A look at some key statistics for Wisconsin Football to improve on in 2017

Wisconsin Football fans can’t complain too much in advance of the 2017 season. Despite a painful blown lead in the Big Ten Title game, Wisconsin Football won the Cotton Bowl.

Hopefully the Cotton Bowl win sent a message to soon-to-be Minnesota Golden Gopher coach PJ Fleck that he has his work cut out for him in Minneapolis #RowTheBoat.

Another good sign is that Paul Chryst is entrenched as Wisconsin Football head coach and isn’t likely to leave anytime soon. The revolving door at defensive coordinator should grind to a halt with Jim Leonhard installed there.

But looking ahead to the 2017 Wisconsin Football season there are still some statistical categories that the Badgers need to improve over 2016.

Scroll through to see some areas on both sides of the ball for Wisconsin Football to boost its numbers.
