Kansas State 4-2 107General <strong>Notes</strong> Bret Bielema’s 17-1 record <strong>to</strong> start his head coaching career is the second-bestcoaching start for a Big Ten coach in his<strong>to</strong>ry. Only the legendary Fielding Yost ofMichigan, who went 55-0-1 from 1901-05, had a better beginning <strong>to</strong> a career. Wisconsin has lost consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 5 and Nov.12, 2005. The last time UW lost three straight games was the final three games of the2004 season. Wisconsin is one of three programs in the nation with no more than onehome loss since the start of the 2004 season. The Badgers are 22-1 at Camp RandallStadium during that time. The others are Boise State (23-1) and Southern California(20-1). During its 11-game home winning streak (since the start of 2006), UW hasscored at least 30 points eight times. The Badgers are averaging 32.4 points in thosegames, <strong>com</strong>pared <strong>to</strong> 14.5 for their opponents. Wisconsin was among the <strong>to</strong>p 10 in both polls in each of the first six weeks thisseason. The last time UW was ranked among the <strong>to</strong>p 10 in each of the first six weekswas 1963. The Badgers have been ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 for 44 of the past56 weeks, dating back <strong>to</strong> the start of the 2004 season. Wisconsin has not been shut out since a 34-0 setback against 17th-ranked Syracuseon Aug. 24, 1997 (the season-opener that year). Since then, the Badgers havescored in 133 straight games. That is the longest streak of its kind in school his<strong>to</strong>ry. TE Andy Crooks, WR Luke Swan, LB Jonathan Casillas, DB Ben Strickland andP Ken DeBauche were voted by their teammates as captains for the <strong>2007</strong> season.Bielema will rotate a sixth captain throughout the season. UW hasn’t had six teamcaptains since the 2001 season. Strickland, the leading vote-getter, is the first “nonstarter”<strong>to</strong> be named a captain at Wisconsin since RB Carl McCullough in 1997. De-Bauche is the first specialist <strong>to</strong> be named a captain at Wisconsin since Roger Jaeger (akicker) in 1971. Wisconsin sold out its entire allotment of home game tickets prior <strong>to</strong> the star<strong>to</strong>f the season for the third consecutive year. UW sold a <strong>to</strong>tal of 69,270 season ticketsfor the <strong>2007</strong> campaign. Camp Randall Stadium has played host <strong>to</strong> 28 straight sellouts.In fact, the Badgers have a drawn at least 70,000 fans <strong>to</strong> 92 consecutive homegames (among those 92 games, 82 have been sellouts). The crowd of 82,630 vs. Iowaon Sept. 22 was the fifth-largest in school his<strong>to</strong>ry.Offensive <strong>Notes</strong> Wisconsin ranks fourth in the country in time of possession, holding the ballfor an average of 33:11 over the first seven games. In its four conference games, UWis winning the T.O.P. battle 32:53-27:07. The Badgers have converted 47.5 percent of their third downs this season, thirdin the Big Ten and good for 14th in the country. UW is also 4-of-7 on fourth downthis year (57.1 percent), fifth in the Big Ten. In just two seasons as a tight end, Travis Beckum has 1,458 career receivingyards, just one yard behind David Charles for 10th place on UW’s all-time receivingyardage list. At his current pace, Beckum would be<strong>com</strong>e just the third player inWisconsin his<strong>to</strong>ry with more than 1,000 yards receiving in a season. Freshman Kyle Jefferson set career highs in both receptions (six) and receivingyards (124). The 124 yards were the second-most by a true freshman receiver in UWhis<strong>to</strong>ry, trailing only Brandon Williams, who had 125 yards on Sept. 7, 2002 vs.West Virginia. Jefferson is averaging 19.7 yards per catch and is responsible for the Badgers’two longest <strong>to</strong>uchdowns this season, a 64-yard reception vs. Michigan State anda 43-yarder at Illinois. Among players with at least 300 receiving yards, Jefferson’s19.7 yards per reception is No. 1 nationally for freshmen and No. 12 in the countryoverall. QB Tyler Donovan recorded career highs in pass <strong>com</strong>pletions (27), attempts(49) and yards (392) at Illinois on Oct. 6. His 392 passing yards are the third-most inBadger his<strong>to</strong>ry and the most for a UW player since Darrell Bevell threw for a school-

