Homecoming: Badgers welcome Wildcats

Fresh off his reign as head coach at Utah State, Gary Andersen is aiming to make his first year with the Wisconsin Badgers one to remember.

Andersen finds new home with Badgers

ven though head coach Gary Andersen is new to the Badgers this season, he has been around the block.

Story by Cameron Kalmon Coach Andersen was introduced as the 29th head coach in Wisconsin football history Dec. 20, 2012. A surprising decision by former Wisconsin head coach, Bret Bielema, left the Badgers without a head coach. With Wisconsin heading into its third consecutive Rose Bowl, athletic director Barry Alvarez made the decision to bring in Andersen, who stepped aside to let Alvarez lead Wisconsin in Pasadena. Before accepting the position at Wisconsin, Andersen was the head coach at Utah State, where he accrued a 26-24 record. The Aggies had just six wins in the three seasons prior to Andersen’s entrance. Utah State had the most successful season in school history in 2012. The Aggies were undefeated in the WAC and captured the league title. They dominated Toledo, winning the 2012 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl by a score of 41-15. Andersen is no stranger to Division I football. He squared off against his previous coworker Urban Meyer in the

Badgers’ last matchup against Ohio State. Andersen was the defensive coordinator and assistant head coach at Utah under Meyer back in 2004 when the Utes went undefeated. Andersen may have been an offensive lineman when he played, but he is known for his ability to structure strong defensive programs and strategies. The Badgers were introduced to the 3-4 formation this season under defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, which has helped them hold their opponents to no more than 32 points this seasoon. Both of Wisconsin’s losses have come on the road this season, the most recent 31-24 to undefeated No. 4 Ohio State (2-0 Big Ten, 6-0 overall) and the first a controversial 32-30 loss to Arizona State (3-2). “First of all, proud of the way the kids played at Arizona State,” Andersen said after the Arizona State matchup. “All we’re really looking for is accountability in the situation and an opportunity to let the kids finish the game.” Andersen has an almost extended-family relationship

with his players. Frequently referring to his players as “kids,” it’s clear that Andersen really cares about his team. “You’ll hear me refer to them as ‘kids’ a lot,” Andersen said at his introductory press conference in December. “Sometimes I take some grief for calling football players ‘kids.’ But they are my kids; every single one of them. I look at them the same as I look at (sons) Chasen, Hagen and Keegan.” When he made the decision to leave Utah State, Andersen called up each of the players and explained the situation and why he was leaving. “He believes in first supporting the kids, supporting the players, on the field, academically and socially,” Alvarez said. “The first questions he asked me were about academic support for the athletes.” When Andersen chose to come to Wisconsin, his eldest son Keegan decided to stay with the Aggies and continue playing as a tight end in Utah. One of his twins, Hagen, will also be staying in Utah to play with the Aggies. But Chasen will be coming to Madison to play as a linebacker under his father. Andersen’s family is a big part of his life, so it’s easy to see that family is a big part of his coaching. Stacey Andersen has been married to Gary for

29 years. They started dating when they were 16 and Gary has referred to her as the hammer that keeps him focused. “She will look at me and basically say, ‘Knock it off and move forward.’ She has been awesome at that, especially since I’ve been a head coach. You have to have

someone to lean on. But she’ll look at me and say, ‘Save it, let’s move on.”’ Time will tell if Andersen is the man that the Badgers can lean on. A 3-2 overall start is not bad, but three consecutive Rose Bowl showings is a tough act to follow.

Camp Randall: Home advantage A big part of college football is the home-field advantage, perhaps even more so than in professional football. When you combine a dedicated fan base of season ticket holders along with current students who consistently pile into Camp Randall from week to week, you get a family. The fans carry on the tradition of well-orchestrated chants and cheers that effectively drown out communication for the visiting teams. The Badgers have had two losses this season, the first to Arizona State (3-2) and the most recent to No. 4 Ohio State (2-0 Big Ten, 6-0 overall). Both were away games. Against Ohio State, the Badgers had to deal with the third-largest crowd in Ohio Stadium history. Wisconsin, fresh off a bye week, will look to bounce back with the help of the amenities of home. “It’s fun playing here, we have a great crowd here. One of the

best in the nation in my opinion,” redshirt senior wide receiver Jared Abbrederis said. “You definitely feel a good vibe from them. When things get down, they can pick you up.” The Badger fans provide almost as much entertainment as the football players. The famous “Jump Around” after the third quarter is a tradition that allows the players to know that they are among friends. There are countless other chants that Badger fans perform on Saturdays at Camp Randall. The wave, “If You Want to be a Badger,” “On Wisconsin,” “Varsity,” and an infamous, naughty shouting match between two halves of the student section are entertaining in their own right. One thing is for sure: Camp Randall is a unique and historic stadium with an equally unique and historic crowd. “It’s a lot of fun playing here,” senior running back James White said. “It’s my senior year I need to cherish it.”

