Injuries right now are the biggest question on the defensive line. Senior DT Jason Chapman and Mike Newkirk will clog up the middle with Matt Shaughnessy bringing some much needed pressure from the outside.
Returning all three linebackers from a season ago, the Badgers hope Jonathan Casillas and DeAndre Levy can live up the their expectations this year after a disappointing 2007 campaign. Junior Jaevery McFadden won the starting job this season at Middle Linebacker. The experienced line backing corps should be much improved this season.
With the departure of CB Jack Ikegwuonu to the NFL Draft, the secondary is left without one of the best cover corners in the nation. CB Allen Langford should get the start on one side while Aaron Henry and Mario Goins are fighting for the job on the other side. The starter on opening day will most like be Goins due to an injury the Henry who should be back soon. FS Shane Carter led the team in interceptions a season ago with 7. And returning SS Aubrey Pleasant will bring some experience to the secondary.
