impressive win this year; the Bulldogs will be thrust into the national playoff discussion if they can make it two in a row.
No. 14 Stanford at No. 9 Notre Dame
The Stanford Cardinal have had a season of ups and downs. It lost a tough game to USC 13-10 but dug out a win at Washington 20-13 last week. Frankly, this Stanford team’s offense is lacking, but its defense is as stout as they come. That defense will be put to the test as it faces Everett Golson and the Notre Dame passing attack. The Irish are averaging 35 points a game; Golson has over 1,100 yards on the season. These two teams have faced off for some classics over the past few years. Notre Dame is trying to keep its perfect season alive.
No. 19 Nebraska at No. 10 Michigan State
A Top 25 Big Ten battle is coming to East Lansing. The Spartans are still reeling from their tough road loss against Oregon. Nebraska comes into this
contest undefeated, thanks to an impressive win over Miami and a Matrix-style bullet dodge against McNeese State. This will be the biggest test for the Huskers so far. Bo Pelini has gone 8-4 in his past few seasons with the team. If Pelini is to turn things around and bring the Huskers back to their glory days, this is where it starts. Nebraska teams of seasons past would roll over under the lights in East Lansing, but there’s something different about this team. The Huskers are third in the nation in rushing and seventh in points scored. The Spartans are still one of the top teams in the nation despite their single loss. They obliterated Wyoming and Eastern Michigan and are averaging over 50 points a game. The stats say that this will be a shootout, but I think this matchup will revert to an old school, Big Ten slugfest. The home field advantage looks to be the difference in this matchup.
No. 4 Oklahoma at No. 25 TCU
The Sooners are looking to be a strong contender for a spot in the College Football Playoff. They have impressive wins over Tennessee and West Virginia and hope to keep their march going strong at TCU. Trevor Knight is growing into the quarterback many expected, throwing four touchdowns and over 1,000 yards. The Sooners also have two running backs with five touchdowns apiece. TCU comes into this contest undefeated as well after a strong win against Minnesota. Its high powered offense is held down by quarterback Trevone Boykin who has eight touchdowns on the season. The Horned Frogs will be playing in front of an amped home crowd, but look for the Sooners to be too much to handle by the end of this contest.
