Stop No. 5 of 14 had us visiting Madison, Wisconsin, on Saturday morning to watch Paul Chryst's first Badgers team.
Chyrst, a former Wisconsin player and assistant, replaced Gary Andersen, who surprised many by leaving for Oregon State following the 2014 season.

BTN Bus Tour #Badgers So far ahead of a year ago at QB. Joel Stave poised for his best year. He and PC are a great match

Michael Caputo's leadership is obvious - was on sideline talking technique with D'Cota Dixon. What you need from veterans

Tanner McEvoy might be the ultimate wildcard in the B1G this season. Looks great at WR. Fascinated to see how they split his time btw WR/S

Given his skill set and Paul Chryst's penchant for using TE's well, could see Troy Fumagalli having a really good yr. impressive today

Always interesting to see how HC approaches practice. Paul Chryst is very actively coaching pass game.

With injuries at LB, frosh Chris Orr has stood out today - and word is he's had a very good camp overall

This is clearly not a vintage Wisconsin OL. Not bad by any stretch - just not at level we've seen historically
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 15, 2015
Vince Biegel has been relentless today - really gets after it

2nd RB battle - Ogunbowale has broken off a couple of nice runs; Deal plays w a bit of a nasty streak
