A special guest visited the Wisconsin football team this week, one who knows quite a bit about having success against this weekend’s opponent, the Ohio State Buckeyes. That visitor was UW Athletic Director and former football head coach Barry Alvarez, whose Badgers toppled the Buckeyes five times during his time at the helm.
“Everybody was ready to play the game after he talked to us,” defensive end O’Brien Schofield said. “It got us real amped up just to hear the history and the motives. He told us how to beat them. … You’ve got to play smart football. You can’t beat yourself. We’ve really been thinking about those things while we’ve been practicing this week.”
Wisconsin (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) heads into Ohio Stadium this week to face No. 9 Ohio State (4-1, 2-0) for what appears to be its most important game so far this season.

I hope Coach Alvarez inspired them to keep their head in the game all the way through this year.
