2008 Wisconsin Badger Season Preview: Offensive Preview

With the 2008 Season rapidly approaching the Badgers are once again deep at the running back position even after the departure of Lance Smith. PJ Hill should get a majority of the carries with Zach Brown and John Clay backing him up. PJ Hill is coming off of a promising sophomore campaign rushing for over 1200 yards and 14 touchdowns.

At the most questionable position this year, the Badgers finally did announce their starting quarterback last Wednesday. Kansas State transfer Allan Evridge, who just barely lost out to Tyler Donovan last season for the starting job, beat out Junior Dustin Sherer. Donovan started all 13 games last season. This team may go as far as a quarterback is willing to take them.

The receiving corps is extremely young with the exception of TE Travis Beckum. Beckum the leading receiver from last season with 75 receptions and 982 yards receiving will once again lead this team. Sophomore WR Kyle Jefferson showed flashes of a great receiver last year and will lead the team of young receivers.
