The Badger WR's & TE's, primarily, plus a much improved Hornibrook who showed he really knows where to go with the ball, and doesn't have to lock onto either Fumigalli or Peavy anymore, because they now have more high-quality options in the passing game in Penniston, Neuville, Cephus, Taylor, and Davis. That - and finally - an experienced and deep OL that can push opponents around again like they did back in '09/'10/'11. Reports from camp are that Chryst finally has the passing game he's been trying to develop since he returned to compliment the running attack (and they'll still have 3 very good backs in Shaw, James, and Frosh phenom Jonathan Taylor - wait 'till you see this kid!). The Badger offense this season will reportedly have the most balanced attack its had since 2011. Aside from their base 21 personnel, they'll be able to throw a lot more 3-WR and 3-TE sets at opponents this year to get mis-matches. While I'm not guaranteeing a UW win in Lincoln, I can tell you that Bucky will definitely have a tougher, more-balanced, and more explosive offense than what you guys have seen the last (2) years. And while the defense will still be very salty, they will no doubt feel the loss of Watt & Beigel this year at OLB, so we'll see. Should be another fun season, and hopefully the West shows they can continue to match the East, and whoever our division champ is, hopefully they can finally win in Indy !

It is ??????? Previous results since the last divisional reorg: Season West East Champion 2014 7 7 East 2015 7 7 East 2016 11 10 East For those who hate math, that makes it West over East, 25-24 in the regular season, and East over West, 27-25 overall. Other than the East winning the last (3) CC games, with the last two being won by a TOTAL margin of (10) points, the numbers say the gap (what gap exists) is closer to being razor-thin than "widening."
