He was on his way to a Heisman trophy until he struggled against Alabama. In 2015 Fournette ran for 1953 yards on 300 carries with 22 touchdowns and 6.5 yards per carry average. LSU was the 25th top defense a season ago.
Wisconsin finished 10-3 a year ago in head coach Paul Chryst’s first year as head coach. They defeated USC 23-21 in the Holiday Bowl. They must replace Joel Stave who enters the NFL this year. It will either be Bart Houston or Alex Hornibrook. Houston was the backup last year and in mop up duty completed 57.4% of his throws for 281 yards with three touchdowns and two picks. Hornibrook is a freshman. The Badgers sported the second best defense in college football in 2015 as they team allowed 268 yards per game. Opponents scored just 13.7 points per game on the Wisconsin defense ranking the Badgers number one in scoring defense.
