Wisconsin turns to former coach for the Rose Bowl
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin is going retro for the Rose Bowl.
Left without a coach when Bret Bielema bolted for Arkansas, the Badgers asked former coach and current athletic director Barry Alvarez to lead them when they face No. 8 Stanford on New Year's Day.
"We wouldn't want anyone else but coach Alvarez to coach us in this game," linebacker Mike Taylor said Thursday. "Kids like me, growing up in Wisconsin, you watched him on the sidelines and you always dreamed of playing for him."
