>> The Badgers are bringing back a very young team this year, with just one senior on the roster: forward Aaron Moesh. Junior forward Ethan Happ is the lone returning starter from last year's team, and nine of Wisconsin's 17 players are either sophomores or freshmen. UW head coach Greg Gard got a lot of questions about how he plans on developing a young team, and Gard said that he's doing some new things this year - including incorporating a few lessons he learned while spending time with the Green Bay Packers during the offseason.

"Spending a day with the Packers and with Mike (McCarthy) I took some things from how they do meetings, position-specific, and we’ve started doing some position-specific film break down," Gard said. "Obviously it’s a much smaller group than a football locker room or video room, but I thought that was really good. We’ve implemented some little things that can help expedite or speed up their development so I’ve given each of the assistants a position-specific group and they’ve done a good job of grabbing those guys and helping."
