Overview

• Wisconsin leads the nation in rushing defense at roughly 50 yards allowed per game, setting up a strength-on-strength test against Michigan’s top-10 ground attack led by Justice Haynes.
• Sherrone Moore said the bye week centered on tackling, ball security, and fixing an unusual spike in drops, with coaches drilling specific receiver hand techniques.
• Freshmen Andrew Marsh and Jamar Browder drew praise in practice, as did RB Jasper Parker and LB Nate Owusu-Boateng, and receiver rotation changes remain possible based on this week’s work.
• Giovanni El-Hadi, Brady Norton, and Hogan Hansen are trending toward availability, with right guard an open competition as Jake Guarnera pushes to keep snaps even when Norton returns.
• Moore emphasized scheming to attack Wisconsin’s structural weaknesses rather than abandoning the run, with kickoff set for noon ET at Michigan Stadium on FOX.