Donovan’s 27 <strong>com</strong>pletions were the fourth-most inschool his<strong>to</strong>ry. Sophomore running back P.J. Hill has scored 12 <strong>to</strong>uchdowns this season (exactlyhalf of Wisconsin’s <strong>to</strong>tal) and is tied for second in the Big Ten in scoring (10.3ppg., tied for 10th in the country). Hill has scored at least one TD in 16 of his 20games as a Badger. He now has 28 career <strong>to</strong>uchdowns, tied with Lee Evans for fifthbestin UW his<strong>to</strong>ry. Hill has rushed for at least 100 yards in 12 of his 20 games as a Badger, includingfour of seven this season. He is averaging 117.9 rushing yards per game, good forfourth in the Big Ten and 15th in the country. Hill is the 11th player in Wisconsin his<strong>to</strong>ry <strong>to</strong> rush for 2,000 yards in a career.He passed the 2,000-yard mark in just his 17th career game. That is tied with AnthonyDavis for the second-fastest <strong>to</strong> 2,000 yards in school his<strong>to</strong>ry (Ron Dayne wen<strong>to</strong>ver 2,000 yards in his 13th game). Hill currently has 2,394 yards, good for ninth onUW’s career list. Wisconsin has scored points in the final two minutes of the first half in 12 ofthe last 15 games (and 14 out of 20 in the Bielema era). Under Bielema, UW hasscored 95 points (11 <strong>to</strong>uchdowns and six field goals) in the final two minutes of thefirst half. The Badger offense is currently without long-time wide receivers coach HenryMason, who sustained a spinal cord injury over the summer. Mason is rehabilitatingwith an aim <strong>to</strong>ward returning <strong>to</strong> the program. In his place, head coach Bret Bielemahired DelVaughn Alexander <strong>to</strong> coach the Badger receivers on an interim basis.Alexander played at USC and coached in the Pac-10 at his alma mater and at OregonState.Defensive <strong>Notes</strong> UW’s defense has allowed 67 points in the second half this season (an averageof 9.6), allowing the Badgers <strong>to</strong> outscore their opponents 89-67 after halftime. TheBadgers have allowed an average of 73.8 fewer yards in the second half this season. True freshman defensive back Aaron Henry recorded a sack against Penn Stateand leads the team with 3.5 quarterback sacks this season. That is the most for aBadger defensive back in a season since QB sacks began being tracked at UW in1981. Junior linebacker Jonathan Casillas leads the Badgers in tackles with 53 this season,good for eighth in the Big Ten. He recorded a team-leading 10 tackles at PennState, his second consecutive double-digit tackle game and fourth of his career.Special Teams <strong>Notes</strong> Taylor Mehlhaff has kicked 38 field goals in his career, one behind Mike Allenfor third place on UW’s career list. He also has 51 field goal attempts in his career,tied with John Hall for fourth all-time.

The only older on-campus facilities are:Georgia Tech (1913), Mississippi State (1914) and Cincinnati (1916).Camp Randall’s current seating capacity (80,321) came about following anearly $110 million dollar renovation of the facility that was <strong>com</strong>pleted in2005. Included in the renovation was the addition of 72 suites, new footballand administrative offices (Kellner Hall), an enclosure of the south end of thestadium, three new video scoreboards and a new FieldTurf playing surface.The Camp Randall grounds were used as a Civil War training site. It also heldConfederate soldiers, many of whom died and were laid <strong>to</strong> rest on the westside of Madison. The area known as “soldiers rest” is the northernmostConfederate cemetary in the United States.Camp Randall Stadium served as a living quarters for students and militarypersonnel during the 1940s. Dormi<strong>to</strong>ries were built underneath the east-sidestands. Approximately 150 men lived there. In addition, there was a rifle range,as well as boxing and wrestling rooms.One of the newest traditions at Camp Randall Stadium is “Jump Around.”Between the third and fourth quarters, the song “Jump Around” by House ofPain is played in the facility and the 80,000-plus fans delight in doing as thetune instructs.