Five things to watch compiled by Zach Rastall

BOUNCING BACK Headed into their game this Saturday, both the Wisconsin Badgers and the Northwestern Wildcats are coming off losses to the undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes. The Badgers traveled to Columbus two weeks ago to face the Buckeyes in a highlyanticipated primetime matchup that many figured to essentially be a Leaders Division championship game. Despite outscoring Ohio State 10-0 in the fourth quarter, Wisconsin ended up falling to the Buckeyes, 31-24, after being unable to get anything going in its final drive of the game. Last Saturday night, Northwestern welcomed the

Buckeyes to Evanston, looking to pick up what had the potential to be the biggest regular season win in program history. In a back-and-forth game, the Wildcats led by three as late as midway through the fourth quarter, but junior quarterback Braxton Miller and the Buckeyes would take back the lead and score another touchdown on a fumble recovery in the endzone as time expired. After coming up short against the best team in the Big Ten, both Wisconsin and Northwestern are undoubtedly anxious to get on the field and try to get a big win to get their season back on track.

MISCUES AND MISSED OPPORTUNITIES While both Wisconsin and Northwestern played Ohio State with grit, each had their share of missed opportunities and miscues that prevented

them from picking up a statement win. For Wisconsin, much of this occurred in the first half. The Badgers hurt themselves with costly penalties, the most notable being an illegal shift call that negated what would have been a fumble recovery on a muffed punt by OSU. Despite these mistakes, Wisconsin had a chance to be down by only three at the half, but freshman cornerback Sojourn Shelton dropped an easy interception, allowing the Buckeyes another play, which ended up being a 40-yard touchdown pass with one second left in the half. Northwestern had their share of missed opportunities and mistakes, with many of them coming in the 4th quarter. Junior quarterback Trevor Siemian threw an interception that set up an OSU touchdown, and senior quarterback Kain Colter was stuffed on a 4th-and-1 run late in the game, allowing the Buckeyes to eventually escape with the win.

3 BIGGER ROLE

FOR THE QUARTERBACK Going into the game against Ohio State, there were some Badger fans starting to call for redshirt sophomore quarterback Joel Stave to be benched. But Stave’s performance against OSU in a hostile environment was impressive enough to silence many of his critics, as he went 20-for-34 for 295 yards and two touchdowns. While Wisconsin is of course known for its hard-nosed, runheavy offense, and though it is unlikely that head coach Gary Andersen and his staff would stray too far from this scheme, there might be a temptation to use Stave a little more in this game against Northwestern. It certainly is tempting for UW, as the Wildcats have had some struggles in the secondary this year. They come into this game allowing 287.6 passing yards per game, which is a less-thanimpressive 107th in the nation. It will definitely be worth watching to see if Andersen and offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig decide to go back to the basics and mostly just run the ball, or if they’ll experiment and let Stave air it out more than usual.

TURNOVER BATTLE

grey satterfield/cardinal file photo

Although the Wildcats have been allowing opposing quarterbacks to put up a lot of passing yards against them, they’ve been able to more than equalize with their ability to force interceptions. The Wildcats lead the Big Ten with 11 interceptions, four of which have been returned to touchdowns, and have also forced three fumbles. However, they’re facing a Wisconsin team that has proven that it is more than capable

of protecting the ball. The Badgers have only turned the ball over five times this season (four interceptions, one fumble), which is the lowest in the conference. A big key in deciding who wins this game will be who can win the turnover battle.

PASADENA DREAMS Since both of these teams lost to Ohio State, there now has to be a sense of urgency in both locker rooms to get a win to keep their dreams of a Big Ten title and a potential trip to the Rose Bowl alive. The Badgers are already facing an uphill battle in their quest for a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game and perhaps a fourth consecutive Rose Bowl berth, as they not only need to win all of their remaining Big Ten games, but they need Ohio State to lose twice as well. A loss against Northwestern would end whatever glimmer of hope UW has to return to Pasadena once again. Meanwhile, the Wildcats are expected to be in the mix to represent the Legends Division in the Big Ten Championship Game. Michigan and Nebraska both showed some notable flaws in their non-conference games, so Northwestern looks like it certainly has a chance to get to the conference title game, and maybe even earn a Rose Bowl berth for the first time since 1995. But a loss to the Badgers would drop the Wildcats to 0-2 in Big Ten play, and would leave them with no room for error in their remaining conference games. The stakes are high for Saturday’s showdown, as we will likely see one of these two teams have their dream of a trip to Pasadena dashed with a loss.

