Wisconsin Football: 3 bold predictions vs. Indiana in Week 14
2. Badgers defense forces two turnovers
Jack Tuttle will have some big shoes to fill replacing Michael Penix Jr. who was leading the Big Ten with 1,645 passing yards, and 14 touchdowns.
Coach Tom Allen has come out this week and has stated multiple times that Tuttle is a special player. You do not get to play big time college football if you are not talented, so he is right. But at the same time, the defensive unit Tuttle and the Hoosiers will be playing are really talented too.
Jim Leonhard is one of the more underrated defensive coordinators right now in the game. Leonhard really gets after it and gets the most out of his players. As mentioned in the past, Wisconsin does not always get the highest ranked players like others schools, but they do get players they know will play well in their system.
The Badgers come into this game only giving up an average of 166 passing yards, and 67 yards rushing per game. Leonhard and the Badgers defense will throw different formations and looks at Tuttle all afternoon and force him into a few turnovers.
