After padded practices began yesterday Wisconsin running backs Garrett Groshek and Nakia Watson meet with the media today and discussed the upcoming season.
I’ll publish notes from the press conference later today, but one quote stuck out that was impossible to pass over.
That quote came when Watson was asked about what it meant to go right into Big Ten play and face Illinois Week 1, a team that beat the Badgers last season.
Watson’s response: “We do like that. Illinois definitely deserves a butt whooping from last year.”
You wanted preseason hype and trash talk? You got it.
That quote now gets to marinate for 23 days until the Fighting Illini come to Madison to open their 2020 season.
Check back into BadgersWire later today for full notes from the press conference.