An undefeated Oregon squad will face the Huskies Saturday, who come off a tough loss at Stanford following a fourth-quarter comeback. By Grey Satterfield The Daily Cardinal

With college football peaking and conference battles in full swing, this week’s slate of games offers an abundance of tantalizing matchups full of ranked teams and bitter rivals. No. 2 Oregon at No. 16 Washington Oregon is on a roll this year and on the fast track to the national championship. Despite Chip Kelly’s departure to the NFL, the Ducks are still scoring, no pun intended, in buckets. The 5-0 Ducks’ smallest margin of victory this year is 39 points, and they are averaging an astounding 59 points a game. But their lights-out offense is not what has propelled them into the No. 2 spot in the rankings. Oregon’s defense is allowing 11 points a game, good for second in the nation. This week should be different: Oregon is leaving its comfortable home in Eugene and traveling up to Washington, facing a good Huskies team that is coming off a very close loss to Stanford. This is the first ranked team the Ducks will face this year and Washington is not a team to take lightly. Plus it’s always fun to keep an eye on the Ducks’ uniforms. It will be exciting to see how they’ll compare with Washington’s new matte helmets. No. 17 Florida at No. 10 LSU LSU is having an incredible offensive season, and quarterback Zach Mettenberger is putting up

huge numbers. LSU will also benefit from playing this game at home in Baton Rouge. The Tigers’ one loss this year came at the hands of Georgia on the road. The Tigers’ high-powered offense will face a big challenge in trying to score against Florida’s top-five defense. The Gators are coming into this game allowing only 12 points a game. The thing to keep an eye on in this matchup of SEC contenders is seeing if the trend of shootouts continues in the SEC. The SEC prides itself on strong defenses and ugly struggles in which teams don’t win, but survive. This season, however, an influx of offense has exploded over the SEC landscape. Alabama and Texas A&M combined for 91 points, and GeorgiaLSU combined for 85. This is far departure from the 9-6 scores that were not uncommon in the SEC just a few seasons ago. No. 12 Oklahoma at Texas When OU and Texas fill the Cotton Bowl for their annual Red River shootout, the stadium will be split straight down the 50-yard line, half burnt orange, half crimson. The game will serve as the centerpiece for the Texas State Fair as well as a huge statement game for Texas head coach Mack Brown. The Sooners have won the past two matchups in blowouts: 55-17 in 2011 and 63-21 in 2012. If the Sooners win this game by a huge margin, it could be Brown’s last Red River Rivalry game. However, ask anyone in Austin, Texas, and they’ll tell you: Texas could go 1-11 on the season, but if that one win

came against the Sooners, he would keep his job. OU-Texas is one of college football’s best rivalries. It is draped in tradition and whether you’re into Sooner magic or Texas fight, it should be fun to watch.

road. Only time will tell if leaving the confines of Waco, Texas, is the only way to slow this team down.

No. 25 Missouri at No. 7 Georgia Missouri cracked the Top 25 for the first time as an SEC team this week. It’ll be rewarded for its efforts with a trip to Athens to face the long-time SEC power, No. 7 Georgia. The Bulldogs won an overtime thriller last week in Tennessee, but suffered significant injuries to multiple players, including star redshirt sophomore wide receiver Justin Scott-Wesley. All college football fans can agree that no one wants Missouri to suffer the same fate of Maryland, last week’s No. 25 team. The Terrapins got bombarded 63-0 in Tallahassee, Fla. vs. Florida State.

No. 9 Texas A&M at Ole Miss Ole Miss, once ranked No. 21 in the nation, is now in free fall after suffering two straight losses to Alabama and Auburn, respectively. The Rebels task of righting the ship does not get any easier this week as Johnny Football and the Aggies of Texas A&M travel to Oxford, Miss. The issue is that it’s not getting easier anytime soon, with the LSU on the horizon. Yes, the SEC is stacked. Texas A&M suffered a close loss to Alabama earlier this year, but besides that fight, it has been rolling. Redshirt sophomore Quarterback Johnny Manziel has done a good job putting his turbulent offseason behind him and getting back to playing football. He has 14 passing touchdowns on the season as well as three rushing touchdowns.

No. 15 Baylor at Kansas State There will certainly be a blowout watch in Manhattan, Kan. this weekend as the No. 1 offense in all of college football comes to town. The Bears are averaging a mindboggling 70 points per game. The one contest in which they didn’t break 70 points, they scored an impressive 69. Baylor also leads the nation in passing yards with 432 yards a game. Those video gamelike numbers will be on full display as Baylor takes on the stumbling Kansas State. The Wildcats are winless in Big 12 play this year with losses to both Texas and Oklahoma State. This is, however, Baylor’s first game on the

No. 18 Michigan at Penn State The Wolverines will take their undefeated record to Penn State this weekend for a clash between Big Ten foes. Michigan, although undefeated, has struggled in multiple games this year, including an outright survival against a now-1-5 Akron team at home, as well as a squeaking by winless UConn team by a mere three points. Penn State has struggled this year, suffering losses to Central Florida and Indiana. Can the Nittany Lions gain their first Big 10 win of the year or will Michigan’s win streak continue?
