MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The last time Wisconsin had hopes of elbowing its way into college football's elite, the Badgers flinched.

Now facing a similar situation two years later, they think they're better equipped for the challenge.

Coming off last season's 10-3 campaign and Champs Sports Bowl victory over Miami, the Badgers have the ingredients to make a breakthrough, even if they're often found behind Ohio State and Iowa in preseason conference predictions.

Fifth-year senior quarterback Scott Tolzien says the team is bound to face adversity this year, and wonders whether they will band together -- or break apart, like they appeared to do in their disappointing 2008 season.
