Badgers WR Malachi Coleman (@ChiColeman23) knows what it’s like to struggle with self-worth. Now, he's changing lives for foster kids. How love of his sister, a strong family from Nebraska and football helped Coleman survive an unimaginable upbringing: badgerextra.com/sports/footb…

Observations from rewatching Wisconsin-USC. How Barrett Nelson fared in his first start, Junior Poyser's impact on the D-line, that fourth-down touchdown and Cooper Catalano's biggest improvement this year. badgerextra.com/sports/footb…

"Wisconsin robbed USC’s offense of its rhythm, its explosiveness and, ultimately, its credibility, turning seven weeks of whispers into a rather loud reality check." Badgers defense causing an existential crisis for the Trojans. Good piece here:
ICYMI: USC spent seven weeks looking enough like a CFP contender. Wisconsin needed one night to make the Trojans look like CFP pretenders. Lincoln Riley mustered the fewest points of his head coaching career. And -17 rushing yards. Five years in, what’s to show? nytimes.com/athletic/7721637…

Note that won't make the rewatch: 43 rushes vs. 14 pass attempts is too lopsided for the Wisconsin offense. But, there were at least four plays that Colton Joseph "killed" at the line that all became runs. Wonder if some pass plays called need a certain look and he check out.

Badgers will win 24-7 after a kneel. They knock off No. 16 USC. Big win for Wisconsin and Luke Fickell, who are now one victory away from a bowl.

Probably the best defensive performance of the Fickell era given the opponent and what this game meant coming off a loss. Heck of a game from that side of the ball, and offense figured itself out a bit. Wisconsin about to pick up its second ranked win of the season, up 24-7.

Wisconsin in process of sending USC to 1-4 in the Central time zone since joining the Big Ten. Just can't handle the superior time zone in this great nation.

Schwendeman scores from the 1 to put Wisconsin up 24-7 with 5:02 remaining, and about a minute later, Sal Frelick homers to tie Game 2 of the World Series. Camp Randall is coming unglued.

Wisconsin defense comes up huge again and push USC back into an unmakeable field goal. 58-yard try is way short. And now it's snowing/sleeting at Camp Randall. Enjoy that, Californians who made the trip.

What a sequence by the Badgers defense. Forces intentional grounding with an all-out blitz on 3&9, then blocks a field goal to keep the score at 17-7. Looked like Junior Poyser with the deflection.

Badgers have allowed a pair of third-and-10s to be converted this drive. USC into the red zone.

Getting some Notre Dame game vibes from secondary right now. Playing not to get beat deep, but that's giving up 6-8 easy yards per throw.

Badgers go for it on 4&2, shift out to quads left and USC doesn't adjust. Brooks catches, breaks a tackle and scores. Huge possession for Wisconsin. Wisconsin up 17-7 on No. 16 USC.

From what I've seen, no OL rotation. Been same five throughout.

Wisconsin's defensive front did its job in the first half. Five TFLs, two sacks. We'll see what happens in the second half.
