  "account": "Wisconsin Badgers aim to improve upon their 11th ranked offense and 11th ranked defense in the Big Ten rankings. With the return of RB Darius Taylor, QB Colton Joseph, and OL Nathan Roy, the Badgers have reasons for optimism. However, they will lack a traditional OL in front of Joseph, as two new power conference starters join the roster. Meanwhile, the defense will feature 5 projected starters with fewer than 400 career snaps, indicating potential holes for opposing teams to exploit.",
