This Friday the Illinois football team will take the field for the first time in 2020 as they take on a tough Wisconsin Badgers program.

Usually, when you talk about Wisconsin football, you mainly focus on a stout defense that can wreak havoc. But the Badgers have put a solid offensive on the field the last couple of years.

In 2019, Wisconsin had a quarterback who threw for over 2,500 yards. They had a running back who went for over 2,000 yards. They also had a wide receiver who went for over 900 yards. That is how much firepower the Badgers produced last season.

This firepower resulted in some impressive numbers. Wisconsin scored an average of 34.1 points per game in 2019, which ranked No. 18 in the nation. They also had an overall record of 10-4 with their only losses coming to No. 6 Oregon, No. 1 Ohio State, No. 3 Ohio State and Illinois.

Entering the 2020 campaign, the Badgers look to do some damage on the offensive side of the ball once again. But this version of the Wisconsin offense is going to look drastically different than what we saw last season.

Here is a breakdown of the 2020 Wisconsin Badgers offense.
